er, stripped down
9:03 AM buddy: lol
does it make you want a sausage biscuit?
9:04 AM me: LOL
HAHAHA

LOL

turns out John pulled the trigger too late.

Gtalk:

12:52 PM Darlin’: I’m sad, you can say I told you so and monkey knuckle me :-(
me: no tv?
Darlin’: They called me and I have no tv
me: :(
oh well
12:53 PM what did they tell you?
Darlin’: that they had one more left but that was reserved just before me
me: wow
that hurts…
12:54 PM
me: well, did they actually charge your card?
or are you getting a refund?
Darlin’: nope it was just pending. It was not charged yet
Darlin’: just say it….
me: lol
Darlin’: “You told me so”
me: nah, that’s alright
:)
you already said it
lol
What is really annoying when it comes to buying online is the accuracy of available inventory.
J&R.com couldn’t update their site fast enough to let customers know when something is out of stock. After John ordered his TV, I checked J&R to see if they had any left. Their website still allowed me to put in an order, even though (in hindsight) I know for a fact that they’re out of stock.
I know a few websites that are really good about updating their site with accurate inventory numbers – bluefly.com, eluxury.com, and smartbargains.com. They’ll let customers know how many of that product is available. And when the last one is gone, the page is either removed or will show “out of stock.” — Very nice.
So J&R buyers beware – you might not get your package even if you think you bought it.

good times.

movie night at my place. rather than popping in a DVD or purchasing a movie from On-Demand, I had a movie on my laptop, hooked up the monitor cable to my TV and used my TV as a second monitor – and it turned out almost great. Can you guess what we watched tonight by the picture below?! :)

46" LCD TV being Used as a Second Monitor

46

I totally forgot that I needed external speakers since factory speakers aren’t that loud, so we watched on my big screen and had to listen to the movie from my laptop…dOh!

thanks to the guys for bringing over dinner, drinks and dessert for the evening. because of them, my fridge is the fullest it’s ever been since I moved in in April.

good times and good night yall.

so John pulled the trigger…the LCD TV trigger that is. Congrats darlin’! :D

On Monday, while John went to Costco to pick up his futon, I found a deal for the Samsung 5271 on Amazon.

J&R put the TV on clearance for the price of $1799…woohoo.

So, for the past couple days, Mark and I have been trying to persuade John to just get that TV. hehe, thanks Mark. It’s a great deal for the specs:

  • 52″
  • 120HZ
  • 1080p
  • Great design by reputable brand

Mark and I both have that same Samsung series, 4671, and love it. The only thing we both wish we could change is the size – we want the 52″. In LCD TV world, bigger is better.

I called John around noon and jokingly said, “Did you get your TV yet?!!!” I think at that point John was really sick of hearing me ask and his response was, “OK, OK! I’ll get the TV. Geez, feels like I’m buying you a present” :P

pPpPBbBLLLTtTT! whatever! hahaha.

At least his worries of getting a TV is over. He’s been looking for the past few years and has been TV less for the last 2 months. In a few weeks, he will have cable and internet once again :D wooohoo! Goodbye to movies on his 12″ laptop when I’m in L.A.

Gtalk:

mark: we succeeded

me: yah!

mark: he’ll be happy with his new purchase
me: he texted me

mark: me too

this is a hella quick follow up to my post, but mark replied to my crush video with this

Gtalk: 10:04AM

me: how did you find that?
mark: lucas

10:08 AM mark: lol

this crush aint going away…

today’s hawt post led me to David Archuletta’s latest single “Crush” – current top jam @ the moment for moi.

Gtalk: 9:51AM

me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBiW44cWu4c

buddy: too early for me to feel sappy!
hahahah
me: LOL
it’s good!
buddy: poo poo break..
i’ll be back
me: haha
oki.

Decided to have dim sum at ABC in Foster City for lunch since John’s never been. It’s a decent place… somewhat satisfying. We got there @ 12:30 and boy, was it crowded! Good thing for us is that we were only a couple, so we only had to wait about 10 minutes before getting seated. As we were eating, I saw people who came before us get seated about 15 minutes after us – geez! Our table wasn’t the most pleasant seat in the house b/c we were in a walking aisle by ourselves near the bathroom. but it was probably the best in regards to food selection. Every single cart had to pass by us to get to both sides of the restaurant :)

Not much else for the rest of the day. John knocked out for a few hours due to MSG overdose, while I hung out on the couch watching the olympics and organizing digital pictures. Also, John left back to L.A. tonight – bummer.

G$ is coming over soon to loan me some books on python and SQL server – Man, I’m so lucky to have such nice friends :) Gonna go make some Ramen + egg + broccoli now…goodnight!

buddy: k. just asked e.
buddy: “do you remember auntie’s friend?”
buddy: e. said “yes, its madeleine”
me: :) )
me: he couldn’t remember my name before, right?
buddy: yeah
buddy: but after you entered your name as MAD he does now
me: :) )

gtalk: 10:05 AM
me: waDdup!
it’s summer!
buddy: woohoo
only baseball!
me: haha
true..

10:50 AM
DUDE
i’m SAD
:( ((
i didn’t respond cause i was talking to my cube neighbor
he’s just personally let me know that he’s leaving too
next friday is his last day
buddy: Dang!
me: :(
i’m happy for him
just sad he’s not my cube neighbor anymore
buddy:You got attached, and now that they’re leaving, it’s bittersweet.
me: :(

what started off as a happy friday quickly turned sad…alex passes by my cube, gives me a glance and says, “i’m seriously bummed.” – we were both thinking the same thing…ditto that, dude!

not a lot of words are running through my head… just staring at my screen and feeling down knowing that Tim is leaving – very sad.

his notice also prompts me to send out that follow up email… the ball might start rollin’ soon on another opportunity.

it’s thursday! assuming the usual suspects are around, that means it’s a night to meet up and workout…

gchat 2:19 PM
buddy: i change crushes like i change undewear
me: LOL

gchat 2:34PM
buddy: sorry i went poo
me: it’s cool
:)
buddy: i just had an embarrassing moment
i walked dick and jane to the elevator before i went…
and i started walking away to the bathroom
the far bathroom
they asked where i was going
i hollered “i’m going to go poo in the other bathroom”
me: LOL
buddy: and when i said that, some lady walked out the nearby restroom
i don’t know if she looked good but my view of her bubble butt was nice
me: LOL
LOL
that’s funny
buddy: and so i replied, “and now this chick knows i’m going to go poo in the other bathroom”
me: lol
feel better now?
buddy: now that i’ve pooed
yes

we decided to meet up in at my place around 6:30 and do a run around redwood shores. gee and nooj came over and nooj noticed wii play in the TV stand – haha, plans immediately changed from running in my hood to wii time.

played wii play a bit before moving on to starwars. nooji and i ridiculously battled each other rather than destroying villains for the most part until i went to grab some food for dinner (costco’s pizza, broccoli and chicken wings!).

after dinner was when we decided to do some sort of real physical activity and walked the 2.5mile loop in the neighborhood. it was a nice night and didn’t get dark til 9:30. skipped some rocks, er, attempted to, on the water and headed back to catch America’s Best Dance Crew. Season 2 isn’t as exciting to watch as season 1, imo.

oh yea! gee brought over his new mac notebook – talk about dope! got major laughs playing with his webcam and the software. apple has such a cool notebook…i want one!

had my milk and cookies (lacey’s dark chocolate and almond cookies tonight – oh yum)… and then the guys headed home – good times, always :)

time for bed!
