George came over before heading off to work and helped me finish hooking up my media center. I had gotten all the cables necessary for hooking up all my components but still needed a little help running the last few cables behind the wall.
At eleven o’clock we both witnessed the true beauty of Gran Turismo on the PS3 running at 1080p on a 46′ Sony Bravia. If you’re nerd you probably just wet yourself with envy.
Angela later called an informed me she was heading back to Taiwan forever.
Today was the day I’d been dreading for a while. I had to go and pick up my damaged dresser from storage and I was worried that George and I wouldn’t be able to get it done. Actually, that’s not true, I was just upset with having to rent a van, deal with the storage people and having to lift this stupidly heavy piece of furniture. Luckily George and I were joking around so much, since he had been in the Dominican Republic for a week, that I didn’t even notice any of it.
Once we got the dresser home and returned the van George helped me remove the television from the wall and repair the gaping hole left behind by the Geek Squad a few weeks ago. As a reward for all his hard work I took him to get his nails done. I think he totally had a blast. How could you not enjoy a gorgeous woman pampering you?
On our way back home I got a call from T, who I haven’t seen for a while. I invited her to dinner with Al and Jina. Yup Jina! She called earlier that day and asked what I was up too. I figured this would be a great opportunity to have her meet Al and T and get their impressions. I was a bit worried it would turn into a total cluster fuck but it turned out to be a great dinner at Tre.
After that we hit Jessica’s birthday party which turned out to be interesting. People need to learn that drinking doesn’t grant you the magical ability to say whatever pops into your head. On the bright side Angela showed up and met my amigos.
Afterward she took me to a secret after hour Chinatown restaurant that is located down a staircase in the middle of nowhere. It seems all the asian club kids hit this spot at four in the morning.
The highlight of the night was making out with her on the relatively empty streets of Chinatown. The whole time keeping one eye on the triads across the street shooting me the shit look. How exhilarating 
I was excited at the prospect of getting home at a reasonable hour. I’m not sure what came over me but as soon as I walked thru the door I changed into my running gear and went out. Unlike Sunday I managed to run 2 miles in a little under 20 minutes.
I spent the rest of the night watching bad reality television.
Got off of work and went directly home to finally enjoy the true power and beauty of my new Sony Bravia. Is it possible for a piece of technology to understand me so well? It doesn’t argue with me it just does what I tell it to do.
Maybe I just have a soft spot for bright shiny things?
Today I had three appointments and the worst neck pain I’ve ever experienced.
It seems Time Warner Cable has greatly improved their installation service because they were at my door, eight sharp. He came inside and immediately asked me to move everything around. I spent all weekend cleaning and for what?
My landlord, hearing all the noise decided to poke his head and see what all the fuss was about. George arrived a little later and I couldn’t help but feel this was the modern day version of Figaro. All I needed was R. Kelly to pop out of the closest.
My Date
Attractive, intelligent, well traveled and a great sense of style all add up to a second date.
I’m so happy that I finally have the TV of my dreams but I’m also nervous about the impending retinal damage.
My new apartment has a very small bedroom and large living room which sounds perfect but the problem is I have so much bedroom furniture that I’ve had to switch the layout. Making the large living room my bedroom and the small bedroom into my living room.
So how small is small? Well I think the exact room dimensions are 7 x 10 which isn’t that bad until you factor in the placement of the window and the heater. Once those are taken into consideration you encounter a ton of layout issues, leaving you with only one possible layout. A 46” Sony Bravia LCD flat panel mounted on the wall only 5 feet from your face. That’s my living room.
My eyes are going to explode and yellow yolk will run out. Just like a Cadbury Creme Egg placed in the microwave .
PS Why didn’t you get a smaller TV? Go big or go home, hater!
Update
1) Ran into Chika at Banana Republic. She helped me pick out all my new clothes. She is super sweet and has an amazing sense of fashion
2) Saw Rob play with his band Bellow. They were fucking amazing, as usual. They played this new song titled “Awful” and it was fucking great. I really think their sound is maturing.
