Filming for Sex and the City

We just saw Kim Catrell and the girls filming at Escada (think Rodeo Dr., but actually it's on the corner of Wilshire/El Camino kitty korner from Rodeo). I'm assuming they were filming a scene for the new movie coming out, but of course could be wrong. "Sam" was dressed in a white skirt, yellow shirt, with a blue purse and shoes.

Think about it?

Does God and healthcare mix? When most of us say our prayers we usually pray for the sick and being able to provide for our family by being successful at work, but where does the line get drawn. When I pray for success at work am I also praying for people to get sick? Because the only way for me to get O2 orders is for people to get sick. So should I continue to pray for the sick that they get well or do I pray for being sucessful at work and hope that people get sick for just a short period of time?

Q

Corporate America

Finally into the swing at work and learning that politics don't run corporate America, system failure does. For instance, where would you see a company release a new software program and train everyone on it just to remove it within one week; only in corporate America. (Microsoft excluded. They're the only company who would release useless software to the masses and still charge $500+). System failure I can assume costs companies million's of dollars per year. System failure is prevalent in communication errors where if someone would just repeat themselves twice you wouldn't receive ten cases of an item but just the 10 individual units that you wanted originally. System failures are also rampant in antiquated technology that corporate America insist that my 686 PC can run Windows XP. My favorite system failure has to be purchasing your own product, that you sold to another competitor, back at a premium.

On the bright side I love my job, not just the benefits. I love that I am no longer at the will of others and their schedules. I am now able to be at home at night. I love not being tied to a desk. I also like that fact that I get a salary. I also love that I am now able to return to school for that all elusive college degree.

Until next time Q.

What's so great about STARBUCKS?

So for Wade's office party everyone got a Christmas bonus...except for Wade. Go figure. But we did get the cute little Starbucks thermas and gift card that were on the table. Since I had it I figured I might as well use it.

Have you ever noticed how many Starbucks are around? I mean, I can now think of 5 all within 2 miles of each other and there is one in the front part of the parking lot at the grocery store I go to all of the time and I have never noticed it before. Does America really need a coffee fix that badly? Besides, the atmosphere is just okay, right now there is Christmas music playing. But who really wants to spend $4 or more on a cup of joe? even if it has been whipped, frapped, syruped, frothed, and blasted into outerspace (which by the way would more than justify the cost, Space Coffee)? Not to mention the calories and fat content of said drinks. Anyone for a Peppermint Mocha, only 280 calories for 16 fluid oz. and 3 grams of fat, or how about an Eggnog Latte 450 calories and a whopping 18 grams of fat for the same size? And that is only their medium, the venti, or large to those who don't know SB lingo, is even better. So I've tried their hot chocolate and pastries. They actually have small sandwiches and salads, and a few of the locations even had Egg McMuffin looking things for breakfast. The problem is, who wants to pay what they are asking? I'm surprised that each place I've stopped there has 1: been a line at every place 2: seating is limited as there are always too many people milling around, reading the paper, drinking their jolt for the day 3: been no parking but hey it is LA and 4: Daniel always wants to sit down in a seat and join in with the masses. What is up with that?

not quite right....

my daily commute... http://flickr.com/photos/37134561@N00/296185325/ quite funny to see four guys lined up taking a whizz....one of the walls actually collapsed from all the acid.....or the time I saw two guys strip down to their skivvies and take a shower from a water tank...in the middle of the airport runway while I was taxiing for take off.....incredible India....

MRI and Circumcision

You may be wondering what these have to do with each other. Both are great experiences at the local hospital. I had an MRI on my back today. Nothing like being crammed into a small tube for 25 minutes with a jack hammer going off inside. Not an experience that I'd like to repeat. At least it only cost $125....

So I had a kidney stone earlier and had to see a urologist. During the exam he non-chalantly picks up me privates and says " i see you've been circumcised" I said yes, to which he asked "how old where you when you were circumcised?" "is your son circumcised?" "how old was he" then he had a colleague come and check it out as well. was ready to turn my backside and ask if he wanted to examine my a-hole as well while he was at it.....

incredible india......

hn...

If only you knew how true that was.... D: so yeah people come look @ my blogggggggggggggg.

Incredible India - just not quite right

Have decided to post daily "funnies" about life in India. Two for today as I missed yesterday.

Went to the new food court near the office, which happens to have a KFC. Ordered the set meal (sandwich, fries and drink) and was waiting for my food. The girl who took my order comes over and says "sorry sir, we're out of fries what else would you like." I told her I was fine waiting for them to cook some more, to which she replied "no more fires". They were out!!! A fast food restaurant had no more fries.....my friend and I were in such shock we just laughed...only in India

And today we went out to do laundry and discovered that the dryer plug has melted. Not sure how this has happened, but worried about the rest of the wiring.

If I can will copy the front page article from yesterday's paper on the religious ceremony where they throw babies from the roof of a temple and catch them in blankets. Only one missed and landed with a dull thud.....
