The Confused Daoist: 06.2008
http://confuseddaoist.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
It's a Grind doesn't make the cut. Nice girl took my order though she seemed a bit distracted which is common in this place. Then I walk over near the pick up counter to await my coffee. The three people in front of me eventually got their coffee. Then the three people behind me got their orders. And note - these weren't just coffee orders from the pre-brewed pots they were espresso and latte and iced coffee orders. I pointedly tell him Hot! Three minutes later he finally hands me my coffee and proceeds ...

Credit Card companies resist regulation. I'm sorry. WHAT? CitiBank is Rate-Jacking again! I had no idea that regulated industries had a say in the matter when regulation was pending, to help prevent things like S&L meltdowns, or Banking collapses, or Credit Card Client Raping! It has become painfully obvious that Banks and Wallstreet can not self regulate. They've proven this time and again! There's pushback from taxes but average Joe Blows like you and me still dole out our taxes every year like lemings!

I've had some interesting things happen lately that has caused me to consider art and what makes art. I've never considered myself very artistic. I have long been interested in various standard forms of art; Music, Painting, Sculpture and Photography, perhaps others. Now I don't think anyone would argue that each of the disciplines I mentioned are truly art of some nature. After college I got my first job as a programmer and I found a new hobby, building Combat Robots competing in Battlebots. Neither...

MandiRants: January 2008
http://mandiscrib.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 12, 2008. Lots been going on since we got back from Ecuador. There were the holidays of course. But before the holidays, we decided to get new flooring in our place. We had been talking to Carpeteria before the Ecuador trip and just needed to say "Go." So, we did. But for some crazy reason, Ray wanted to get them started before Christmas. And crazy me, agreed! So, we headed up to NorCal on Sunday. Had a great visit with the B Pons. It was so nice to spend some time with them! I gotta gi...

MandiRants: November 2007
http://mandiscrib.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 20, 2007. Wellfinally found out that Ray's company is moving forward.just NOT with me. It's very bittersweet. I wanted to know, but now that I know, I feel like a loser (and make sure you pronounce it "Lu-Zah! I'll still keep applying to jobs, but having an "in" really helps at a company. The recruiter is going to forward my resume onto what sounds like a pool that HR peeps can pull from. So, hopefully someone will see it and want me. Oh well. Saturday, November 17, 2007. When I was com...

Thursday, December 6, 2007. I love it when a plan comes together." Anyone know who said that? I'm embarrassed to say.but it was Hannibal from the TV show "The A-Team." Aw.come on! It was the 80's! Now that show was good! Where else could you learn to use a stick of chewing gum to hold a one ton piece of metal to a piece of wood? P OK, OK.back to the present! I've been busy not working! And an English tutoring job. The bathroom project.to remove the wallpaper or paint over it? That be the question. I ...

The Confused Daoist: The Shrimp
http://confuseddaoist.blogspot.com/2008/08/shrimp.html
Well, lets tell the whole back story. I worked the game last night. Which among other things means I had to go up to the press box and eat in the dining area there. Okay, I guess I didn't have. To I ordered a yummy shrimp, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, angel hair pasta and red sauce topped with a little cheese and oregano. Like I said. Yummy! With my second bite a shrimp jumped to the back of my throat. No shit! It went directly from the fork to the back of my throat! An hour later I was waking up. ...

MandiRants: Ugh...

Sunday, November 11, 2007. Maybe someone can explain to me why the last part of my last post is such a small font! I can't seem to fix it either. I've tried several times to highlight my whole posting in edit mode, change the font type and size and then re-publish. Nothing happens. Weird. Of course, if no one else is seeing what I'm seeing, then ya all think I'm just technologically challenged and losin' it. And since I'm here, is it crazy to spend $3K on a bed? Even if it helps alleviate Ray's back pain?

MandiRants: June 2007
http://mandiscrib.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 28, 2007. OKso it's been a little over a month since we got married. That means it's been a little over a month since the missing groomsman (aka Kurtiss) didn't show up to be a groomsman. At this point, he's not missing. Now he's just dissing. Not cool. Early on, I thought about sending him a nasty email, but what's the point? What are the chances he's really going to read it? Hellllll noooo. We found out from Gerry (thanks dude! Maybe he doesn't care about his friendships, certainly makes...
