JVC has an adaptor for my Ipod that will hook up to my car stereo. $35-ish on E-bay. Much cheaper than the FM transmitters and, well, a hell of a lot better in functionality, sound, etc. And it will even charge the i-Pod as well. All controls happen on the stereo itself. This rocks. Now if only I can get my next paycheck.

...brings a dog to a hotel and leaves it in their room while they go out? Okay, okay...that might be a bit harsh without some qualifiers as I know that nkcmike and aminita do this (or at least used to do this, I think). But their dog was at least trained and knew how to behave. The problems with this particular scenario:

• This is a small yappy dog with a high ( Read more... )

Today begins a long 2-weeks of work-related travel. Leaving both weeks at 7:10 on Monday (which means I'm up at 0 dark thirty) and not getting back to my destination city (Mpls this week, KC next week) 'til after 5:30 or 6 on Friday. Then most of two weeks of vacation. I will not let them tell me that I >have< to be in for year-end. I may ( Read more... )

• Most of a bottle of wine over the past 4 hours. Some Popeye's chicken and biscuits shared with some co-workers while re-hashing a day that was certainly one of the more interesting over the past several months.
  
• The comment that I made after getting back to the hotel that was something to the effect of "Um...she's going upstairs with a massage ( Read more... )

ahhh...the lovely LJ. I remember you.

I'm back, although I don't know how often...maybe once a week...maybe less, maybe more. Hell I dunno!

Crazy busy >all< the time. Job stuff is starting to play out as I'd imagined it several months ago. Much traveling...been a plane more in the past 3-4 months than I think I have my entire life. Pieces of ( Read more... )

Is.Simply.Absolutely.Beautiful.

First trip to NY was this past week. To be accurate, my first trip to Long Island was this past week. I didn't get to venture into the city as there wasn't really time and the thought of doing that by myself wasn't really appealing. So I stayed on the island the entire week. Flew in and out of JFK, which I must say ranks at the bottom of my ( Read more... )

She was amazingly beautiful. It may have been partially that I was a bit drunk but it's been confirmed by several people that she was. I cannot remember the last time that I crushed on someone this hard. I saw her for one night. I talked to her one time. I danced near (not with) her for an hour or two. And yet, I was in such awe. Next time ( ( Read more... )

Luggage has been found and is en route to the hotel. I feel much better now. I will make sure that I collect my $50 from Northwest considering I spent $70-80 last night on clothes, etc.

Vacation starts in just under 24 hours.
