Turning Vegan.....?


Sometimes, the folks would get us these breakfast sets from one of the coffee shops nearby. These sets consists of fried eggs, bacon or ham/sausages and a serving of spaghetti which is fried with garlic, onions with a serving of the tomato-based sauce.


Today's brunch was the one with bacon as usual. As I bit into the egg, I had this funny feeling coming over me. I was thinking "this thing would develop into something alive".

First signs of turning vegan?





I'm not going to give up the Jack Daniel's Steak at TGIF's, or the Country Fried Steak at Chilli's, or even the Double Cheeseburger (though I admit it looks horrible in that pic above) or Big Mac at McDonald's! Will I give that up? HELL NO!

An old customer said this to me once. An old lady was in the drive thru lane and she got confused at which window to stop at to place her order. She ended up drving back and forth in the lane at least 3 times.

A man in his late 20s was behind her in his pickup truck. After the old lady completed her order, it was the man's turn to be served.

Man: Dickheads like that shouldn't be driving.

Me (Apologetic tone): I'm sorry sir, that was an old lady and she got confused with the number of windows we have open

Man: It doesn't matter if you're young or old, man or a woman, if you're a dickhead, you're a dickhead!

I think I'm starting to agree.







Some people are so inconsiderate. I managed to see who the driver was, some Indian lady. I was just so tempted to fling my gate open so that it hits and scratches the car. What kind of person parks the car and blocks of someone's gate?

The reviews of the "Transformers" movie are out. Mostly good. I have yet to watch it. Megan Fox seems to be everywhere now. Megan Fox is on the cover of MAXIM. Fuah!!!!!

There are some others from FHM Online, but are deemed NSFW (Not Safe For Work) - so I better not post those.



Some early reviews of Apple's iPhone are in as well.

  • The mobile version of OS X or whatever it is the iPhone runs takes up 700MB of the device's capacity. Damn son!
  • There's no way to cut, copy, or paste text! WHOA! Big, big mistake.
  • No A2DP support. That, friends, is such a huge bummer right there.
  • Sorry, music can't be used as a ringtone -- even if it's just a raw MP3. No additional ringtones will be sold at launch.
  • On a PC the iPhone syncs with Outlook for calendars AND addresses! Noice.
  • It supports Exchange in some capacity, according to Walt, but he doesn't exactly say how.
  • Pogue again confirms document file reading -- but not editing -- for PDF, Word, and Excel (only).
  • Adobe Flash support is officially out. It's just not in the browser. Neither is there any other kind of embedded video support. Sorry everybody, that's that.
  • It will take snaps, but won't record video. How can Apple love YouTube as much as it does and not realize cellphone-shot movies make up a sizeable chunk of the crazy crap you find on there?
  • Oh, and no MMS. And sorry, no voice dialing, either.
  • Contact groups can't be emailed as contact lists.
  • Apple sez between 300-400 charges the iPhone will lose battery capacity -- you'll send it in and get the cell replaced for a fee. Meh. We knew this would be the case, but still, meh.
  • Apple can (and supposedly will) be rolling out periodic updates -- no surprise there.
  • Battery life is, somehow, almost as mind-blowingly good as Apple claims for calls, music, and movies.
  • As we suspected, users are prompted with lists of WiFi networks if you're not nearby a trusted hotspot. We've seen this on other phones, and we're afraid this would get friggin annoying.
  • It's said to be very scratch resistant. The facade both front and rear apparently just doesn't pick up marring like regular iPods do.
  • Voice quality is said to be good -- not great.

Suddenly, it doesn't seem like such a good phone. But I still think it looks really good and wouldn't mind owning one. Maybe if I didn't pay for it.....
