What's your morning beverage of choice? Coffee, tea, juice? Homemade or store-bought?
What was the first movie you remember seeing in a movie theater?
Question submitted by mainmor.
Star Wars. At least it was only known as Star Wars back then. I would go with my older sister to work on the weekends. She worked at Liberty House in San Antonio Shopping Center, which was located across the street from the Old Mill Six theaters. I would wander the shopping center — yes, all by myself — as she put in her 6 to 8 hour work day. If I went to work with her, I had to be willing to occupy myself the whole day.
There are only so many times you can go to the San Antonio Hobby Shop or to the bookstore, and so, I would cross the street and go to the Old Mill Six theaters. I still remember the first scene: the music, the scrolling words, the laser fire, the smoke, and Darth Vader.

Yeah, I had to have these photos for our wedding slideshow. I should really post farrah’s photos as well. I mean, it would only be fair, right?
My website is down for the second time in about six months. The reason my hosting company gives is hard drive failure - again! Two times, on two different servers, in six months. I think it may be time to make change.
So does anyone have a suggesting for a web hosting company? I’m looking for about 5GB of storage (for a small photo program I maintain), PHP and mySQL, and not much else. I’m not looking to break the bank on monthly fees, but anything under $25 is worth considering. I’m currently with Midphase and have been with Hostgator (who wasn’t bad at all).
If anyone has a suggestion I would appreciate it.
If you could be on any reality TV show, which one would you pick and why?
farrah and I always wonder how we would do on The Amazing Race. I'm sure we would bicker and fight as we tried to find our way through various countries. But I sure would love to go to all the places that have been on the show. It would be nice to travel more.

I dropped by 12" PowerBook[/caption]
I’m a recent Mac adopter. I bought my Powerbook last October and I just love it. I probably will never buy another Windows machine, unless something drastically changes. Last April, I did drop my PowerBook. It didn’t go boom but it did bend a bit.
I know accidents happen, so I was able to calm myself after the mishap. Given the mobile nature of notebooks accidents are more likely to happen. I’ve heard the life expectancy of a notebook is three years, give or take a year. I understand this. Imagine my suprise when I came home yesterday and couldn’t power-up the PowerBook.
My thoughts started racing. Did I drop this the PowerBook again? Did the previous accident just have a delayed effect? Did the cat sabatoge the PowerBook? Can I convince farrah we should just buy a new one? Oh crap, when was the last time I backed up this baby?
I started to freak. farrah and I tried several steps before I started Internet searches on 12" PowerBook No Power. There was several forum postings, and one off blog entries about this problem. None of the solutions were working. Stress on the old ticker was building.
I then decided to go straight to the Apple support site for PowerBooks. Can you guess what the first problem listed on the front page was? It was “My computer won’t turn on" All I needed to do was a simply hold down the Shift-Control-Option-Power for five seconds, then power back up. Whew!

Disaster avoided, but a lessen learned. Boy, do I need to do a backup and soon.
Eh, maybe next week.
What's your cell phone's ringtone? What made you pick it?
U2’s Vertigo is my default ringtone You know the part?
Hello hello
I’m at a place called Vertigo
It’s everything I wish I didn’t know
Except you give me something I can feel, feel
I just never get sick of U2. I’ve seen U2 several time in concert, both with BossaNova and farrah. They always put on a great show.
What was your favorite candy when you were a kid? How does that compare to now?
The candy that has carried over from childhood to my adult years is Hersey’s Chocolate Bar without Almonds. Every time my dad would come home from work, he would bring home one of these. I’d sit there at the kitchen table and imagine the whole chocolate bar represented a building, with each square a floor of the building. I then imagined myself as Godzilla, devouring said building until there was no more.
I still devour the chocolate building. I just don't make the Godzilla noises any longer. My wife finds it irritating.
It’s about 12:40 am right now and it is still warm in the house. All I can think about is how hot it is supposed to be tomorrow. I can’t think how I’m going to keep cool tomorrow. Should I go to the mall? Should I see a movie? Should I walk around Fry’s Electronics until I can’t stand being there any longer?
Speaking of Fry’s Electronics, I stopped by there after work. There seemed to be a mad rush of people buying the $400-$600 portable air conditioning units displayed in the center aisle. It was almost an end-of-the-world-I’m-going-to-get-mine-and-I’ll-kill-you-if-you-look-at-me-funny sort of rush. The heat makes you do crazy things, I suppose.
I wish I could be like Tiana is in the photo. I wish I could break out the inflatable pool, fill it up with water from the hose, and just lay there in the water.
Come to think of it, who says I can’t do it?
What's your favorite drink or cocktail? What's in it?Question submitted by charm.vox.com
When I gt in the mood, I like to take a trip to Long Island with a Long Island Ice Tea. There are variations on this drink, but basic ingredients are:
1 part vodka
1 part tequila
1 part rum
1 part gin
1 part triple sec
1 1/2 parts sweet and sour mix
1 splash Coca-Cola®

After three of these I’m a happy camper. If I had to choose another beverage it would be nice pint of Guinness Beer.
Paris Hilton
"It will surprise a lot of people because there's real artistry coming from Paris."
This above quote is about Paris, France, right?
No, the article is talking about Paris Hilton and her catchy pop-reggae-island-beat song that is playing all over the airwaves. I’ve seen the glimpses of the video on VH1 so many times - but I haven’t been able to sit through the whole thing.
Just goes to show you: anyone in the digital age can be made a singer.
Those guys in Yahoo! Japan get all the fun, don’t they? I found this video while surfing YouTube. I never heard of the guy or the show, but hey, I don’t watch much Japanese television.
I was happy that there was a version with English subtitles. I guess the user Bakafish takes the time to subtitle these little adventures. If you want to watch more hilarity, do a search on YouTube for Bakafish and Hard Gay.
