No, i’m not quite sure how we can create a burnable floppy disk of your 4.7gb DvD of Need for Speed 3 for Xbox360 to play on your computer at home.

Somehow I have a feeling it just won’t work.  Why you ask?  Even though you pointed out that both your computer and the Xbox are made by Microsoft, I think Bill Gates is still wondering why he didn’t add that feature to WindowsXP.  What an idiot, right?

What makes you think you can take an entire DvD and put it on a floppy?  Oh, I see, you have enough memory on your Windows.

This morning on the way to work I got behind a car that had a couple (six) Yankees stickers on the back of it.  No biggie I thought, just another dumb Yankees fan.

Then I saw their license plate.

It’s the first time in my life that I’ve had the urge to just completely run someone off the road into a ditch and watch their car burst into flames.

I <3 NY…

I think this is something to heavily consider, but does anyone else think that This is taking the registry idea a bit too far?

Right now we’re on the plane going back to NY from Atlanta where we’ve been the past few days for the Easter Holidays visiting my family.

I guess we should begin the story with about –how- we got to Atlanta flying out of Ithaca.  I took off work at 2pm on Thursday afternoon to drive to Ithaca and fly out of there.  Our connection was in Detroit, in which we had a 1 hour layover.  Great!  No wait, right?  Well, it surely doesn’t help if your plane traveling to Detroit is delayed by 30 minutes, but still not a biggie right?  Thirty minutes should be enough time to book it over to the other gate, which it was.  Cait and I huffed it over to the connecting gate after arriving in Detroit, I mean literally running with my six-month-pregnant-wife to the next gate, where the plane was there waiting for us!  Yes!  Score!!  Not.  Turns out even though we were there, ready to board, the plane sitting –right- there on the ground still connected to the gate tunnel… they gave our seats away.  Their reasoning was “you weren’t going to make it here”.  After explaining that we were, in fact, actually there and the plane had not even pulled away from the gate, we were still informed that “you wuldn’t gonna make it to dat plane cuz yo plane run late you see and it wuz cuz of da weatha so yo gonna hafta take nother flite now dun yo get sassy.  Mmhmm.”

In l33t airplane speak… Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

Do not ever fly Northwest Airlines.  What ended up happening is we had to get a hotel room for the night (which we had to pay for – no vouchers or freebies) all because NWA gave away our seats on the plane we paid for that we so bitterly watched take off.  Also, the help agents, or whatever the foxtrot you want to call them, are absolutely obnoxious, rude, and crass.  They had no sympathy whatsoever for us or our situation at all.

After flying out the next morning eventually to Atlanta, we had a great time thereafter.  We spent Friday night with a feasts of feasts including steak, shrimp, crab, fish, all sorts of stuff that took up the whole table (which was our “Easter” dinner).  After the great meal we retired for the evening and woke up early on Saturday to take a trip to rural Mississippi so that the rest of my extended family would have the chance to finally meet Caitlin considering they were not able to attend a wedding in New York.  I really think Cait enjoyed this part of the trip because she had never been this far out in the country before, where there weren’t street lights for 10 miles in any direction and the only place to eat dinner at (which we did) was the only restaurant within a 50 mile radius.  Cait of course spent lots of time with the Kilgore women and was pleasantly surprised (or so it seems) to find them overly welcoming and warm-hearted.

All in all we had a great trip to Atlanta and right now we’re on the plane flying back to utter coldness.  By they way:

NEVER RECLINE YOUR SEAT ON THE PLANE.  I WILL SHOOT YOU.  Take into consideration those behind you, it’s not like that 3 inches of reclining space makes that much difference to you, but it does the guy sitting behind you with long legs so that when you go back 3 inches, he loses about half a foot of actual space. 

Oh, and Northwest Airlines:  Die… kthxbye.

Happy Birthday John!!!

This weekend it was in the low 70’s so Cait and I went to the baseball hall of fame in Cooperstown, NY.  It has always been a dream of mine to go, and I finally got to (pictures soon to come).

But, I woke up this Tuesday morning and it was snowing again.  Damn you, New York.

Good job.  You don’t deserve to break it.  He will though and it’s very sad.
