Sorry guys that I haven’t written for the past several days. Between starting the night late after work and going out on the town pretty much every night, it’s been pretty jam packed. I’m pretty sure that I’ve eaten some authentic Szechuan, Vietnamese, and Thai food. I may have reached my Asian food quota. But we did eat at a steakhouse, and I got some decent prime rib (although I think that I ordered it a little too overcooked), as well as some blueberry/strawberry shortcake dessert. The dessert was the best that I’ve had in quite a while. Most of you would know that I really don’t care about food that much, nor about desserts, but this was excellent. I’ve even considered going back just to get it. It was so good. Now that my co-worker flew back to Atlanta, I’ll have a little more time to chill, as well as doing whatever I want. He had lived here before, so he wanted to see certain people and do some specific things. Most of which involved his favorite restaurants. Hence the wide variety of Asian foods. It was a good experience to get to venture out a little bit. The Szechuan food was pretty hot, but not too bad. I probably did sweat some, but it didn’t ruin the rest of the meal.

I would have thought that I might have been able to get up pretty early like I did in England, but that hasn’t been the case. I’ve been sleeping late as I can, which really hasn’t been the best. But I guess that I have been going to bed pretty late, so sleeping is a good thing, and will be keeping me well.

I’m going to try and get up at a reasonable time in the morning and head out to the mall. I’d really like to hit up the sites again and try and take some pictures. I’ve been here before, with my parents, so it’s not too big of a deal. I called up James Glueck and we’ll probably get together sometime. I’m happy about that. He said that the local Aggie club watches the games at a local pub, so we might do that.

But, the thing that pisses me off the most for this particular post and time is the fact that I brought my external drive up here so that I would have some stuff to watch besides crappy TV (I had forgotten how bad TV is, in terms of good programming). I put the drive in my checked luggage, because I didn’t have room in my carry on. Now the drive is acting funny. Hopefully I haven’t destroyed yet another drive and enclosure. This would be quite another blow, since this drive is 300G. Let’s hope that it’s either just crappy USB 2.0, or that my laptop doesn’t really want to play nicely with it today, and that the firewire will work flawlessly when I get back home. I guess that it’s time to put that fibre channel array to use.

Yep, Amy, I’m quite a fan of West Wing. I have the 4th season on DVD and every episode through last seaon on the ol’ computer. I’ll try and catch the second episode of the season on Sunday, but having not seen the first one, I may just actually skip it. I would try and download it at the hotel, but I don’t think that they would approve. It may just have to wait until I get back to ATL.

I’ve also tried to take some pictures while here so far. Like I said I’m going to try and take some pictures on the mall tomorrow or Sunday. Hopefully I won’t get arrested or anything for taking a picture of something that I’m not supposed to. I’ll try and post some, or I may just wait ’til I get back, I dunno.
