Blogger vs Wordpress

I might stick with blogger for the meantime for a couple of reasons:

1. I can update by using e-mail. Wordpress also had this option, but it had to be configured, and I didn't really have time to work on that. As Edgar so put, whatever helps me update more is the better choice.
2. I like the look better. The color scheme is a bit more vibrant, and while wordpress looked clean at the start, it looks less vibrant (advice taken from Kate's comment).
3. While there are anonymous posting on blogger, I do not get those random ass comments like from free casino online guy.
4. I thought wordpress would make the site load faster, since it is all based on one server, but the dynamic code that php does might put a bit of a load, as opposed to a blogger server which is used to large amounts of bandwidth.

Kate's bday weekend

Happy 20th bday! My girl is 20 now! Not a teen anymore, not yet a licensed alkie drinker =P So we get back on Friday night and go to Bluewater Grill for some nice fine dining. Weird how the valet didn't drive my car off after I got out, and that made me uneasy, but onward with dinner.

We waited about 5 minutes, admiring the clippings of the seasonal spiny lobster and the large fish that people caught. Off to the table, where we awed at the daily printed menus, the confusion we had picking the right fish for the meal, and taking probably the longest ever to decide what we wanted to eat.

We started off with some calamari, which I wasn't sure how much better it could get, but damn, it was nice and soft. Followed that up with some pan-fried oysters (wow -- so delicious), and some lobster bisque, which I'm glad I tried, and don't regret it, but I probably won't order it again (such an odd taste).

We each ordered fish platters: Kate got sea bass (which she couldn't remember why stuck out to her, to which I referred her to Dumb and Dumber, where the bully was named Sea Bass), and I got the swordfish, something I'd been meaning to try. The entrees were freakin delicious and neither of us finished it. Great, fun and romantic dinner with my Kate.

Saturday was just a loooong day, but it was well worth it to spend nearly all of it with Kate. She got her car radio installed (CD/MP3 booyah), and I picked up her and her mom from there to go to Elephant Bar for lunch. Again, stuffed ourselves (where the appetizer between the 6 of us would have satisfied me!), and off we were to hit the stores.

Off to Bloomingdale's, where I challenged that Juicy Catour is actually Jessica Tour (say it fast!). Also went to Kenneth Cole there (damned if I go to Victoria Secret's with my girlfriend and her mom!), and loved it. I love Kenneth Cole -- the jackets there are super duper awesome. I want to go there and put on jackets more often. After I get a good job, I'm getting a nice pinstripe suit, and a super nice soft leather Kenneth Cole Jacket. I felt like I got served there well, since I was wearing fairly nice clothes, and holding Kate's Bloomingdale's bag, as opposed to me shopping at J.Crew and feeling bad cuz I'm just wearing my Bozasm sweater. Yes, I know J.Crew isn't like KC, or Gucci, but if I feel bad there, imagine how I'd feel at other places...

Off to Westside Pavilion to shop at AE and Nordstrom, at which point me and Kate got exhausted. Finally off to Vons, which was closing down, for some 50% off everything sale (except alkie). Scored some good stuff and got a good deal.

Got a call and next thing I know, we're at Souplantation (that one word thing throws me off everytime) with Ate Wella and Mike. I'm glad we can get along on a dbl date situation with them so well. Makes me think I really need to set up that dbl date with Edgar/Jen. Ah so busy.

After that, Kate and I pick up Earl and head over to Rizzle Dizzle's just for some nice at-home mahjong action. A nice cool down after a long day out (of course, some cool partying woulda been awesome, but its Torrance -- not much I can imagine doing).

Lots of fun with Kate and saw her so much. It was awesome.

Random hilarious stuff

1. At work with Steve, Dave and Mike: Someone was making a joke referring to checking out hot guys in some movie, to which someone replied "yah I don't like checking out hot guys"

Steve replies, "unless it's me checking myself out in the mirror" (basically to that extent). The funny part was that I was stumbling my word to get that same line out. We both recapped how we started off in our minds with "mirror" then tried to forge a sentence quickly enough to respond, and laughed our asses off.

2. I was tired already after work yesterday, but since Kate was passing by for some CJ on her way down, Romes and I met up with her. I drank some soda to wash down some fries I ate, and I got all hyper. Driving back to 160, I got all hyper and started punching the air randomly and Romes cracked up and I found it hilarious.

::sigh::

Long post. Math review today, midterm on Wed, paper due on Wed, Midterm for 102 on Thurs. Got a full week and it's time to FOCUS.
