This project must be plowing through an ancient indian burial ground because even the easiest thing like duplicating a CD for it ends up crashing and burning. Oh and did I mention how much I love Acrobat 7? I love Acrobat 7 even more when it has CAD drawing crammed into a PDF.

I don't get Adobe these days. Well more like Acrobat these days. Here I am facing a major deadline for a project that requires a 6000 page document all compliled and linked in Acrobat and I can't even get Acrobat 7 to make 3 bookmarks in a row without it crashing. I mean what the fuck's with that? Then you look at the new version of Acrobat and Adobe is trying to make it do everything in the world. Hey how about making one stable version that can make friggin' bookmarks before taking on video conferencing.

New bike has been purchased. Ended up going with the Look 585 instead of the De Rosa. It's a bit painful to switch from DeRosa after riding them for almost 10 years now. It's a way more stylish bike plus hand built in Italy by a family of artisans with a strong connection to the sport. But the bargain on a pro-level Look frame in the store over a possible long wait on a mid range italian frame to be delivered was too much to pass over. It was like a struggle of head over heart and the head won. But as I've said, I'm due for a crash and when that happens the frame will be toast. At that point I'll flip all the parts to a DeRosa frame.

Probably be a 1999 Derosa Planet for sale early in 2007 if anyone needs a good used road bike.

Looks like I'm buying a new bike. So once again everyone should expect cheap X-mas presents. But you all should be used to that from me by now.

Fred Astaire, Paul Newman, and two Bonds see Monkey told you years ago I was sophisticated and debonair.

The MyHeritage face recognition tool is fun to play with. Thought for sure I'd get John Denver or MacGiver as the top match instead of Greg Brady. Their calculations probably could use a fine tune.

The lights I put on my commuting bike seem to make cars ignore me even more. So much for my attempt at bike safety.

For a guilty pleasure birthday present to myself, I bought the Flash Gordon cartoon DVD. Mainly because I remember it being one of the last Saturday morning cartoons where people got vaporized on screen - unlike the sanitized cartoons that started to appear in the 80s. Plus, for 1979, it was a little different from most saturday cartoons because it was set up more like an extended comicbook storyline. Of course, it has that classic bad Filmation animation quality which hasn't improved any over the years. And near the end, the series changes from a serial format to the standard He-Man/She-Ra formula story line complete with a cute sidekick addition. There's also the same voice talents of Skeletor, Orko, Hordak, She-Ra, Catra, and...well basically every character in Filmation productions because they only seemed to hire three voice actors to do everything.

Anyhow after watching it, there's still the main plot problem: If you're Flash and there's this hot woman who lives in a bikini, acts like a pole dancer, and happens to be the daughter of the ruler of the planet throwing herself at you, why would you want to hang out with the boring Dale Arden? For god sake have a randy time with the princess/hooker, then overthrow Ming from inside the castle, and set up your own evil dictatorship. If there's anything Julia Roberts has taught the world is that you always should go for the hooker with a heart of gold.

You know, it's really disappointing to find that your least favorite actor on one of your least favorite "comedies" shares your birthday. Thank god Nina DePonca - star of art house dramas like A Fistful of Bimbos, Older and Lesbian 3, Beefeaters, The Black Anal-ist, and Lust of Blackula - is there to balance out the day.

The blue trousers must be at the cleaners. The Blue Blur decided to show his sexy legs to the public by performing in blue shorts and a new dark blue shirt. Still backwards always backwards.

The peeps keep asking what I want. But kind of indifferent this year even though it's supposed to be one of those landmark type b-days. Things I need are things that are too pricey unless someone wants to order me new kitchen cabinets or blow $7000 on a new bike. Otherwise don't really care. Something cheap from the Dollarstore will be fine. I definitely don't need any more coffee mugs and I've just stocked up on bike socks so those are covered.

It's so easy to throw rocks at immovable targets...
