Yeah, I get the conflicted which is probably the whole idea of the show. Tho he isn't really all that endearing. I'm just kind of curious as to how or if they'll bring it to a close.

Speaking of shows, did anyone watch Whitney? I saw the TV ads, and asked "Why would anyone want to watch it?"

It's also an indication that it's not from SakeOne since SakeOne cannot ship to bowtie yet he received a golden ticket. So your wallet might stay intact.

in other news: the Red Sox just defied all odds possible to blow the AL Wild Card.

Two questions: Which game ended first?
If it was the Sox, do you think the Yankmees purposely blew their seven run lead to screw them over? I would doubt it, but how awesome would that be? They don't match up well with Tampa though, so I just don't see it.

Taking it one step further. It's sake, apparently American, can ship to NE, and more than likely on the west coast. So I'm going to assume it's Takara Sake.

And just to have some more fun, I'll guess it's a 3-pack sale of Shirakabe Gura Junmai Ginjo, Shirakabe Gura Tokubetsu Junmai, and Sho Chiku Bai Antique. I doubt the Antique will be in the deal though because of the price. I would put that 3-pack at $39.99 as a decent woot price.

I can neither confirm nor deny any of what is typed here. I would not dare to presume what Sake/(s) may or may not make up said grouping and to what price may be attributed to said groupings. All I know is what is coming to me, and that is scant little.




Course it could also be that I'm screwing with everyone because apparently there will be a Sake offering sooner than later, and for whatever reason everyone seems to think a Sake'd up bowtie is good times.


Not that I have ever been known to be devious.

Nor would I ask you to confirm/deny any of what I typed. I'm just amusing myself with trying to guess the sake offering. And now it's on the interwebs for everyone to see [how wrong I am].

Zero, but I use Windows. Really though, you shouldn't be getting any. what are the errors and does it spontaneously restart of just lock up and you have to do that to get it back. I think your MOBO might be slowly going. I would seriously, stop working, back up EVERYTHING important and then log it with your IT.

course it could just be a wonky update, but yeah, I get concerned about motherboards. We lose them with alacrity here. It's also incredibly dusty here though.

0. Either some piece of hardware is about to fail, some malicious software was installed, or a bad patch was installed.

It's not the equipment, it's the programs. The powers that be did a massive overhaul of our computer systems and programs a few months ago. It really needed to be done, but everything is still a mess. I've given up trying to be cheerful and friendly with the IT people.

Yeah, I kinda had the same questions, even after my friend at HP offered me a chance at the tablet this week. Would I actually use it? Even at $99 was still wavering. His order went through though, so I'll now get one eventually, and my boss has already said if I don't like it he'll take it.

Its ideal for just sitting around the living room surfing the net or watching stuff online. Except Hulu, HP doesn't interface with Hulu. I watch stuff from HBOGO on mine all the time though. The screen is awesome.

Have you tried shochu? I'm finding I like it a lot more than sake, though admittedly it's mostly part of some delicious cocktails. Maybe we can get some of that on w.w.

that's funny. There's probably 8-10 Sushi places in Omaha. Some surprisingly good. One has, what hte hell is it, super white tuna? Something like that. IT's not actually tuna, but god is it good. They claim to be the only place in the region with it outside of K.C.

I guess it's Escolar and eaten in large quantities can cause stomach cramps. That actually explains A LOT about that night.

I'd probably buy one if I could still find 'em at $99. The ipad, though...that's a major purchase for me...why do I want one of these things? Make it stop.
