Jim and I ate at Sakura last night and it was fantastic! I got my usual Spider Roll and two orders of Unagi, then what ever looked good off the sushi train. There was one that was very good and I shared a piece with Jim who also liked it very much. Turns out to be called Sex In The City. What a name! It was some vegetables thinly sliced and cream cheese rolled together then rolled in rice then sea weed wrap, then they dip it in tempura batter and quickly fry it. It was wonderful and I plan on getting it again next time.

They had some really unusual things on the sushi train this time. Some good, some not my liking.

Here are some pictures I found on the web of some of the stuff we like to eat. Next time I will take my camera and it will be more accurate! Click on any image to view it larger.

Jim loves these Nigirl-zushi (Mayonaise Shrimp)

We both like the Spider Roll

I love these Unagi, Jim doesn’t like the texture.

I was having trouble with my tummy after lunch so I was afraid I would be unable to go out with Jim to have sushi. Luckily everything mellowed out and I was able to go. I wasn’t going to push it though and have coffee after all that sushi, so we went to Jim’s place and watched a little HD television.

Beautiful day today. I ate breakfast out on the deck. Perfect temperature. I mopped all the floors and did laundry. Shannon’s outside mowing the front and back lawns. I’m getting kind of hungry and hope we go somewhere for lunch. Looking for all those sushi pictures didn’t help matters.

After lunch it’s up on the roof to take the xmas lights down and store them in the basement.

I am happy with my “YOU on a diet” program. I am not hungry and eating yummy foods and loosing weight gradually along with my waist size coming down. Today I weigh 201 pounds and my waist is 39″ all that from my original start weight of 213 pounds and a waist of 42″. I need to start up the exercise portion of the diet. I have been putting it off. That will increase the progress and help my outlook.

I’m going to have Sushi tonight with Jim at Sakura! I love that place and glad we will be able to catch up on stuff. They have a train that goes in a long oval around a bar with the chefs inside preparing the food. You just take what you want from the train as it goes by. Very fun!

Jim and I plan on coffee afterwards and hopefully the weather will provide a nice relaxing evening so we can people watch and talk. I plan on having a tea of some sort. Coffee makes my tum tum not so happy anymore.

I finally got my new glasses (a second time) back. I only had them for about a week and then went in to see what was up with the blurry vision. Apparently I messed up the eye exam (which made the doctor rather mad) and he had to re-test me and then send the glasses off to get re-made (free of charge)… ooops! I have to learn and tell the doctor that the chart is blurry or sharp. If they want me to “guess” the letters; then I will and I will be accurate even though they are VERY blurry. Since I work with type all day long for the past 14 years I kind of know what possibilities the shape could be and narrow it down and get it right. The doctor thought I was seeing just fine, nice a clear, sharp… when I was seeing blurry letters and guessing the correct letter. He was mad. So now I say they are blurry but I can tell you what letter I think it is. He thought I had memorized his chart to get them correct and see them so blurry.

So the new prescription is just fine. Now I just have to get use to the bifocal part. It can be a little topsy turvy feeling if I turn my head just right while looking at something through the bifocal part.

Well, another geek post is ahead! I found this extremely cool MP3 player and just had to put it up on my blog!

I’ve been looking for a cool Flash MP3 player for a year or so. This one by WimpyPlayer.com is really adjustable. It has tons of skins that make the same player look totally different.

I’ve set it up so that the player launches in a new browser window. That way you can serf the net and keep the music going. The only draw back I’ve found is that the mp3’s that I have on there are VERY big and tend to slow down the browsing speed till the track playing has fully loaded. Each track is at least an hours worth of continuous music and they are freely distributed… so I ain’t breaking no laws.

My favorite track at the moment is DJ Van - Perception. It has some really cool songs in it. Makes me want to go out and dance. Which I haven’t gone out dancing in about four years. I never liked the music selection here in Kansas City much. It’s a shame the music on the net is better than the music in the Kansas City bars. That is my own opinion of course.

For those of you that like Dance House Techno Trance Tribal music…. enjoy. As I come across something that I really like, I’ll put it up on the players track list.

Okay, for some reason when I posted earlier today everyone got an email without the link to the blog in it. So I am testing the whole process.

If it ain’t one thing, it’s another! Geesh!

Okay I finally took pictures of the new setup of my two Macs. Here are the pictures, click on any to see it larger.

Here is the original “old” Mac in the corner.

I got my new glasses today. I have updated my little photo over on the right side bar. I will have to adjust slightly to the bifocals but not much. So far I love them!

I’ve also lost some more weight. I weighed myself this morning after eating breakfast and I was at 206 pounds. So that is a good sign. My waist is also a little bit smaller than it was. I was needing some good feedback on the weight stuff.

I’m still having a slight problem with the new computer. I changed my password keychain and it started up the problem of an annoying message asking for a password (for which I do not have). If I click cancel everything is fine. I will pop up in another hour or so and I have to click cancel again. I’m working on finding the answer.

I’m also going to post a review of Vista with Parallels versus Boot Camp in a few days or so.
