Food and dining

Best Burgers

The local free weekly paper always has a contest for what the readers think are the best places in town for many different categories. This is when I realize that most of the people who live here have no taste at all for good food. What a bunch of schmucks.

This contest is more like a popularity contest than a real talent contest. Everyone knows the very best burgers in town for lunch or dinner are at Chilis. If you want a gourmet fast food burger, just drive over to the local Backyard Burgers stand. But these dumb fucks around here vote for McDonalds. Idiots.

Automobiles, TV and Movies

Muscle Cars Rule

Found a great car show on the cable channel Spike. I never saw an ad for this show and have never heard anyone talk about it, but I was clicking through the channels and Boom! Found the fucker!

The show has different segments, but the main thing about the episode that I watched is that a guy goes looking for old muscle cars from the 1970s and then he tears them down and rebuilds them into new, mean street machines.

There were other parts of the show that were interesting – lots of trivia and hands on demonstrations of how to restore car parts, like a caliper or a carburetor. Good stuff – I want to watch this show again.

Computers

Relieved

Well, after my last post where I told you guys about my computer, I did manage to talk to the people again. They had backed up all of my information and somehow didn’t fuck it up.

They had told me that all my files were probably gone. Now I really think they stole my hard drive.

I really wish I could report them to some authority somewhere for this shit. No use in crying over spilt milk, though. Just have to push ahead and do my thing. At least I’ll be getting my files back but it looks like the computer itself is toast.

Business, Computers, Rant

Never trust computer fixit stores.

Seriously, I took one of my laptops in to a PC repair shop up in Madison to be fixed and the fucking assholes either broke my hard drive (which was NOT broken) or switched it out for a broken one.

I am so pissed right now. WTF is that shit? And I can’t even do anything about it because when I dropped it off, I told the guy I wouldn’t be right back for it because I was going to be out of town. Well, he didn’t bother telling me they had a time limit when I dropped it off. So now he’s telling me the laptop is gone, my files are gone and its just too bad.
