Town Hall

Stacie took me to a restaurant called Town Hall. I must say that Boulevards is my favorite fancy restaurant, but if I ate at Town Hall one more time, I'd probably choose Town Hall as my new favorite. It wouldnt be fair to judge Town Hall as my favorite based on one sitting. The atmosphere is much more casual than Boulevards, but Im basing everything on the food quality. It was soooo good. I ordered the Beef Short Ribs and the meat just melted in my mouth. Stacie ordered the Ribeye steak. For appetizer we ordered stuffed calamari with sausage. And for dessert, we had the huckleberry and apple crumb cake with vanilla ice cream. Yum. Now Im motivated to create my favorite sf bay area restaurants on my site. Stay tuned.

Online Blockbuster Stinks!

I recently subscribed to online blockbuster dvd rentals and I must say that their service stinks.
Reason #1 - Bad Service. Within a time period of a week, I received a broken dvd, an incorrect dvd, and an unplayable dvd. Also, for some reason they are only shipping me 2 dvds when they are suppose to ship 3 dvds at a time.
Reason #2 - Bad Customer Service. They only compensated me a measly 1 free ecoupon for all my troubles. And 2 weeks later, I still have yet to receive it.
Reason #3 - Bad Site. Everytime I choose a different movie category it displays the SAME movies. Its slow and I always have to keep logging in. Their site is down right now as I write this.
Reason #4 - Small Inventory. I have about 50 dvds in my queue, and only 2 of them are available now.

My Advice: Pay the extra $3 a month and choose Netflix.

Lasik video

As promised, stacie created a short video of my lasik procedure.

20/15!!!

I survived lasik surgery and now I see 20/15 (that's better than 20/20)! I wasnt really scared until I actually got on the surgery table. Overall I spent 3 hours there, but the procedure itself was less than 15 minutes. I didnt feel the laser at all, but I did smell a burnt smell. I did also feel some pain and pressure when they opened up my cornea flap, but for only like 5 seconds.
After the procedure, I had to keep my eye closed for 4 hours, so I took a nap.
When I woke up, I couldnt open my eyes because my eyelids were glued shut from all the medicated eye drops. So for those asking if I saw perfectly after I opened my eyes, Id say no because, its still a little hazy. They said it will be a little hazy for a couple of months as my cornea heals. But I have no complaints. Every night before I go to bed, I always think I have to take off contacts since I've been doing it for so long. Stacie videotaped some of my lasik procedure experience. Hopefully, she has time to edit it and Ill post it up here.

LASIK Surgery

Im getting Wavefront LASIK with intralase tomorrow! Im not nervous, but more anxious to get it done. I decided to get the surgery because I didnt want to be fumbling around for my glasses when I have to wake every 2 hours to take care of the baby. Also, I didnt like wearing glasses or contacts. Im getting the surgery done at Pacific Vision Institute. See if you can find Stacie's pic on their website :)

Final Vacation

Stacie and I took our final vacation last week before the baby. We had lots of fun, so we might take just one more before the baby. We went to New York and did pretty much the same things as last time - eat, sleep, watch shows, shop, site seeing.

Ong-Bak!!!!!!!!

I just watched a sneak preview of "Ong-Bak" by Tony Jaa. The movie was AWESOME! This guy does some CRAZY stuff. At the end of the movie, HE WAS ACTUALLY THERE! He performed some stunts and martial arts for all of us on stage. And then he signed autographs. I gotta watch this movie again.

Firefox and Thunderbird

Sick of spyware? After cleaning at least 3 of my friend's and family's computers, I certainly am. After cleaning out their computers, I went ahead and installed Firefox for them. Firefox is a new and cool browser that will not infect you with spyware. Internet Explorer is a major culprit for spyware infections. They also came out with a new email client called Thunderbird.
