i went to Best Buy Computers in Chula Vista yesterday. that was quite an adventure. when i saw the map, and saw, the 5, L street, and Broadway, i did what probably most san diegan would do...which is head to downtown san diego. and by doing that, i saw some interesting sites of SD i had never seen before. when i got off the freeway around M L king drive, i saw a community of homeless people. just lined up on the street in tents like they were waiting for a parade, but with no float in sight. so i did find 1016 Broadway in down town san diego. but couldn't find the store. so i called them, and i told them where i was, and they told me to drive down broadway. so that's what i did, and i ended up in some kind of a drug dealing neighborhood. drug deals were busting out right in plain sight. i would think they would have invented more clever and less suspicious looking way to do it. but nope. it was just like in the movies. a car rolls up to the house, rolls down the window, and a teen ager in a white shirt and jeans walks up constantly looking around and over his shoulder. so about an hour and a half later (my back is absolutely killing me by now), i get some guidance from nguyen, and i finally get there. and as predicted, they didn't have the 250 or the 200 meg drive in stock. but they had 120 gig hard drive at pretty descent price. or so i thought. i found out today that compusa is also selling it...and for $5...and with a $40 rebate. totally missed out. anyway i bought 2.



so i spent the weekend installing it. my main computer now has 320 gigs total...200 gigs free. this should be enough for now. i have 24, smallville, newsradio, and select movies on demand now. plus a big playground for winmx, and bit torrent.



today, rick tsai decided to drop me a visit. we were going to eat at the cottage, and it was really packed when we got there. so we went to the broken yolk, and that was even more packed. so we decided to drop the whole brunch idea and went to the star of india at PB. there was a buffet lunch there. definitely not as good as the one in la jolla. after that, we went to tapioca express. met eric lai there. then we went to star bucks. then i spent the rest of the day managing files on my computer.



my back is still in bad shape. i'm going to see the chiropractor on monday. i'm gonna prep for it this time. preparation includes 600 mg of advil and at least an half an hour stretching. i hope they can fix it tomorrow.
