Alas, my dreams of a souvlaki sandwich with a bottle of Nichteri have been dashed like an overripe white watermelon or the dreams of domination by would-be Propaganda Ministry employees. I tried the temptation of doners and Raki after relaxing in the hararet but that also proved ineffective. I tried one last temptation of a calzone and Lacrima Christi after a wild ride on a moped down a long and winding road... but even that was met with a yawn.

It seems the game is afoot and no peace and relaxation will be allowed until matters have sufficiently progressed :-)

Like a dog with a bone.....

I am looking into a murder mystery complete with rice and chopsticks for the would-be detective.

OT

I have a story to tell you that you might enjoy.

I took a gal out to see a movie this afternoon. We went to see Swordfish. During the movie she turned to me and said that she thought that I should get the computer set up that was in the movie. When I ran this sentence through the female translator I found that it really meant that SHE wanted the set up.

I responded by saying that I thought she should buy a bottle of tequila as it might be good for her health. Her response was, "Nah, I don't like tequila."

I thought my comment went over her head.

She decided that she wanted to go see another movie so we went to see Tomb Raider.

I was then going to take her out to dinner. She said she didn't feel like it and wanted to go home. She told me to take her to the store and she was going to run in and get something.

When we came home she told me to check my email, etc. and she would fix something for dinner.

A little later she walked into the room with her hair in a single braid...stopwatch in hand.. decked out in a Laura Croft type outfit... with a bottle of tequila strapped to one leg and a shot glass with lime slices attached to the other leg. She walked over and gave me a shot of tequila mouth to mouth style, clicked the stopwatch, and said you have 60 seconds.... a la Swordfish.

I should have known that she understood my comment and was just playing dumb.

I will be looking for monitors tomorrow. <VBG>

Give me another idea for a movie as you seem to be the movie goer! Just make it one that will give me a good rate of return but not be so costly ;-)
