Yummy!
We just made our reservations for dinner at The Old San Francisco tonight. I love that place. Big blocks of cheese at your table, yummy steaks, and a girl on a swing. Good times.

Poor Bella
My poor Belly Girl (as I like to call Isabella AKA Bella, our cat) had to go to the vet today for a check-up and she got three different shots. She was pissy as soon as we got home, took a giant dump in front of the door, and now hasn't moved for hours. I think the shots made her feel really bad. Poor kitty. :-(

Wonderful Friday
It's been such a great day, I just have to share some of the things that have made me happy:
- I reached UPS and they are delivering the Logitech Cordless iTouch Keyboard with Cordless Mouse I won last month to me at work on Monday (it's been stuck in transit due to some weird happenings)
- I won God Shaped Hole from Robyn's GiveAway Page
- I have beautiful red roses sitting next to my monitor
- I can't wait to go on my spa day courtesy of Steven
- I won $25 in a poker tournament tonight
- We're going to Chinese Cafe (the one on Bellaire) and watching My Big Fat Greek Wedding later tonight
- My tax return was finally accepted after making a mistake in the electronic signature the first time (Oops!) so I should get my refund soon
- And last but not least, I got tons of people wishing me happy Valentine's Day and making me a happy Fishgirl

Kymberlie, that's the one that i always go to (the one in Bellaire)... you HAVE to try the bubble tea place that is right next door (Suzhi's Teahouse)... you'll love it!
Posted by Kathy at February 14, 2003 07:42 PM
happy valentines day, darlin'! :)
I have the non-cordless version of that keyboard, and its way cool!! :) I had to download a newer driver from the logitech site so that it worked with winamp 3, but now that it does, I like being able to control the settings right from my keys. But the best thing is that it has a scrolly wheel on the left side. I can use one hand for a scroll wheel and the other with my pen tablet!!! :)

Oh, I LOVED that movie. It's a quality flick, especially for being low budget and having a non-celebrity as the main character. Enjoy! :)

Sounds like our guys have similar gift tastes! We went out for Chinese, rented Sweet Home Alabama, gave me roses, and a day at the spa!!

What a Gift!
I just got back from lunch with my wonderful boyfriend. He gave me my Valentine's Day gift and he certainly was right about me liking it! He gave me a "Get Away Day" package from Derma Technique Day Spa.
They didn't put on the gift certificate what all is included, but it's definitely got a manicure, pedicure, massage, and facial. It takes like five hours to do the whole thing, so I will take a day off from work (probably a Friday) and pamper myself silly! My birthday's in about a month, so that might be a perfect time to do that.
He did so good on this gift. I am a lucky, lucky girl. :-)

Just Stuff
My Valentine's Day started a little early with roses tonight from Steven, the sweetie. He says I'm going to love my gift, so I can't wait for tomorrow.
I watched the first episode of Survivor: Amazon tonight. I've watched a few episodes of the one that had the cute Texan guy on it, but that's about it. I must say I was really impressed with the show tonight and have set a season pass. The immunity challenge in particular had me in a state of disbelief. How do you blow a three minute lead like that (left vague on purpose so as not to spoil anything)?
Movable Type 2.6 is now out, but I think I'll wait a few days to upgrade since another release always follows right away. :-)
In other news, Kristine has moved her awesome MT Plugin Directory to new digs. It looks awesome and is bound to be as helpful as ever.
I'm glad it's almost Friday. Tomorrow night is yummy Chinese food at Chinese Cafe. I've been trying to get there for a month and other things just keep getting in the way, but tomorrow it's come hell or high water.
Happy almost Friday and Valentine's Day, everyone!

Girl's Night Out
I got a phone call today from Jeanna and the first words out of her mouth were, "I need alcohol. Let's go out tonight instead of tomorrow."
I was having what was shaping up to be a shitty day (side note: there is nothing better than having a day that looks like it's going to end in death and bloodshed actually turn out great) so I readily agreed.
We ended up just wandering around the mall for a while and then going to dinner at Red Lobster but, as always, I had the greatest time hanging out with her. We laughed, we called people jack monkeys, we sang along to old ballads, we discussed books, and just talked about whatever random thing happened across our minds.
Isn't it wonderful to have a best friend?

Yeah, I know what you mean. My best friend of over ten years and I had a bad blowout 2 years ago and I tell you, I miss her alot. I miss just hanging out, shopping, eating out (esp. the sushi bar). I've tried to mend the friendship but she'll have none of it. I miss her. Cherish your best friend. :)

Reasons For Love #18
Every Wednesday those who are involved in a relationship with somebody share a few (simple but significant) reasons for their love. Please keep in mind that this does not have to be a romantic relationship. It can be about a parent, a sibling, a friend, a co-worker, your kid, your dog, whatever.
Stop in here to join the notify list, see who else has left their reasons, and to be added to the blogroll. Also, feel free to save the button below to your server and link it to http://www.neuroticfishbowl.com/reasons.html
I love Steven because...
- When I asked him what he wanted to do for Valentine's Day he said, "Whatever you want to do, honey." :-)
- He's going with me to lunch twice this week even though he's super busy
- He's been extremely sympathic about a issue that's been bugging me for the last few days
- After a particularly stressful day yesterday he rubbed my neck and shoulders
- He offered to split Bella's insurance costs with me (Yes, I'm insuring the cat. Call me crazy.)
- He takes care of me and the kitty and the fish

Decision Made
We went to Cingular (my cellular provider) to see what deals they might have going on since they're in the same parking lot of the gym anyway.
They didn't have any of the cool phones that I mentioned before. They have some kind of a new network coming online this year and they should have all those types of phones later. I wasn't going to get anything, but they made me an offer I couldn't refuse.
Basically, I signed another year contract at my current plan and got a Motorola 120T (mine is a pretty silver and blue with the little Cingular guy on it, not that ugly black) for free that I can use as a trade in when the new phones come in.
It's not the phone that I want, but I can trade up for one later and not have to change my phone number. Plus, I still get a Valentine's Day gift. ;-)

Man, Amazon is charging more for that Samsung then I paid for mine, and mine is the next model higher up! I wonder what's up with that?
Great news on the new phone though! I know your old one was driving you mad when the battery would die randomly on you!

Messenger Pop-Ups
Lately I have been inundated with pop-up windows sent through the built in messenger service in Windows. I get more and more pissed every time I see one, so I did a quick Google search which returned an article that shows, in a few simple steps, how to disable them. I offer it here to help you rid the world of evil messenger pop-ups: Block Webpopup Spam Advertisements aka Messenger Spam.

Decisions, Decisions
The boyfriend just offered to buy me one of those really expensive phones (like this one for example) that I have been drooling over for a while as a Valentine's Day gift.
Now, I don't really *need* one of those phones. I could use that money to pay off some bills instead. But what fun is that? Be responsible or get a cool phone. Be responsible or get a cool phone. Decisions, decisions.
Update: okay, the link really does go to a phone now. Go see what I'm talking about.

EverQuest Problem Solved
I finally figured out what to do to enter my pre-paid game card on EverQuest.
When you get the two options for payment subscriptions, you have to pick one of those and then pick "Use game card" out of the checkboxes. I thought game card was its own category. Doh! At least the problem is solved.

EverQuest Help
Oh, yes, I forgot to mention that this weekend I attempted to play EverQuest for the first time since approximately Christmas.
Not surprisingly, my account (paid via three month game card) has expired. When I went to enter in the game card number, I couldn't find the option to pay via card. The only things I could find were to pay by the monthly service.
Anyone know how to enter a pre-paid card? I'm stumped.

I got everquest platinum, the collection of eight, but it wont play.
It goes through the check updates process, but then when I press 'play' an error message pops up saying that it could not find the "d3d9.dll" file.
I've reinstalled and repair-installed but still the error.
What happened, is there an online correction or am I just screwed?

Blog Free Weekend
For whatever reason, I just didn't feel much like blogging this weekend.
Friday night was a night of drunken revelry with my sweetiepie followed up with lots of TiVo watching. Nothing too exciting, but I was a happy chica and that's what really counts.
Saturday was spent mostly playing Zeus, Master of Olympus and a few poker tournaments (I placed in all of them, I believe). We had some friends come over so there was more drinking, dinner at a Mexican restaurant, homemade "Serious" Vanilla Ice Cream, Panic Room on DVD, more TiVo watching, and more Zeus playing.
Big surprise, but today was pretty much the same thing over again. Sometimes it's just good to not worry about anything and just play video games. Know what I mean?
