Went to see Paul F Tompkins last night. I knew that they were taping it for a Comedy Central special, but I didn't realize how much of a pain that would create. We got there about 9:40, 20 minutes before the show was scheduled to start, and they didn't open the doors until 10:15 (last time we went to a show at this place, they opened the doors about 10 minutes before show time), which wouldn't be that bad, but there isn't a place to wait. Instead, we were packed into a narrow hallway (which also is the hallway to the bathrooms for the restaurant that the club is attached to), and I guess they didn't have the air conditioning on because it would have made too much noise because it was hot as hell in there. Normally, if you pay for VIP tickets, they have tables, but because of the taping, instead of the tables, you just got seated in one of the first two rows. We didn't even sit in a spot that was comparable to where the table would have been, but were put at the very end of the second row. Both of us were behind people that were 3-4 inches taller than us. I don't even think the guys in front of us had paid for VIP tickets, but two seats were empty, and they happened to stumble in drunk as hell, 30 minutes after the show was scheduled to start (and after everyone else was seated, so it wasn't that they'd been waiting to get in that whole time), so somebody just told them to sit there. They talked through the entire show, even though it was being taped and they were in the front row. Twice, Paul F Tompkins went off his routine to pretty much tell them to shut the hell up. Ordinarily, the place holds 74 people. There were at least 125 there, and, again, no air conditioning so it was like a furnace in there. Normally, there's a 2-drink minimum, and I wasn't even wanting alcohol. I'd had about 3 1/2 glasses of wine earlier, but my stomach wasn't feeling great by the time we got in for the show, so I was just going to drink water. But, because of the taping, they were not allowing any drinks of any kind in the show. So, by the end of it, I was burning up and dehydrated. I have to add that Paul F Tompkins was very funny, and did a really good job of not loosing his cool despite some obvious major distractions, but I was in such a bad mood because of the other stuff that it was really hard to enjoy the show. Such a bummer! At least I can say it was one of those nights that really makes you appreciate being able to just get home, sit on the couch, and pet the dogs before falling into bed.

sorry for the less-than-great evening. you would think if they were trying to tape it for CC, they would go to extra lengths to make sure people WERE enjoying it to make it better for the comedian.
Yeah, pretty sure the seagates ae known for that, like a lot of others. If you can figure out how to get it out of its enclosure, you can probably mount it internally or in another external enclosure and be good to go.
Thanks for idea. I was just going to send it back and get a new one because it is still under warranty but I might as well try to save everything first.
This afternoon, I was able to borrow a SATA external drive enclosure from a friend and mount my 750 Gig drive removed from my MY Book drive enclosure. It appears to be working just fine so far. So now I've got back over 200 Gigs of music, video, and other good stuff I probably spent months accumulating over the last couple of years. (YAY!)
Grrr for being a girl and having feelings and emotions and all that stuff. I wish I could emotionally seperate myself like some people are able to do.
And another grrr for trying to be good and go running this weekend, only to end up with blisters all over my feet. Now I can't even wear regular shoes, much less attempt to run again anytime soon.

Tell him you are not going out on it again unless he washes it down with bleach because you heard they both had herpes simplex one and two, along with a good case of genital warts, and you are worried about the seats if they were on them in a bathing suit.

my girlfriend does not kick dogs...i’m sorry you are not controlling your dog and it is going at mine making her yelp and cry, and Amy pushes your dog away with her foot so she doesn’t get her hand bit. that is not a kick....it's my dog, Amy was just helping me out and taking her to the park...she's just lucky I wasn’t there to tell her off. And seriously I left all gossip and talking behind peoples backs...especially when they can hear...back in high school the people who were doing the talking, are definitely going to get a piece of my mind tonight.
grrr Brett Favre....I fell in love with the Packers because of you. I like Aaron Rogers, but dammit man, you could have and should have retired as a Green Bay legend, not with our arch enemies. Grrrr!!

So, my mom lives at the end of my road and sometimes she comes over to my house and makes me breakfast (including some of the best omelets I've ever tasted!). Today was one of those days. I love her and she's one of the best cooks in the world, so I really appreciate that she's willing to do stuff like this for me. However, while she was here this morning, she went through my dresser and closets, re-folding and re-organizing my clothes. Trust me when I say that everything in my wardrobe is usually meticulously washed, ironed and folded (by me, that is). And all of my stuff is pretty much organized to my liking (again, by me). She even washed many dishes that she didn't even use to cook with. Which is weird because I'm somewhat of a clean-freak and, as per my request, she usually leaves the dishes for me to do after she leaves . Again, I really appreciate her coming over to make me breakfast and spend time with me, but I can't help but feel rather annoyed and even a little insulted by today's visit. What the hell?

Grrr to bad drivers and rude people...Okay just because the roads are wet doesn't mean that you can't exceed 25mph...especially when the speed limit is 50!
And rude people...I know you've been waiting 10 minutes for a table...I told you it would be 25...but 10 is long enough to notice that nobody has left yet, meaning I have no open tables; just be patient and your time will come
