If You Can't Take the Heat

My laptop is too hot. It's not overheating, it's just very warm. I gather a laptops get that way, I guess I just haven't noticed this one ever being too hot to touch. I guess it's part of the heat in this part of the world, and that I have been using it a while.

The Starbucks I was in had issues with its wireless, and I couldn't post. Instead I went to another one a few hours later to post.

After writing that post, I walked down to Times Square, and made it in time to check out different musicals. Nothing was showing on Broadway on Monday, so I didn't bother checking much out, and proceeded to get another discounted (free) McDonalds. It's not healthy, but it's very cheap. And I'm not eating the burgers. I wish they had a deal like this for Taco Bell, I'm saving a fortune.

Heated wandering and a few hours later, I returned home, annoyed that The Daily Show was full, and looking for rest for my feet. New York is big. I didn't quite walk the length of Mido-suji, but I did a big walk, and I covered very little of the place. I tried finding the Nintendo store, but I was disappointed in finding nothing at the said address. Apparently it's further West, but hey. I'll look again tomorrow. Henny is photographing a premiere at the MOMA, and it'd be cool to hang around for that. He said he'd take some photographs of me while he was there, so I can get some nice shots of me in New York. Professional photographs. Excellent. I'll wash my hair. God... I should take my nice jacket, but it'll be scorching. I will be wearing the good jeans.

Since in England the month rolled over to August about five hours ago, my Flickr account allowed fresh photographs to be uploaded. I was very happy about that, and I filled my front page with new images. Good thing is, the upload counter isn't showing any uploads, so I might upload some of my less impressive pictures and I won't be charged in bandwidth! Or it could be an error and I could waste all of this months bandwidth on rubbish before my good photos come through.

For several hours, I uploaded and commented my photos, and I put up a lot of good ones. I have saved some bandwidth for later. In those hours Henny also worked on his laptop, with his headphones on. I felt very geeky when I used my DVD drive for a coaster on the sofa.

Tomorrow I will be going to New York again, attending the premiere, and looking for more musicals to go and see. You do feel central to the world, especially in popular culture and the cutting edge of the West.

On the day before Yukina left, we had a meal in San Jose. In this I had a very tasty dessert. I offered some to Yukina, and in offering I was overly gracious and very Eastern. She accepted in the proper way. Erin took a photo. This is the result, Douzo.

Douzo

We laughed so hard at that picture when we saw it. It summed up the entire time in California with Erin and Yukina. Just silly, and fun, and doing silly, funny things. This is one of the beautiful views I got from Big Sur, Pfieffer Beach.

Big Sur Beach

We all did dancing moves, and this is one of mine. In fact, it's the only one where there's a photo of it. I look rather cool, even though I'm totally posing.

Pose

The same night, just before the posing photo was taken, we had a perfect sunset over the Bay. We had a photo taken of it, and since Yukina's camera was pretty good, the photo came out really well. This was just one evening that we had a lot of fun. We took more photos inside, and I think that was a really good evening of my pink shirt. I remember it all well.

The View

Those are a few of my photos from this holiday. I will post more when I won't kill your pathetic computers with massive downloads for each image. GO AMD WOO!
