Mexico D.F.

Yes it is around that time again. We are in December. What does that mean? Dumb American Idol concerts. Why is it whenever people see someone like Clay Aiken or Kelly Clarkston on TV they immediately get all defensive about them and say stuff like "Dude, she really is a good singer." People seem to do the same for Christina Aguilera and Jessica Simpson. This time of year means people at work in their cubes listening to the same Christmas CD on repeat all day. I do not back that. It also means total disregard for Hanukkah. Last year they security guy in Building A kept placing the menorah the wrong way. Every time I told him to change it, he said that he was not allowed to and that Alicia told him it had to be that way.

I am going to Mexico City on Tuesday morning. It should be interesting. Can you get any more central Mexico than that? Myself and other are upgrading some computers there for work. I will be bringing with me several DVD's, a big USB drive and my Treo 600. I look forward to eating Mexican food and buying something there I do not need.

Some good acronyms: PGGT (Pint Glass Gin and Tonic), PAM (Potentially Awkward Moment), CBYD (Call Before You Dig)

I received a copy of the 2004 Boston Red Sox Media Guide the other day from Inappropriate Andy. It has a wealth of information on everything Red Sox. Data overload. It will either sit on my desk or go in the bathroom. It would also make a great holiday gift for an autistic child.I need to get a new gym bag. I currently have a Polo Sport bag I got sophomore year in High School. It is the type you get for free with a $40 or more purchase of any Polo Sport fragrance.

My biggest challenge this week has been trying to get my wallet, Treo, cell phone, iPod and jacket out of my car and upstairs when I get home from the gym. I take all those things out and leave them in the car before I enter The Leisure Centre.

I do not like Barry Bonds* at all. I think it is funny that him and Giambi testify for a Grand Jury because they are told they will have total immunity. Of course, somehow the SF Chronicle gets a copy of the Grand Jury testimony. How do Grand Jury testimonies get leaked?
