Hiatus

Hiatus

Whew!  With this post, I hereby end my hiatus!

And, attempt to explain my absence.

Boy those were some busy weeks that passed.

I was so busy everything is still a blur as I try to review all that happened to post here.

First, I would like to thank everyone who's id I see in my visitor tracker, I appreciate the visit, specially the comments.

Ok, I'll attemp to answer the question many of you might be wondering.  Where was seeker during his unexplained absence?  Its not that I was gone for eons but for someone who used to blog regularly, that's a fair question.

Well, there was this and that and then this happened and then boom! another thing came and that was that!

Ok, I'll try to do it the way you can understand, but where do I start?  

Well, there was this wedding that I volunteered to videotape as a gift for the couple.  They asked a pro and his starting price was $500 so they just asked if I could do it and I agreed.  Granted my work couldn't be considered professional but I think it's not too shabby either.  Hey, you get what you pay for, right?

Then I got assigned as a project lead for this big project that compels me to travel.  I just arrived from Chicago last night and all I did for the day I was there was attend meetings and listen to presentations.  I'm not complaining but it seems like too much information to absorb in just a day. It's like reading a book, watching tv and playing a video game all at the same time.  Anyway, we ate dinner at this restaurant called the Wildfire and got a chance again to eat some fare that I wouldn't normally order, heck I wouldn't normally go to such classy joints.  I decided I would try the London Broiled Swordfish this time and ordered it without hesitation.  The reason being I scanned the prices and it's one of the cheapest dishes among fillet mignons and tenderloin tips, which my collegues ordered without flinching.  Well, my dinner didn't disappoint.  Worth every penny my company paid for :)

Oh yeah, almost forgot, another reason for this break from blogging was that our PC crashed on us.  The darn thing just died, the screen wouldn't even show a flicker.  So took it to CompUSA and had it checked.  The good news was the hard drive is still intact so we could still retrieve our data.  The bad news is that the motherboard is toast and they want to charge me $120 just to look at it.  They're not even sure if they can fix it, but they want to fleece me just for their nerds to gut my once trusty computer.  Bah!  What do they think of me, stupid?

To be continued....

I am glad you are back to blogging. I have missed your posts.

I had a friend take my wedding pictures and do the videotaping. It was way over our limit and even though it wasn't a professional I was still happy with the results. You can never complain for free.

Our computer crashed as well but B is very good with computers. He built the one we have from scratch. I don't know if you have a Fry's near you but they are really good priced on motherboards. Maybe you can check them before you let CompUsa do it.

Hey, they watch it once and put it away. It burns up 10 years from now when their house catches on fire while they are away on a 10 year anniversary trip to Colorado.....deja vu.
