A recent comment to one of my previous posts stated that "NYC is probably the rudest city on earth, I BET THATS WHY YOU LIKE IT THERE, MISTER BASTARD!" (Note: 6th grader all-caps and lack of apostrophe in "that's"). It is actually quite the contrary on both counts. According to MSNBC.com, New York City was named the most polite city in the world, in front of Moscow and London -- and that's one of the reasons I like it there. No mention of any Canadian cities, since frankly, no one cares about Canada!

I REALLY want to go back to New York. I can't stop thinking about this sandwich (on a bed of fries rather than chips). Its called the Shaffer and it is from Hello Deli, the deli featured on The Tonight Show with David Letterman.From their website:
SHAFFER – CUTLET, AM CHEESE, SWEET PEPPERS, LETTUCE, TOMATO, MAYO ON A HERO- $5.65
$6 for a filling meal in one of the most expensive cities? Add in a Coke and it is still less than the price of my usual McDonald's meal. Afterwards I could head up to Pommes Frites and get some of the best fries ever -- with dipping sides of ketchup and tartar sauce.

- It's 88F (31C) here today, and that is TOO HOT for me. I don't want to see any temperature beginning with a seven or higher. I DON'T have a pool, I HATE getting sunburned, and I don't like going to the annoying sandy hot beach! I'm sooo moving to Alaska (because Canada is too liberal!).
- I've added some neat things here. I've begun using Google Reader to browse my RSS feeds and there is a nifty sharing feature. If I "Star" my items, a.k.a. mark them as a favorite, I can share them via a RSS feed located here
. I've also added the gray box on the bottom of the right hand side of the screen that shows them when you visit this page.
- I've also added an add to Google link, which will allow you to add this blog to your Google home page or subscribe to it in Google Reader.
- Also, I had a "friend" that "said" he was going to buy an XBOX 360 this weekend. He did not. I left work early then I had to so I could meet him online to play. I grabbed a TV dinner so I could eat that quickly. He did not buy a 360 nor do I think he will anytime soon. He just proceeds to leave me hanging every time he says we are or can do something together. He will almost NEVER tell me that we aren't playing, he'll just leave me waiting. I understand if something important comes up, but he never bothers to even give me a shitty excuse. I guess it is Canada's way to not wear shoes in a house and to not worry about your friends that are waiting on you!
- I've added my photos to a new service being offered by Google - Picasa Web Albums. Currently it is only in a "test" stage and is only by invitation. I don't know if they're still handing them out or not, since I got mine very early. I personally enjoy the ease of use and eagerly await new updates to it. You can find my public album here.
- I'll also try to blog more interesting less-depressing news items such as: The Conde Nast building being ready for a disaster; New technology being tested on the NYC Subway system; and the first XBOX 360 dashboard update.
