Just like I am slowly switching my main usage of surfing the web from Safari to Flock, similarly I am switching from iChat to Adium X~ One thing that nothing can replace the function of iChat is its audio/video chat, but since I rarely use that at all, it doesn’t affect me much, and if I need to, i can always open it up again. But for now, Adium X is my default IM program, you gotta love that little ducky, making ducky noise everytime someone’s online, at …

I said I will follow up on the idea of cooking for myself more. Well, one of the topic from yesterday’s conversation with A3 was also cooking because he was about to cook himself dinner. That obviously gave me some more idea, so today I cooked the crab cake and salmon cake I bought from Whole Foods, combined them with rice and a can of mushroom cream soup (as sauce) and some fake crab meat, I got an awesome fun meal!!

Now this dream I had it is finally not fantasy/sci-fi-based, it’s more a reality wishful-thinking. In this dream I still live in a 2-room apartment, but my roommate isn’t there anymore, in his place is, surprise! B~ he’s either still avoiding me or I am still afraid to talk to him, there isn’t much contact, until when all of the sudden I have this award ceremony for my degree that I have to attend (which is weird since I had my degree like 3 years ago, but hey this …

I haven’t go see fireworks outdoor in the longest time, every year on Fourth of July I usually stayed in my Air-conditioned room have a cool drink in my hand and watch it from TV and the tiny dot from my window. Now that I live 2 blocks away from East River in Brooklyn, I can finally watch it live on the street without worrying about traveling or even a huge crowd in the city. Tonight’s weather was great too, not hot at all. It was amazing! …

After hanging out with friends, I wandered into Whole Foods in Union Sq. The store has been opened for a while, and I think I’ve been there once or twice, but never really look at what are they offering. Today well I REALLY look around and realize I could actually take advantage of this huge supermarket. There are things selling there that I couldn’t find in my local supermarkets, not to mention to cook freshly everyday sushi, and all other cooked food offering! And the dessert! Yum! …

Yesterday I went to the monthly dinner with the social group. This time is in California Pizza Kitchen. One of the cutie ordered a strawberry pina colada, which obviously immediately got my attention! Eventually after a few chit-chat, he let me had a taste, and then another, and the another. Damn that is sooo good, I am so ordering that if I go back there. Anyway, while my attention was on the pina colada, his attention was on my LOTR wristband. He was all geek …

After some usage of Flock, it’s time to criticize! It’s a very good browser, you can see all the goodies I described in my earlier post. It’s still in beta, so there will be a whole lot of improvement coming soon. So far, performance wise? page loading time is a bit behind Opera and even Camino. It is not a huge resource hog like Safari when you have a couple of tabs, but still, it’s pretty big and can get slow some times. Especially when in …
