So I ended up registering the new card.

Not without some frustration. Typed in all the info and got told it was an invalid card number. Went through that five times, each time typing it in more slowly and carefully, but to no avail.

So I had to throw in the towel and get Julian to come in and read the numbers to me. Then it worked. Phew!

So then I was able to update my payment info nd then the order went through. Huzzah!

It arrived today (ain’t modern life amazing?) and I immediately knew something was amiss because the box was way too small to have a full sized PC keyboard in it.

Opened it up to find a thin little keyboard suitable for letting you type as you are using your Smart TV or the like.

Now I knew that the item description mentioned using it with your Smart TV. It just never occurred to me that this meant it would be so dainty.

So technically I screwed up. But I don’t feel too bad about it. It’s just another clever way the universe has come up with to mess with me that I could never have seen coming.

Well that’s what experience is for, isn’t it?

So I’m returning it. Such petite keyboards are not compatible with my big ol’ gorilla hands. Luckily, I don’t have to repack and ship it back to them.

Some refugees from an 80’s sci fi action flick called Inteltech are going to drop by to pick it up and they will take care of the rest.

The money will be refunded eventually. In the meantime, I will order a different wireless keyboard.. and this time I will know what to watch out for!

More after the break.

I’m okey with the poke

Doing the Poke Okey thing tonight.

You put the brown rice in
Then you add some sprouts
Then put your sauces in
And you shake it all about

You do the Pokey Okey and
You stick it in your mouth

And that’s what it’s all about

A strange man’s idea of fun

I stick with Pokey Okey because I tried two other poke places and the ingredient quality was absolute crap compared to PO and that pretty much sealed the deal.

This despite my still being miffed at them for adding a whole bunch of awesome non-fishy proteins like ginger beef and marinated pork then taking them away again!

I guess they weren’t profitable. Dammit.

So now we’re back to the only two non-fishy protein options being chicken and avocado. And I don’t like avocado.

Chicken it is, then. Nothing wrong with that. I just prefer to have options.

Originally, I was going to get Chinese from Bamboo Expressbut they were closed.

Then I tried the Wing Kee, but I had forgotten how expensive they are now. Yikes.

So then it was poke time. It shares some DNA with Asian cuisine, and it’s always a bowl full of happiness.

Delicious, nutritious, and reasonably priced.

What more can you ask for?

I will talk to you nice people again tomorrow afternoon .
