WD Live player

Beebee spent half hour trying to load a movie from an external hard drive onto our WD live media player. For some reason, this movie would not show up on the media player even though the file is in fact in the external hard drive and readable on the computer. So of course, with the spirit of finding out the root cause of the problem and not giving up... He spends half hour unplugging the power cord and reset the media player to factory setting, even deleted the file and transferred again to the hard drive... Everything you name it, he tried.

In the end, he wonders to himself out loud, "I wonder if this is a rmvb file because that wound be a fail".

Uh huh. Yes it was. He knew rmvbs don't work!! I guess he just forgot during that half hour period....

Prewash Clothes

Today, Chu eee did our laundry.  It finished rather quickly and she transferred the load to the dryer before starting another.  Only to realize she selected "prewash" instead of actual washing. 

Dryer, meet soapy clothes. 
Soapy clothes, meet dryer.

Transit Day Ticket fail

Today, Chu purchased a transit day pass for $9 dollars.  She paid for it and proceeded to head to Holt for some shopping.  One station later, she recall she did not pick up the day pass from the dispenser.

Chu walked back a few blocks only to confirm the pass was gone.  Visiting the transit office was useless since they weren't able to help.  $9 dollars down the drain :P

Clumsy iPhone day

Today, my beloved fiancée arranged for a meeting in downtown library to sell a retired iPhone 4. In the event of "no parking" because he didn't want to pay the meter, he managed to drag a family member to drive him downtown as he had forgotten Sundays are free parking. All is good up until the minute he drops the phone because he held the box by lid (the bottom fell) and phone screen is cracked.
There we have a buyer waiting to buy a good condition iPhone, he decides to switch a good iPhone (from a family member) for this sale and retain the cracked phone for family use. Of course, this second iPhone had to be reset for security purposes... who knew it would take so long that the library closed on them.
My true love and family finally got home 2 hours later. Either iPhone is to blame for being such cheap quality and slow manufacture reset or it's the user. The phone was sold for the original agreed price but Bee gave up 55% of the sale to the owner of the now cracked phone.

Sad times. Clumsy Bee.

Faux

Bee: "....blanket with faux micro-mink on one side and faux lambswool on the other side.... Oh~ this may be nice for winter!!"

Me: "but it's all fake mink and wool, blaah"

Bee: "oh that's what faux mean?"

Me: "......."

Point of Interest fail by beeeee

In Guild Wars, this bee led us to seek the remaining Point of Interest on an island somewhere, we spent 10 minutes turning in circles and I kept asking, what are we doing!

He then realized, he was on the WRONG island.

Gnocchi @ Mercato

We had a nice family dinner at a nice Italian restaurant last month for dad's birthday. 

We ordered a number of different entrées to share since their portions are notoriously large. One of the dishes we ordered was their famous gnocchi recipe and a few other pasta dishes. 

Our server brought a plate of regular spaghetti in tomato sauce to our table along with other dishes. I questioned in my head, that doesn't look like gnocchi... Oh  well, enjoy our dinner.

Beebee grabs some spaghetti and places it into his plate. He starts to eat bites of the pasta...

"Yummy, this gnocchi is good!"

"But.. that is just spaghetti! fettucini"

I guess we will buy regular fettucini for future gnocchi cravings Beebee has..

VIP Status

Beebee found a super good deal on Newegg.ca the other day for a SSD. We had been looking for a hard drive to replace my old one for the last few weeks. It turns out that this was such a good deal we just could not miss out.

Beebee told me to wait until he redeems some points for VIP member status then begin the purchase. I listened and waited.... The more I waited, the more I thought to myself... what is with the VIP member status? I looked it up on their website and Google'ed and Bing'ed. No matter how hard I searched for VIP status I could not find it.

I messaged Beebee on MSN and complained that I could not see the VIP status, why is it taking so long on our account details? He said, just log on and click on Account Details again... Okay.

I waited for another ten minutes.

"Beebee, I still can't find the confirmation of VIP status with Newegg."
"It's NCIX! geez"
"But the hard drive is on Newegg.... why are you on NCIX?"
...
"The hard drive is on Newegg? oops and I wasted 1 cent on PayPal and redeemed all the points."
