Tell me about it. I asked if he could do a dirty martini, and he said no, so I figured he just didn't have the olive juice. So I asked for a regular gin martini, and he starts to pour vodka into a glass! I say, no, GIN martini, and he makes me a gin and tonic. Hmph.

And my second vodka tonic was actually a gin and tonic. But since I also got handed a Diet Coke after asking for a cup of ice, I chalked it up to bad hearing.

Six Flags New England is near me, but whether or not I can go depends on whether or not it'll be a weekday. [Edit: to clarify, I work during the week, but I could go on the weekend.] I remember going to Canobie Lake when I was a kid. I thought it was pretty fun, but I don't remember details.

Funtown -- Saco, ME (Excalibur wooden coaster)

Ooooh. I've driven by there hundreds of times, but never actually gone on it.

I'll hopefully be able to join for at least a few, but I won't be able to figure out which ones until you've figured out which ones will be when.

My pictures are developed and will be online soon! Except for most of the Prom pictures because, although I thought I turned on the Flash I either really didn't or it the button had to be pushed each time.

Also I learned that disposable cameras and the cost of developing the pictures is too expensive. I need to get a digital camera and save money.

Yes, one of the mandatory Buffista technology acquisitions, apparently.

Let's see: Wireless laptop, Sidekick, Digicam, Cellphone. Is there anything I missing from the list? (I have none of those things, and now want all of them. Life Unfair to TechnoHaveNots!1!)

Well, you get more points for combining those into as few devices as possible.

I'd also recommend a TiVo and an iPod.

The Sidekick is also a cellphone, so you can combine two of them right there.

Hmmmm, I seem to have all the Buffista Gadgets.

I briefly considered getting a cell phone and ditching my home phone, but I really don't make/get enough calls to really justify the expense.

But I want the rest of it.

I have a friend who just did that ditching thing, askye. He hasn't come out and admitted it, but he's been pissed off with it.

You kinda get used to flawless reception when making calls from home, but something changed with his service about 2 months in, and now he doesn't even get that. I'd go nuts.

I have all the Buffista gadgets I want. No interest in a Sidekick.

Oh! Multi-region DVD player -- also useful.

Hmmmm, I seem to have all the Buffista Gadgets.

Dude, you are totally the prototype for "Hmm, I seem to be in contact with the Buffistas at any time of the day or night. Excelllllent."

I'd also recommend a TiVo and an iPod.

No TiVO available in Canadia, although there is a website dedicated to workarounds, I gather. There are DVRs but they aren't quite as cool as Steve-O. The iPod has been on the list for awhile too.
