This was supposed to be written yesterday for Friday Five.
But I was at work and too lazy too tired to do anything else at home.

So I give you these questions today.
After all, you know what they say,

“Better late than pregnant than never.”

1.) What was the last new song you discovered?

–“We all dream of Love,” by Paul Gilbert.
From the Space Ship One album.
One of the bazillion songs I am trying to learn.

2.) What was the last new dish you tasted?

–Since I live in Florida now, it’s customary for me to try these Alligator tails (Gator tails).
They are quite good.
Tastes like chicken and pork at the same time.
With a little hint of sourness in the end.
I guess it depends what the alligator ate before they murdered it.

3.) Where was the last place you visited for the first time?

–I wish I can say some exotic, far away place,
that would make you jealous with envy.
But what really comes to mind right now,
is the NorthEast wing of our building at work.
I haven’t been there before and I got lost trying to find my way back
and ended up in the fire escape stairwell.
(Hey, the sign said Exit, and that’s what I wanted to do.)

4.) Who was the last new person you met?

–A lot of people, actually. I just started a new job.
And everyone has been very nice, so far.

But I must say, that there is this one guy, a big guy.
Probably a sumo wrestler.
Whom I believe is one of the maintenance people in our building.
Always says “Hey Man, what’s up?” to me,
every time I go to the cafeteria soda pop machine, right by the payphones and restrooms.
He is starting to freak me out.
This wouldn’t really bother me, but he looks at me like I am his lunch or something.
He can probably smell the gator tails I have consumed.

5.) What was the last new toy you played with?

–A brand spanking new, out of the box,
Sun Solaris Server V40z. at work.

Up to four dual-core AMD Opteron processors
Up to 32 GB of registered DDR1/333 SDRAM or DDR1/400 SDRAM
System has 16 DIMM slots (four per processor); DDR1/333 or DDR1/400 ECC registered DIMMs (128-bit plus ECC databus).
Up to six hot-swap Ultra320 SCSI disks

Then I installed Windows Server 2003 on it, and played Solitaire!
Man did those cards ever fly!

I guess you should know by now,
I am a geek.
And a loser.

Hey, you think these Friday Five questions are easy?
Me and my Fellow Friday Fivers Team,
pull out our hairs just to be able to answer them.

And judging by looking at my exposed scalp,

I win!
