NO NOT buy movie tickets at Fandango.com.

The only reason I did was because I wanted to get Hannah Montana 3-D movie tickets for my girlfriend and her daughter.

I bought the tickets, and got a confirmation number and a web page to print. However, I was not able to print at home due to not having a printer. So, I go to log into the stupid fandango website to reprint my confirmation. Well, for some reason my email address is invalid.

I had to go through the account creation twice and it still didn't save.

My card was charged, but I can't print out my confirmation. I sent a stern email to their support people, but this will just lead to me being more unsatisfied with Fandango.com.

Oh, and on the confirmation page, it says that you must present the confirmation page, along with the actual card used to purchase the tickets. Now, I'm not going to this movie, and the theater is an hour and a half away. So what the hell are we supposed to do?

Again, I'm sorry for not posting more often.

For the last few weeks I've been complaining about not having enough to do at work. But all of a sudden this week has been pretty crazy.

I haven't forgotten about the sites in Amarillo.

Just bear with me, and I'll find some time soon to blog about them.

Hey everyone. I'm sorry for not posting all last week. I've been trying to fly under the radar at work. I will give a review on Amarillo's sites, but now I have more pressing issues to post about.

I am looking at buying a house.

I went and looked at it on Saturday. The listed price is quite a bit lower than it's assessed price. With that, it makes the appraised value at $120k to $130k. Purchasing the home at the listed price of $99.9k i would still be going in with $20k of equity.

I am waiting to hear from my mortgage guy, and my real estate agent today, to see what else they could find out about the house.

I am very excited, nervous, and a little scared, but there are far more pros than cons.

Amarillo, TX has some of the best food I've eaten in my short 26 year history.

If you ever find yourself in Amarillo, be sure to stop by Dyer's BBQ. They truly do have the best rib's I've ever had. Steve, the guy that took me all over, would drown his in some tangy sauce. I decided to try them without the sauce first, and I am so glad I did. The meat would fall off the bone and had so much flavor that I didn't want to change it at all. I did try a bite with the sauce on it, and it was good, but without is definitely better in my opinion.

The first night we were there we went to Ruby Tequila's. Wow, I like Mexican food, but again, Amarillo had some of the best I've Eaten. We actually went there twice. Another must visit eatery in Amarillo.

The final place in my review, isn't a place that's only known to Amarillo. But I've never been to a place like this, and the atmosphere is worth talking about. Kabuki Steak House, is another experience all it's own. Some of the reviews in the link will be able to describe it better than I can. Here is a link to one in Florida, and it's pretty much the same thing. kabukisteakhouse.com

Check out the links and my next review will be on the sites I saw, and the old cook behind them all.

Hey everyone.

Sorry for not blogging. I've been kind of busy the last few days, and when I get back to the hotel room, I don't really want to play on the puter.

But I will be writing my own review on Amarillo, TX.

I have had some very good food though. Including but not limited to BBQ.

Well, I made it.

It only took 12 hours of travel time. It should have been less, but before we left Minneapolis, some guy on the plane got super sick and asked to be let off the plane. So they brought the little terminal thing back to the plane and let him off. Shortly after that a fire truck and and an ambulance came and took him away. Because of that our plane was an our lat to Huston. We get into Houston at 11:05 and out connecting flight to Amarillo left at 11:00. So then we had to sit there till the next flight at 2:30.

I'm going to be working like a dog on this weekend, and getting a ton of overtime for next paycheck. Whoohoo!!

It's time to get back to work, but I should be able to blog in the evenings at the hotel.

Oh, and the pool is closed until Sunday, the day I leave.

Good morning everyone. I hope you all had a fun New Year celebration.

I found out yesterday that I will be going to Amarillo, TX.

This big client of ours has an office down there and they are moving to a new location, and they need someone to hook up their PCs and printers. Sounds like a cake week to me.

I'm leaving on Monday and will be coming back on Sunday. Hopefully I will get a change to blog out of state.
