Another New Year

Well, I started off the New Year with a malfunctioning computer, an overpriced, awful meal and "Smack My Bitch Up" (Prodigy).  Not a very auspicious beginning, but I guess things can only get better.   For the better part of New Years Eve and then again on NY Day, I've tried about a hundred things to get my computer to work properly.  Hopefully the problem is solved.  For some reason, I can't get my system restore to function so I've reinstalled windows - so far, so good. 

I spent New Years Eve at Luce, the Italian restaurant at the Intercontinental Al Ain that I've sworn never to eat at again, but was convinced when most of my friends were spending the evening there.  I now remember very well why I had decided against the place.  For 200 dhs (about 60 USD), we got a "meal" that tasted like airplane food, frozen, then reheated, poor service, expensive drinks and, as previously stated, Smack my Bitch at midnight.  Never, never again.
