She came over for our date early. I was calling the local TV stations to see if Bush was going to delay my TV shows. They told me they were going to delay Survivor by 30 minutes, but that Popstars and Tempatation Island were going to be shown at their scheduled time. I taped those shows and figured I could catch the Survivor recap on the net. Maybe something will be posted here sometime soon? I wish these stations would replay their shows later in the week. It's a good idea that some of the cable stations have already adopted.

Our first stop was the Auto Show. The Ford Thunderbird is all sold out for this year. But you can still pick up an Aston Martin if you've got the cash. The Mercedes wagon was cool, as was the Lexus 430, the convertible hardtop puts itself into the trunk in 25 seconds. We saw a really old Jaguar, too bad the new design only hints at the original design.

Next we went to an opening party for blu, a new restaurant in town. Free hors d'oeuvres and wine made it a fun time. It's right in the same complex at Sports Club/LA, still the best place in Boston to meet beautiful women.

Got home in time to see the end of Survivor from 8:45 to 9:00, but I don't understand why it wasn't delayed like the local CBS station told me it was going to be. I see from CNN that they bumped Bush. Oh well.

When I looked at my VCR, I saw that it taped the wrong channel. I'm bummed. My cable box supports three digits, like 007 for 7, but the VCR can only control two. Stupid VCR.

9:00 came and I sat down for a happy hour of Temptation Island. Now some of those girls are hot!
