Fasika Ethiopian Restaurant (Jun 11 2004 02:58 GMT) - Man, I've been eating out a lot lately. Last night Tricia and I went out with one of her coworkers to Fasika, an Ethiopian Restaurant just off of Snelling and University. There is a new Ethiopian place that recently opened on Lake and Minnehaha that I wanted to try, but Jodi's husband Dano is from Ethiopia and he wasn't all that impressed, saying that Fasika is much better. Of course, one of his childhood friends owns Fasika, but that's ok. I don't think I had ever had Ethiopian food before so it was nice to just follow Dano and Jodi. |

Message: LG 6000 - data cable and software (Jun 11 2004 02:58 GMT) - I just purchased the 6000. I understand the only way to transfer photos to my home computer is to email them, and that can get expensive. Also, I would like to be able to transfer phonebook entries from MS Outlook so I don't have to enter them by hand. Lastly, I wouldn't mind being able to use my phone as a cellular modem. The kit including data cable and software is $69. |
