The Hours, They Were Happy

I would just like to say that I was only there from 5 to before 6:20 or something cos I have class at 6:30, so after that, til 8 or so I was in class. So there:p

It was nice though, a couple of drinks after work:D

I also had dinner there — Portobello Al Balsamico [...]

Finding a Nintendog; Also, I Hate Walmart

Y’see, you can tell it was a long day cos it’s taken me three days just to post about it. And each post was rather substantial (in length if not in content:p).
Anyhows, the rest of the Long Long Long day was spent looking for that special combination of Nintendo DS (system) and Nintendogs (game). [...]

Kaiseki at Kaygetsu

misa and neb took us to Kaygetsu in Menlo Park for kaiseki, which is like Japanese prix fixe. I think misa or neb would be better able to describe, but I’ll do the best I can.

We got there first, so I had time to take pictures of the table setting:)

This is the saki zuke [...]

The Longest Day

Saturday (to me, it’s still today:p) has been a v. long day.
Today was Tyler’s birthday party. For him, we woke up earlier than we wanted to:p But still, it was actually pretty fun. Dooooood though, so many children! We ate tons of really good kalbi and chapchae (I think that’s what [...]

Sim Spammers

Everyday, in my work email account, I get a bunch of spam from people like Crump, Dolan, Freeman, Hedrick, Kyle, Pelletier, or Richey. Yes, evidently, I’m on a first name basis with these people. But I also get spam from people like Aaron McCullough, Adelheid Darden(!), Afua Ball(!), Alba Pittman, Alcoa Lambert, and [...]

My Hand Hurts

Gawd, it’s been a long time since I had to do a lot of writing.
I was taking some notes today and by the end, my hand hurt.
My handwriting started to get smaller and closer together and squigglier and generally crabbier as I went on.
This hurts more than when I’ve gamed too much and my mouse [...]

Better Whiner

Have you ever heard your computer beeping really loudly and insistently out of the blue? Oh my god it’s the most irritating thing imaginable.
Well it’s even worse when it’s a server (not a domain controller or anything like that, just a small standalone). Them server-making people evidently decided that if something is wrong [...]

Movie Watching

We saw Kung Fu Hustle today:) Soooo funny. A lot of fun to watch. Much better than Shaolin Soccer (starring and directed by the same guy, Stephen Chow) to me.
Lately we’ve been watching so many movies that Netflix (or similar) would finally be worth it. But the thing is, we’re not like [...]

Wikiwiki

We had lunch at Wikiwiki Hawaiian BBQ which just opened today. It replaced this rotisserie chicken place but the decor didn’t change much. I mean, they repainted and hung some cool Hawaiian stick figure theme lights but it didn’t do enough to alleviate the cafeteria feel of the space.
Anyhows, the menu has stuff [...]

Lingo’s Shoes

We have a lot of Lingo’s shoes around, just sitting there for years now. So Yut took a photo of them and Lingo is going to decide which one(s) he still wants. Now I have more shoes to post up! :)

Most of Lingo’s shoes are boring. I’m just not into sneakers, but clearly, [...]
