New Year 2005

Happy New Year’s Eve everyone! Or for those of you further east, Happy New Year! :)
Today we decided to do nothing. Well it wasn’t a conscious decision, but considering that we just got done with traveling, we didn’t want to do much. We watched tv (there’s a lot of marathons on… every [...]

I feel like I’ve blown the contents of my brain out my nose.

I dunno why I’ve been sick so much this year, but it’s getting tiring! I mean, my nose is so red and sore and dry. And I’ve had some nose bleeds. And I’m too tired to do much more in my Animal Crossing town than to get outta bed, water my red [...]

Jio Jio and The Other One

Yut and I went to play with the little nephew Ryan today (well yesterday, but I haven’t been to bed). He’s shy when he first sees you, but once he gets comfortable, he’s a funny, vocal, active guy. When he first saw us this trip, his mother said, “Who’s that? Who’s that Ryan?” [...]

Tech Support

Have y’all noticed how more tech stuff means more fixing required? Like exponentially more. And more complex and weirder. I don’t even know how this stuff happens:p
Currently, we’re trying to fix a problem with a DVD/CD burning combo drive that works intermittently and (built in) speakers that are always quiet and a [...]

Feeling Grinch-like

Did you ever procrastinate and procrastinate on gift shopping to the point where there’s NO WAY you can order anything online and so you have to actually go SHOPPING?! Gah!!!
Yeah, but the holidays and enforced gift giving for multiple people is v. stressful. I mean, I like giving gifts, and I like picking [...]

Facial

misa and Yan gave me a gift certificate for an Oxygen Facial from Novella Spa and Imports for my birthday a while back, and this Sunday, misa and I went to go try it out. It was v. nice and relaxing. A lot of super hot towels and stones and cooling exfoliating stuff [...]

Microsoft Word Dictionary

Looking at a document today, I saw the little red squiggly underline telling me that “program” was misspelled. Wha? I know how to spell program! But sheep that I am, I went to see what the suggested spelling was — “programme.” Double wha? Somehow it looks like I managed to [...]

Baby, It’s Cold Outside

I’m not the only one talking about it. I just watched the news, and they’re talking about how the Bay Area is like 10° cooler than normal (40°F instead of around 50°). And with wind chill, near freezing in some areas. Wind chill! Temperature near freezing! What the fuck is [...]

Holiday Party

Tomorrow’s our holiday party. Nothing cool like some other people’s Year End Party. Just some lunch and some ice breaker type games. My group got roped into helping with setup. But I guess I can’t complain. No work and free lunch:
On an unrelated note, doooood, it’s been cold here lately. [...]

A Few (Belated) Notes From Thanksgiving

I know it’s a bit late but I felt I had to mention this: besides eating a great deal and fixing/updating computers, we also played poker with the cousins. I won:D

Everytime we play, Mike spends a lot of time shaking his head cos “You bet what with those cards?!” I like to think [...]
