Busy

Ever since I got Brain Age, I’ve been playing a lot on the Nintendo DS. Even though Brain Age itself takes like 20 minutes (am totally guessing) only per day, I’ve picked up Animal Crossing again. And also, misa’s comment in which she mentioned Tetris made me think, “oh yeah, Tetris!” and so [...]

Dinner at Farallon

Yut’s brother is in town for a few days for some sort of conference so we went to the city to meet up with him for dinner at Farallon, which was walking distance from his hotel (San Francisco Marriott). The SF Marriott was fine, but surprisingly unswanky.

This is the main room, you can see [...]

I Have the Brain of a 78-Year-Old

I pre-ordered Brain Age at EBGames last week. They told me that it was scheduled to be available on Monday (yesterday) or Tuesday (today) but they’d call me when it was available. Of course, I went to check after work yesterday, even without the phone call. Just in case. Well, GOOD [...]

Bigs, Bugs, Okay I Get It

I came across this article today, Hey, It’s Bigs Bunny! with this accompanying photo. I dunno why everyone who comes across a large rabbit wants to call it “Bigs Bunny.” It’s been done! Sheesh. Luckily, they’re saved by the cuteness of the bunnies. He’s too cute for words! Actually, [...]

Spam

I checked my email yesterday and one of the subject lines jumped out at me: “Grow 3 Inches!” I was like wha? Who’s that from? Well it was a spammer! I was SO UPSET! How did some random spammer know that I wanted to grow a few inches? I [...]

Rain

You know how I spent a lot of time last year complaining about rain? Well this winter is like the rainiest one on record. Seems I spoke too soon:p It rained all day today for like the the 30somethingth day this year already.
This is Strawberry Creek (in Berkeley). Usually it’s low [...]

Happy birthday, BFJS

Today is my cousin’s birthday. I went to wish him a happy birthday and casually asked, so when were you born? (I’m horrible with dates and time in general.) It turns out he is like under half my age! His sister whose birthday already passed is even younger, although she doesn’t get [...]

Back on Track

For a while there, TV got bad. Project Runway ended, so did Full-Metal Alchemist, American Idol had so many contestants I couldn’t keep them all apart, Apprentice felt tired somehow, Amazing Race had a bad season with the lame family thing which even Phil couldn’t save and I haven’t been able to keep up [...]

Decaf 4 Life!

Tonight was the final for the NCAA basketball tournament. Unfortunately, the game sucked. Like seriously, Zzzzzzzzzz the whole way through. Final score was Florida 73, UCLA 57. So pathetic. Sadly, this tournament started out great, lots of close games, overtime, double overtime, upsets, etc, but by the final four, it [...]

discombobulation

I was supposed to go to an engagement party today at noon. We thought we’d set the alarm for like 10:30 and we’d be good to go in plenty of time, no prob. Well, ok, but not:p First, we forgot to turn the alarm ON, so setting it for 10:30 was useless. [...]
