I had an eye exam last week. Nothing new, my eyes are terrible. I asked again about daily disposables; last year I tried every brand available at the time. None were a good fit on both eyes, and there haven’t been any new products out this year, CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?! :p [...]
I have to admit, everytime I’m being touristy, even remotely, I’m tempted to do the v-sign pose. Double, actually. But there are other choices! :) [via kottke]
It was the worst weekend of card playing ever. I was thinking of trying to use the quote from Dickens, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,” but dude, it wasn’t the best of times at all; I lost at cards to everyone! Not that I was [...]
There are two new tart frozen yogurt places in Berkeley — that I know of — for a total of five tart frozen yogurt places and at least seven frozen yogurt places total (tart and sweet alike). It’s madness! I’m not complaining, mind, but I’m just shocked that there is this much market [...]
I like sleeping. I mean, I know, we all need it, but let’s be honest, some of us like it a whole lot more than others. I love sleep and I’m a pretty bad night owl. (But consider the cultural prejudices that make me say, “bad” night owl! I didn’t even [...]
Thoughts on Pot vs Alcohol from a former Police Chief

Anybody out there want to launch a campaign for the [...]
I went to see the doctor yesterday to beg for relief from my cough which has been keeping me (and Yut) up at night; the over the counter Robitussin, honey and tea, Ricola, etcetc weren’t working. I was starting to feel like a zombie from the lack of sleep. Also Yut’s requests for [...]
When President Barack Obama made his picks, he said, “Now, for the Tar Heels who are watching, I picked you all last year — you let me down. This year, don’t embarrass me in front of the nation, all right? I’m counting on you. I still got those sneakers you guys gave me.”
The admonition worked; [...]
Michigan State won!!! NOBODY in this pool called Michigan State. In fact, a lot of people, including me, thought they were ranked too high or something and picked them to make a rather early (or at least earlier than their rank would indicate) exit. But nooooo, they made it, they upset Louisville [...]
Sorry guys for the lack of updating. YB came to visit this weekend, and we were out doing other things instead of paying attention to basketball. Actually, we talked about basketball a lot more than we do relatively, but it was a v. low absolute amount of basketball. Still, I heard enough [...]
