An Explanation for the Previous

I don’t even remember what we were talking about, but I said something or other, and Yut called me a big nerd! To which I replied that I was not! (It was a v. mature conversation between two adults, I assure you.)
But he insisted that I was, anyone would agree! And I [...]

Making the Super Bowl Interesting

Oh this is just one of the funnest things I’ve read this week (and definitely the funnest article about the Super Bowl that I’ve read, although that’s not saying much):
Art museum director Super Bowl trash talk: It’s on.
The art directors of the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the New Orleans Museum of Art have a [...]

A Little Crazy Morning

I stayed home this morning from work cos I wasn’t feeling too well — nauseous headache amongst some other small things, not really too terrible, but I couldn’t face staring at bright monitors and having to be friendly to people. I’d taken my Excedrin and was lying in bed when I start hearing yelling. [...]

Giant Spider

There is a giant spider outside our door. It made its web between the banister and the ceiling and it is freaky! Super freaky!

To avoid this spider we are walking the other direction to the further stairs. He’s just catching bugs, not bothering anyone, but jeeeeezus… from top to bottom, legs to [...]

Picasa Name Tags

Last weekend, Yut helped me clean install Windows 7 on my computer. I started to reinstall all of my fave apps, but I got stuck at the Sims 3, so I didn’t get to Picasa 3.5 ’til yesterday. Doooood, it has this new name tag feature, which is kind of like the way [...]

Flu?

Yesterday I was tired and achy all day with a low grade fever (~99°F). Then, for the first time since… elementary school? or kindergarten? I threw up (from being sick, not from being drunk:p). All I was trying to do was cook some innocuous bok choy and I couldn’t.
I didn’t eat too much [...]

Behaving Like American Idiots

We went to see Green Day’s American Idiot musical at Berkeley Rep today — the Saturday matinee. Usually, since it’s a matinee, we’re somewhat surrounded by older gray haired types who sometimes fall asleep and snore or talk too loudly, being somewhat hard of hearing. But this time, there wasn’t quite the same [...]

The Dream

Yut showed me this yesterday. (Or was it the day before? Spending close to 24 hours in airports or otherwise traveling confuses my already poor sense of time.)

It’s Neil Gaiman’s library in his basement. OMG, are you not jealous?! Look at those tilted shelves for easier viewing! There are even [...]

Bible?

I was at the Other Change of Hobbit when a man walked in and asked if they carried the Bible. They don’t. He was kind of agitated, and became more so, in a way that intimated that he could not understand why the place wouldn’t carry the Bible. The Bible! At [...]

Batteries and Phobias and Stephen King

So this is the battery from my MacBook Pro. Unfortunately, the laptop is out of warranty and the battery wasn’t one of the recall batteries (although I thought it ought to have been, I mean, look at it!). I’m a Windows user for the most part so it was a lightly used machine, [...]
