Glad it’s Friday, I Guess

This morning, I woke up, and for a second I really thought it was Saturday! I thought I’d set my alarm by mistake; I even started to think of what I wanted to do. Soooo disappointed. Hot chocolate for breakfast to make up for it! Actually this is the first time since Trader [...]

Ode to Trader Joe’s

Trader Joe’s is Evil. OMG, I don’t know how my sister goes to Trader Joe’s all the time. A new one just opened nearby and we went and you know what we bought? Chocolate covered cherries, chocolate covered blueberries, and chocolate covered espresso beans. And in fact, if memory serves me [...]

One Month Late, More or Less

Okay, okay, I know, I am really late! And it’s not cos I’m playing Flash games, cos I’m kind of sick of Flash. It’s not like I own lots of Apple junx or anything, but I am so sick of updating Adobe Flashplayer (and Acrobat) and I’m so sick of security warnings about [...]

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 [...]
