Hitting Up All of Her Fave Tourist Traps

My sister and mother are visiting this weekend. They got in last night after a bit of a nightmarish plane ride (skipping the grisly details, basically it was delayed flight, missed connection, lost luggage). So we take them to a good Mexican place that’s walking distance from home and the little motel/inn they’re [...]

time change

I haaaaate spring forward. The whole missing out on sleep and then having to reset clocks is yucks! Actually I don’t necessarily change the time much, cos except for the cell phone and computer clocks, which update themselves, I have been known to leave the other clocks and just account for the hour [...]

Triskaidekaphobia

Somehow it strikes me as funny that today is Friday the 13th and tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. Actually Valentine’s is the 14th so this can’t be that uncommon, but I don’t remember noting it before, so it’s a new thought for me. :p
Although speaking of bad luck, the other day — and it wasn’t [...]

Groundhog Day

Does no one care about this holiday (it is a holiday, right?) anymore? Today, I checked a couple of newspapers, expecting some blurb on the front page, but I didn’t see anything. I finally went and searched google for it, and y’know what? The first news link for it was from a [...]

Succumbing to Peer Pressure

Okay okay, it’s really more like I was encouraged to get off my butt, but whatever! The point is, I’ve finally finished uploading photos from last year. What? No pat on back? :p
I think it’s pretty representative of what we did. Lessee, there was a big Christmas Eve dinner with the [...]

birthday party

Actually, this all happened in December. I am slow and disorganized like that. And I still have photos from December to upload. I only recently finished uploading photos from Yan and Steve’s wedding … in October!
PictoBrowser requires Adobe Flash Player, but you can also see the misa’s birthday photos at flickr.
var so = [...]

Desperation

My office has one of those water machines — yay! Sadly there are currently no cups — boo! Or yay, in a way — I mean, less plastic cups lying around is a good thing. I’ve been meaning to bring a mug to work, but I keep forgetting. But I get [...]

Anxiety Dreams

Have you ever had a dream where you’re being chased? Or maybe you’re naked somewhere where you should be clothed? Or how about you’re about to take a test and you have no idea for what class? Or maybe you have a presentation but you don’t know what for? Or your teeth [...]

December Happenings

Happy New Year! I think we celebrate New Year’s (and birthdays, incidentally) by drunk dialing/texting people. Lovely, no? :)
I meant to post more than I did in December, I really did, but work got so busy and then I went to visit the family in MD, and dude we stayed up late all [...]

Various and Sundry from SF

We went to the city today for dinner with Lingo at The Richmond, which is a rather nice and cozy and delicious place. Also, Lingo is a regular so the chef always comes out to say hello. Crazy eh?
Anyways, this is just to explain why we were on the BART playing [...]
