Yut and I went to play with the little nephew Ryan today (well yesterday, but I haven’t been to bed). He’s shy when he first sees you, but once he gets comfortable, he’s a funny, vocal, active guy. When he first saw us this trip, his mother said, “Who’s that? Who’s that Ryan?” [...]
Did you ever procrastinate and procrastinate on gift shopping to the point where there’s NO WAY you can order anything online and so you have to actually go SHOPPING?! Gah!!!
Yeah, but the holidays and enforced gift giving for multiple people is v. stressful. I mean, I like giving gifts, and I like picking [...]
misa and Yan gave me a gift certificate for an Oxygen Facial from Novella Spa and Imports for my birthday a while back, and this Sunday, misa and I went to go try it out. It was v. nice and relaxing. A lot of super hot towels and stones and cooling exfoliating stuff [...]
Looking at a document today, I saw the little red squiggly underline telling me that “program” was misspelled. Wha? I know how to spell program! But sheep that I am, I went to see what the suggested spelling was — “programme.” Double wha? Somehow it looks like I managed to [...]
I’m not the only one talking about it. I just watched the news, and they’re talking about how the Bay Area is like 10° cooler than normal (40°F instead of around 50°). And with wind chill, near freezing in some areas. Wind chill! Temperature near freezing! What the fuck is [...]
Tomorrow’s our holiday party. Nothing cool like some other people’s Year End Party. Just some lunch and some ice breaker type games. My group got roped into helping with setup. But I guess I can’t complain. No work and free lunch:
On an unrelated note, doooood, it’s been cold here lately. [...]
I know it’s a bit late but I felt I had to mention this: besides eating a great deal and fixing/updating computers, we also played poker with the cousins. I won:D
Everytime we play, Mike spends a lot of time shaking his head cos “You bet what with those cards?!” I like to think [...]
Last night we went out to dinner in the city. We went way early so that we could go look for Animal Crossing, since I’d been thwarted on Thursday. They were sold out at CompUSA but the Virgin Megastore had it. They didn’t have it on the shelves, but the nice employees [...]
I didn’t get Animal Crossing when it came out on Tuesday — I have a test today, so I thought I was being all responsible and good, but it didn’t turn out well:p I went to try and buy it today and EB Games was already sold out! Damn. There’s another EB [...]
This Thursday will be my last class of the semester, as well as the last test. I should study but somehow it’s been hard to concentrate. I can’t tell if it’s just that I’m losing steam or what. It’s been hard this past week or so.
Actually, I feel similarly about work. [...]
