On Friday I sped home from work and spruced myself up a bit before zipping down to Beverly’s. Our goal was to get to the Angeleno hotel to pick up UCLA parking tickets and get some food before attending King Lear at Royce Hall (UCLA). (If you click the link – the reception was actually […]
trippy
Saturday morning I arrived at Bob Hope Airport at 7:15 thanks to a very pretty (and very sleepy) chauffeur. After skipping through security I headed to the last gate at the end of terminal A. The flight would depart in about an hour. I spent the hour trying to figure out how to turn off […]
atsa spicy…chicken?
On Friday night Beverly joined me in the valley for dinner. We went to California Pizza Kitchen. We split a salad and a pizza (as is our custom). After I ate the pizza (the “Curry Chicken”) my lips swelled up. They swelled up so bad that when we returned to my place she insisted on […]
DisneyRock
On Sunday ATG had a company “fun day” at Disneyland Theme Park. I took Beverly with me. It worked out well as she was at her mother’s house in Irvine because of a conference in San Diego she was attending the next day. I picked her up around 9:30 and we were shortly on our […]
FTP’oed
On Thursday the day had come to get the server and storage put together. After eating a hearty Mexican (“salad”) meal Victor and I proceeded to my condo to begin the installation. After assembling all the parts Victor remembered there was one last piece he forgot to have me buy – the power cable converter […]
prune and juice
On Monday I hurried down to West Los Angeles with a growling stomach after work. Beverly works for a British organization, and I work for a company birthed in the San Fernando Valley, yet she had Columbus Day off (and I didn’t). To ease my pain she decided to cook me dinner. She cooked a […]
peace meal
For the past week my coworkers have been dropping like flies. Some sort of bug has nested in our little building. I started feeling funky last week – and still feel funky today. Even so, I wasn’t about to cancel on my dinner date with Beverly. I had promised her a home cooked meal – […]
boring bot
After Victor helped me retrieve some deleted data from my hard drives this morning (my external is still a total loss, though) we headed down to the Wired NextFest. We parked at the meters a few blocks away from the convention center – a trick I learned years ago that has never failed (to keep […]

time passes
On Sunday my parents and I went out for a gut-busting breakfast at Denny’s before I dropped them off at LAX. I guess they had an okay time, but I felt like a poor host. For almost half their visit they were sweating in near three-digit indoor heat. Saturday I managed to completely obliterate my […]
