I don’t think I mentioned this to anyone, but at the tail end of May, some asshole stole my Visa number (somehow) and used it to buy a pair of $300 montblanc sunglasses online. The weird thing is that this account is the one I rarely use to buy anything – I really only use […]
count your blessings
If I wasn’t such a nice guy I wouldn’t mention that there is a Counting Crows show coming up soon and Livenation members can get the tickets (ordinarily $50 and up) for $10. The $10 deal is only available tomorrow. If I was a nice guy that was appreciated by a Counting Crows fan I […]
Man There In
Mandarin class last night was interesting. I ended up talking before the beginning of class with the only girl (can you call a woman in her 30s a girl still?) in it. As people filtered in it became obvious that every (young) guy in the class was taking it for their girlfriend (a few even […]
coincide
I happened upon a quote by W.H. Auden today that I had to read a few times. If equal affection cannot be, let the more loving one be me. I suppose that was my philosophy in the last year. It didn’t work out too well, but when I find someone who appreciates that part of […]
What can I do?
So it took me an incredible amount of time just staring at the blank screen to even put my fingers to the keyboard and begin typing. I don’t know where to begin or end this. I don’t want to not post anything for three months like in 2006 and leave everyone in the dark again. […]
learning new tricks
Tonight I’m beginning a two month (and possibly longer) series of classes to learn a new language. I’m travelling to Beverly Hills once a week to learn Mandarin so I can communicate with my girlfriend in the language of the nation of her birth. Although she speaks english well enough to convince anyone that she […]
holy missing blog batman
I got an IM from my father this morning stating that my blog had ceased to be. I checked for myself and it was true – all that anyone saw on my blog until roughly 12pm today was an empty white box. When I would try to log in to my account I was refused […]
Craig Bierko
Someone at work just told me I look just like this guy Craig Bierko. I’ve never heard of him – but if I look like a guy that turned down a role on Friends and slept with Meg Ryan I guess that isn’t too bad, right? Of course my dad always got mistaken for this […]
Sunday Goodbyes
Sunday was an open day with no real plans. My fever was subsiding as were my aches and pains but my stomach pains were sticking around. We ended up fulfilling my mother’s lifelong dream of eating at FatBurger. She had seen FatBurger on another visit and thought it was the funniest thing – and tucked […]
Saturday Sun
Saturday I rounded up some Nipa Hut before taking my parents and Beverly to the Griffith Park Observatory. At first it looked like we were going to have to park far away and walk up – but like a chapter out of The Secret, as we drove up to the tunnel the workers removed the […]
