Another Reason to Blog

2008-07-22T23:45:20Z

A few months ago I started getting into my reader, adding a ton of subscriptions and making plans for less TV. Not too surprisingly I've almost entirely been ignoring the tech feeds (not great for work) and have been engrossed in many design, fas...

Yakuza Moon: A Memoir

2008-07-15T18:17:14Z

Giant Robot and Flavorpill highly recommended the book but I found it to be only mildly interesting. It was however a really easy read and I finished it within three days while on the stationary bike at the gym. Many of the chapters ran togethe...

Here's to finally winding down..

2008-07-14T04:09:31Z

It's been quite the week of celebrations. Initially I was kind of sad to be celebrating this birthday on the single wagon but so many friends came to the rescue that I didn't even reflect much on it. I really am so very lucky to have such wonde...

Last Wednesday Stef called with an offer that I couldn't refuse, purchase a ticket to Vegas and everything else would be covered for the 4th of July weekend. Her manager was flying there with a high roller friend and apparently two hotels were c...

"Life's breath like a sun against my head"

Long Weekend Behind

2008-07-01T18:46:19Z

After years of going to Vegas for birthdays, getaways, bachelorette parties and one very cold New Year's Eve, I know better than to come into work the very next day. It takes a full day to recover from the excessive drinking and lack of sleep. A...

week 2 roundup, hundredpushups

2008-06-27T14:24:53Z

I accidently overdid the day 1 of this week because I was starting off with the day 2 section. It is getting easier but of course that's because I'm not consistently doing double digits yet. Can't wait until I am! Day 1: 6,5,3,3,5 Day 2: 6,5,3,...

How hospitals make you feel stupid...

2008-06-27T03:23:56Z

Sarah wasn't feeling well this afternoon so I drove her St. Mary's hospital over by Golden Gate park. I dropped her off at the entrance and then parked the car in the garage. When I walked through the entrance I expected to find a directory but...
