In honor of the Twitter Fail Whale and all things FAIL [I love that Fail Blog!], some folks in the Fail Whale Fan Club threw a party at Shine. There was a free photo booth, so of course I had to partake in that. Unfortunately, I didn’t take advantage of it as much as I [...]
In February of this year, I wrote the following:
July 2006 - Maternal Grandfather at age 96. He’s with grandmother now.
November 2006 - Paternal Grandmother at age 83.
February 2007 - Paternal Grandfather is in the ICU after a car accident right across from our house, at age 88. Critical condition. Decisions are being made.
Fuck. All in [...]
Questions: here!
Appetizer: Name 2 things you would like to accomplish in 2008.
I want to pass that awful CPA exam that I have been wanting to pass for the last couple of years. I’m horrible at this! I also want to get in shape. I’m not in bad shape, just would like to be HEALTHY. I’m [...]
I only like some of the lyrics, so I went and struck everything else out.
Baby Baby
When we first met, I never felt something so strong
You were like my lover and my best friend
All wrapped into one with a ribbon on it
And all of a sudden you went and left
I didn’t know how to follow
It’s [...]
Since it’s Christmas day and nothing was open, we did what we normally do on Christmas day - went to see a movie. Opted for Juno with its good ratings. Headed over to Emeryville to watch it since the sister’s former roommate lives out in that direction. Otherwise, I would’ve suggested seeing it at the [...]
The coming months will be a favorable time to work hard on improving your number one relationship: you know, the one between you and yourself. So I hope you’ll have a lot of long, deep, sympathetic conversations with yourself in 2008, even as you cut way back on the scattered, careless, unloving conversations. To get [...]
One evening, my sister and I ended up at Green Apple Books. And it was on this fateful evening that I picked up ~$60 in sale/used books. In dollars, it’s not a lot. However, when most are on sale or are used, that’s a lot of books. They were quite heavy! The most recent client [...]
Last night, I got together a group of girls for the night out. Several hours were spent at Bourbon & Branch, a 1920’s speakeasy. The drinks were tasty, and the atmosphere was perfect for relaxing and pushing aside troubles. It was worth the price, especially with such great company. Since we did not make reservations, [...]
My sister recently introduced me to this song: Almost Lover. I love her voice, and the lyrics - I can relate.
Almost Lover - A Fine Frenzy
Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind

You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick
Well, I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you’d [...]
It’s just one big circle. The things I complain about once will resurface and come back. It’s just a matter of time. The last time I whined about my feet was in July 2006. Pasted this from my YELP review of a shoe store.
1) Too big: difficult to shoe shop for. What ends up happening [...]
