Month: December 2008

nong nang and i took a trip out to thai town today. i’m not sure there is really enough thai places in thai town to actually constitute a town, maybe it should really be called “thai block”. our first stop was to grab something to eat at my favorite thai restaurant, sanamluang cafe. it’s got…

good news! after only 72 hours of near non stop playing of tap defense, breaking only to sleep and eat (i think i brushed my teeth) randy and i have completed tap defense. well, randy won the whole thing. i stopped playing once i won the easy level. now we can start doing productive things…

today is day 4 of my holiday break from work and i’ve yet to do anything truly productive. due to my work schedule and classes, i’ve nearly dropped off the face of the planet as far as my friends and family are concerned. i don’t answer my phone, my e-mails, or check the myriad of…

i want to say congratulations to my friends kat and yvette! kat has just announced that she is 13 weeks pregnant. i’m going to be an auntie! yeah! i swear i will try my best not to corrupt the kid. kat will hurt me if i do. yvette has just given birth to a baby…

let me make one thing clear (despite what john may say) – I AM NOT A GAMER. that being said, i’d like tell you about my latest addiction: Tap Defense. i have already wasted most of yesterday and today playing this game. Tap Defense is a strategy game. the game gives you only one location…

i get to celebrate christmas twice: once with randy’s family and again with mine. randy’s family has a tradition of opening up gifts at midnight (hey, technically it is Christmas). There are lots of snacks and a lot of hot chocolate. My favorite part is no longer getting gifts, but tearing open the gift wrap…

when i was a kid i used to watch kids incorporated and kidsongs. i just found this clip on youtube from KI. i don’t remember what the episode is about, but i used to love this song. i hope you like it too. the song is performed by stacy ferguson, a.k.a. “fergie”, from the black…

every year, there are things i do to get into the holiday spirit. i pick out a tree at the home depot tree lot and i get randy to take me to see christmas lights. the place we normally go to is near mile square park in fountain valley (click on the image in order…

randy’s cousin invited us out to Club Sushi. the place was going to have a soft opening, a private affair, and we would be on “the list.” The temptation of free food and the desire to always support family made me jump on the chance to go. Club Sushi is located in Hollywood near Sunset…

i spend a lot of time eating out because i don’t know how to cook. i don’t even know how to boil an egg. several people have attempted to tell me how this is done however the methods vary so much, i’m not sure which way is the best way. anyhow, since i eat out…
