i’ve never been the type of girl who likes shopping for clothes and make up. i never understood how women could spend so much time shopping, but today, i understood. there are three things in life that i find most painful to shop for: jeans (women, you know what i’m talking about), make up, and…

it has begun. i had heard some band was doing it, but i hadn’t seen it yet. it was inevitable really and i’m rather surprised it hadn’t happened soon. i am not that old, but old enough to remember that my parents had a reel-to-reel music player in our living room. this, of course, was…

tita lei and auntie baby spent the afternoon making… okay, i’m not sure what they were making, but i haven’t ever had anything bad that’s been cooked in banana leaves whether it’s the grilled sticky rice thing in thailand or the peanut butter rice tamale thingy tita lei made several years ago. i expect this…

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…

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…
