Today a new sun rises for me; everything lives, everything is animated, everything seems to speak to me of my passion, everything invites me to cherish it.
- Anne de Lenclos
I have just finished “reading” a book called Oryx and Crake. And really, it was quite awful. I think, nay, I know the only reason I finished it at all is because it was the only thing keeping me awake at work. You see, I listen to books at work on my iPod Mini (baby [...]
Kirsten Dunst is, among other things, largely forgettable as an actress.
But she was once quoted as saying something that resonated with me and actually applies to my own life every so often.
What she said was this: “Boys frustrate me. I hate all their indirect messages; I hate game playing. Do you like me or [...]
Happy Thanksgiving, and all that jazz. I’m so sleepy right now. We had a big dinner at 3pm this afternoon, then went for a nice walk in the chilly fall air, then have been just bumming around, watching football and stuff.
But what are you thankful for this year? I’m thankful that I [...]
Are you thirsty, this gloriously hot, 85-degree, sunny So-Cal fall day?
Jones Soda Co. offers you pea-flavored soda.
And if green pea isn’t exactly what you’re after, try other flavors in the company’s “holiday pack.”
Turkey and gravy, dinner roll, sweet potato, or antacid, anyone?
Sorry, no curried chicken flavor this year.
A thought struck me today, as thoughts often do, and I thought I’d share it with all three of my readers.
What if I really am a CIA operative, but I don’t know it?
Two theories:
I was trained and etc, but then something happened and I was brainwashed by the enemy or suffered some traumatic injury that [...]
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.
I’ve been running into the reality of this saying a lot lately.
So really, be kind.
I realized today, during a lecture by Pastor Thomas from Sudan, that there will never ever be world peace. At least, not true world peace.
Because, if we had true world peace, well, Jesus wouldn’t need to come back, would he? Jesus, the bible, the whole concept of God would be irrelevant, a nice bonus to [...]
Ha ha, here are some flirting tips I read on a myspace post. I thought they were so dead-on that I just had to share them. Enjoy, and let me know if you think there are others I should add to the list.
Holding hands
Girls : If you want to hold his hand, gently [...]
And just like that…
it’s gone.
Okay, so while cleaning off my desk this morning, I found the actual handwritten list of alternative careers. So this is the master list.
Ambassador’s wife

Disc jockey – ha ha, no one calls them that, but I would start a new trend.
Dancer

Whew! I’m glad [...]
Actually, I should say “romantic song of the day.”
Check out “Kissing You” by Desr’ee (I think that’s how she spells it). It’s from the soundtrack of the movie “Romeo + Juliet.”
Yeah, I’ve pretty much been listening to it all day. I think I could even play it on the piano.
Recently, I was caught up in an affectionate hug with a guy when a kid shouted out, “Hey! Are you guys together?”
As if I’d suddenly caught on fire, hands and arms released me.
Damn.
If only we were.
Okay, okay, I know 12:20am isn’t exactly late for some people, but for me it might as well be 4am.
Ugh. I’m getting up in 5 hours. Why, why, why can’t I go to sleep?
*Sigh* No point in lying. I know why I’m still awake, daydreaming instead of dreaming.
You see, it’s all [...]
I went and saw the Leonardo DiCaprio/Mark Walberg/Matt Damon/Jack Nicholson/Martin Scorcese movie “The Departed” again this past weekend.
Yeah, again.
It was that good.
Linesmen, or to use their politically correct name – Assistant Referees, judge offside decisions correctly almost 95 per cent of the time.
Unsurprisingly, scientists at Vrije University in Amsterdam found that the linesmen were correct only when they kept up with play.
