Songwriter’s inspiration

Those who love music will appreciate this. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdxkVQy7QLM] ETA: Thanks Lilian for the comment.  This reminds me that my poor readers in Thailand cannot access YouTube.  (Long story.)  So, alternately, if you can hit Google video, try this one out....

Fame!

I’m gonna live forever. I’m gonna learn how to fly. Not only the song is my favorite to sing on Karaoke Revolution at the moment (aiming for the Diamond scoring on this one, baby!), but also a few seconds of my life! Veronica called me and said she saw me on KTLA Trafficast commercial. Remember that? I can catch the moon in my hand. Don’t you know who I am. Remember my name! Fame! If anybody catch that on YouTube or anywhere else, please let me know. I can’t find it anywhere on the web just yet. And the funny...

Flood gate

So I guess efficient sleep is the cure to writer’s block after all. 🙂 I happily woke up this morning with loads of things to tell you guys. Here goes the possibly longest blog in recent weeks. But here goes! Kicking Carl’s Angus Carl’s Junior is suing Jack in the Box over the “Angus…*giggle*” line of commercials. Here’s one. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIKizLGVtvA] As much as I LOVE Carl’s breakfast burger, I think I just have to boycott them. Take that Junior! Nobody screws with Jack!! Sushi Raucous I went to get sushi at Mamma’s Sushi with Aurora on Thursday night. My original...

Gallows Humor

Olaina recapped our adventure on Wednesday night very well. “Gallows humor,” she called it. I’m going to let you guys read the full story over there because Olaina is a wonderful writer. But essentially, with what Justin’s and my mom is going through, and us bopping about in the wake, we manage to make the most morbid and horrible things funny. Justin and Olaina started off about a two-fer for hospice care. Then we talked about cremation and Thai funeral rituals. Justin’s mom wants to be cremated and her ashes scattered. This is the part where I just now learned...

Happy Star Wars Day!

But for the life of me I couldn’t take a picture of my own head this morning with the camera phone. (Beth…now I understand.) ETA: Celeste helped me out. The geeks are lining up down the streets by the Convention Center already. I saw a bunch of Rebel Fighters, one of each of Stormtrooper and Jedi, and one really big Princess Leia. I mean, her costume and hair looked GREAT. But seriously, she looked like she ATE the Princess and stole her dress…well, make that dresses. But that’s the spirit of Star Wars. 🙂...

Did you feel that?

Around 11:15? A jolt? A 3.8, y’all. In Devore. My couch totally shook. I was watching my TIVO’ed LOST. (Oh and by the way, nice ending.) Did I mention that earthquakes totally unnerves me? Even a little one? So yeah. It’s almost midnight. I had excellent Indian food dinner with Justin and Olaina. And I’m totally unnerved right now. Dammit… ETA 05/24/07 – 8 a.m. : News story confirmed. I wasn’t crazy.  There WAS an earthquake!...
