My plan of going to the office on Saturday morning and hitting Homecoming at USC in the afternoon was brilliant. Take the Disneyland bus in all the way to Downtown. Take a Dash to campus. Party and see old friends for a while, then off to pick up the Disneyland bus home directly from 37th Street. Brilliant, right? Well, except for the fact that I got so much to do that I couldn’t even get out of the building in time to get home for almost the first half of the game, that plan was absolutely brilliant. Oh, and of...

It’s NOVEMBER!!!!! The Big Gala is now 5 days away!!!! My birthday is in 2 weeks!!!! And Thanksgiving a week after that!!?!?!?!?! Wow. Before I really panic, let me tell you about MY Christmas yesterday. Something to distract me from the stress of the Big Gala. Brandon’s office, despite what is going on with their boss, still had some Halloween spirit. Mine did too but it didn’t manifest as a costume party. I may be the only person dressed up full on in the office with a few who don the orange and black and putting on the “ears” I...

I would not recommend going to bed at half past midnight and waking up at quarter to five in the morning to anybody. It’s hell, kids. Pure hell.

Now I just pray that my coworkers bring me the rest of my props. Sonia is loaning me her son’s lightsaber and Nhien is bringing in her...

If you leave. Take my breath away. Living on a prayer. Take on me. The last four songs my Zen randomly picked before I got to my building this morning. At this rate, I started to feel awkward not having my leg warmers on and sort of expected to see the VERY young Tom Cruise in his tighty whitey, socks and shirt sliding past the door when my elevator opens. And yes. I really do have those songs in my MP3 collection....

I found a way to escape it all. USC lost to the Ducks today. (No doubt my brother’s wife and my dad, both U of Oregon alumni, are doing the happy dance for a change…after a few years of me rubbing it in.) Mark Sanchez did fabulous job. But in all seriousness, the Ducks were just way too much for our still gelling team. I don’t want to hear it. The weirdness of mentioning my mom’s death to new friends. Still makes me feel a bit hollow inside. And a long-ass work week, a prelude to an even longer 10...
