Hi there. I haven’t been home in the evening since Monday. And the trend is not stopping. Sorry for the pauses in posting. Monday night I was at Face2Face: Elton John and Billy Joel concert. I treated James, my fellow piano man, to this as his belated birthday and early Christmas presents. We enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Billy Joel rocked my socks off and Elton John wowed me silly. I got a few horrible cell phone video clips I’ll post later. Yesterday, our former colleague Erin returned to the office to temp for a week while she’s on break from school. ...

Just got back from seeing Watchmen with Brandon and Lee. Lee, who is a big fan of the graphic novel, gave it a 4 out of 5. She said if we liked this, we definitely have to get the book, which we intend to do just that. Wow. What a revelation! It was stylized just enough. Violent in all the necessary places. I might need to talk to somebody about my mental state because Rorschach is definitely my hero now. Trailers were also massively awesome. Possibly the best line up of trailers: Wolverine, Star Trek, Terminator, and, for some of...

Long Beach Tweet Up group led by @DaNanner (aka Annette), with the help of @LBMatt outdid ourselves today with the photo walkabout at the Port of Long Beach. Well, Matt got us interested with the Port’s photo contest. And then as the Tweet Up started to take shape, he got his boss involved. And here we were this morning at the Port Authority building, getting access to the rooftop and driven down winding and confusing roads around the port in the POLB vans to take great photos. Of course, the AWESOME group of people we hung out with for two...

Work is crazy busy, yo. However, I picked up few things that is worth posting. ** My mom called me in my dream. She asked how I was doing. Funny, I really wished I could talk to her just a few days ago. Brandon asked if she told me to hurry up and talk because phone calls from heaven are expensive. LOL. ** There are a few of the elevators for our floors that act funny quite a bit. A few of us were on the elevator already when it picked up one more person. Once she got in, the...

This weekend has been one of the longer ones I had in a while. Don’t get me wrong, I still had just 2 days like everyone else, but it felt like a week. I guess when you helped others, pampered yourself, and did things you love, it was just as rewarding as a weekend away on a vacation. It’s hard to belief that I voluntarily rolled out of bed at 6 a.m. on Saturday morning, but I did. I was up to bake chocolate croissants to take over to my friend Greg’s garage sale fundraiser for his very first AIDS...

All of us survived the Oscars Marathon. Olaina and I actually stayed for all five. There was a good 45 minutes break between Ben Button and Slumdog Millionaire. We all had a wonderful time. I still like Slumdog Millionaire best. An FB friend raised a question of Slumdog being overrated and that there are better screenplays out there that should win. I agree with him on that. Lord knows how the Academy votes this year. Are they looking at the craftsmanship? That case, Benjamin Button should take the cake for the epic scale. Screenplay and directing? Perhaps Frost/Nixon should win...
