Finally. A two-day ordeal of my birthday celebration has come to a close. And boy has it been FUN!! Friday was my company’s Thanksgiving potluck and birthday party for November people. We are getting better at not bringing too much food, but still have a whole bunch of leftover in the end. Needless to say, after the turkey and fixings, ham, 4 different salads, massive amount of dessert and ice cream later, that afternoon was pretty much in a blissful food coma haze. That evening right after work, Brandon came up to town and we headed over to the Library...

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. But I had to stay up. I MUST finish my Jedi costume! Pretty much I freestyled the tabbard and the obi part because like an idiot I threw out the patterns for those pieces. They don’t look very spectacular but they will serve their purpose. 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...

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...

You know with the whole region on fire, I didn’t get to point out two biggest news in my universe. The casting is completed for the new reincarnation of Star Trek in the hands of J.J. Abrams. The Enterprise might as well renamed itself to the Dreamboat already. Chris Pine, the hunky aristocrat from Princess Diary II, is the new Kirk. Zachary Quinto aka Syler from Heroes is the new Spock, naturally. The hotty Rohan horseman of the Lord of the Rings Karl Urban is Dr. McCoy. And finally, a living proof that sense of humor is hot, cutie pie...
