It’s here. Brandon leaves for DC on Sunday. This will be the first time I sleep in OUR bed alone. It’ll only be a few days, But you betcha I’ll bring the katana into the bedroom and be barring my door with chairs. Well, you just don’t know when zombies would decide to have an uprising. I am usually a heavy sleeper but if I have a twinge of paranoia either from a bad dream or a scary movie I watched before bed, I’d be on pins and needles all night. I apologize in advance for my temporary insanity next...

The journey of this long weekend took me a lot of places I’ve never been before. Friday was a lot of driving and running around. The adventures at the Thai Consulate somehow resulted in these interesting shots… …and a trip to the Grove. I have never walked into the Grove that far…or during the day. Last and first time I was there, we were out drinking a night and didn’t venture deep into the place. Saturday was also a lot of driving and running around. The tea party in Sierra Madre for coworker Candice was a lot of fun. I...

#1 Cheech, my gay boyfriend, is in town from Oregon for a few days. He brought with him his new “boy toy”. And man, is he not joking about the “boy” part!

Well, before your proceed, you have to know a bit of the back story here. At my wedding, Cheech was quite taken by Brandon’s best friend, soon to be a doctor, former Marine amputee, Olaina’s then boyfriend now husband Justin. Cheech nicknamed...

This is an announcement from Brandon. So you’re settling in with the relationship with your Asian girl whose long flowing hair you adore. Be warned that with the sexy hair comes a demon that will haunt you for the rest of your days with your Asian woman. Behold, the Cousin Itt of the Carpet. (This specimen here came out of our Dyson vacuum cleaner.) Another one usually resides in the shower drain. 041507_1252a.jpg Originally uploaded by theoakmonster.

A coworker came over with this: “Can you help me open this thing up?” she asked. “It’s out of staples and I don’t know where it opens.” I picked up the thing. And… Um. Yeah. * Then Brandon sent me this picture with the title: “No, we can’t buy one of these for home.”...

We finally are having a real weekend over here! Totally making up for the madness that was the Auntie-filled Vegas weekend. First of all, the work gang didn’t get to Shabu Shabu at Little Tokyo as planned. Even arriving a good 15 minutes before the joint opens, we were already in the 2nd round of seating! Although, we did learn that if we were to take a late lunch at 1 p.m., our chance of actually getting to have shabu would be better than trying to arrive early. So we mozied over to T.O.T. Fantastic rice-and-noodle bowl place. Hip…yet so...
