Today, the Universe decided that it hates people in my life. 1. Brandon tore his calf muscle As he changed the oil on his car on Friday, Brandon discovered some coolant leakage. Upon further inspection by the auto shop, there are more than just that. We think the Anniversary accident knocked things loose. So, this morning, instead of waking up to drive me to my stop, the Mister decided to sleep in a little. I left my car 5 blocks down at my bus stop. As he was walking over to the car, Brandon stepped off the curb and, according...

I’m no literacy scholar. Nor am I someone who’d go through 100 books a year. So when I say I hate a book, you don’t have to agree with me. I don’t expect you to. I have a policy when it comes to reading a book. Once I start, I must finish even if I don’t enjoy it all that much. You know, the whole finish what you’ve started thing. There have been occasions, however, when I just couldn’t go through with it. Sometimes it was because it was boring. Sorry, Dickens. The Great Expectation will be read someday…as soon...

Holy CRAP! It’s all ready been a week?! My god. Am I a bad blogger! But I promise to have something much more entertaining than my weekly food journal in a day or two. For now, on to Meatless Tuesday. * Breakfast: Open faced “grilled cheese” sandwich: one slice of 7-grain bread, buttered, topped with slices of one whole vine-ripen tomato, sprinkled with Nature’s Seasons seasoning blend, and a few slices of snack-sized cheddar cheese, toasted in the toaster oven until the cheese is melted. A mug of full-leaf oolong tea. Mid-morning snack: 2 whole grain crackers (they’re like 2.5...

Well crap. I’ve been so busy that this blog is slowly becoming all about my Meatless Tuesday. Sorry guys! Just to catch you up, last Wednesday was our 8th wedding anniversary. On our way to our tradition dinner at Benihana through the infamous SoCal rainstorm, we were rear-ended. As we crested over the 405 close to Fairview exit, we got out of the carpool lane to get to the 73. Suddenly in front of us, a black sedan was sideway on the #1 lane. Its visibly damaged trunk was partly in the carpool lane and the hood in #2 lane. ...

2009 in pictures * 2009 Awards Drinking Buddy of the Year: Brandon, actually. Surprise! The mister doesn’t usually party down, but he has taken up a beer here and there this past year, a stressful one for his work. So we had gone out for a beer together more than the year before. Cheers to you, honey bunny! Bar of the Year: Hennessey’s Tavern and Beachwood BBQ in Seal Beach. These two places never fail to deliver cold pints and some great eats. They’re our go-to places when we want to run away from the daily life for a little...

Well, this post started after I watched the latest episode of “Sood Sanaeha”, the Thai soap I’m following. Long story short, she finally sees what has been in front of her this whole time, and decides to nab the Chef. The Chef walks away after her big scheme to apologize to him. I was actually cheering for the Chef. Good for you for leaving that manipulative, selfish, whiny bitch! (Well, this is not the finale. Although to me, it’s a perfect ending right there! Karma is a bitch, bitch! But this is Thailand, expect a few more episodes of the...
