Feed the Cold

Noticed my Nyquil induced hallucination the other day? Well, the bug I tried to squash with the Nyquil did bloom through Tuesday into a nice little cold.  As a matter of fact, I’m blogging right now to wait for Nyquil to take a hold so I can go to bed. My boss was nice enough to let me work from home today.  The extra two hours of sleep and half hour lunch time nap definitely helped me get through the day. That, and a pot of Yogi Tea, Defense with Echinacea, I brewed and drank all day. Along with the...

Onward to 2009

Not resolution.  Goals. Back in my Taekwondo days, our master had us turn in our 10 goals for the year and recap what you’ve accomplished the year before.  Guess I’ll start that tradition here on the blog this year. 1. Explore Kung-fu.  I did like Taekwondo but as strange as this may sound I’m looking to do something more flow-y.  Dance-like.  Capoiera would be cool to explore too. 2. Drink more water: one glass in the morning and one before bed.  Ah, the yearly goal.  I tend to give up after trips to the bathroom in the middle of the...

2008 Awards

Drinking Buddy of the Year: Dave the New Guy Well, at this point, Dave is not new any more.  Since Celeste has left the company, Dave has stepped up to be the man to call on for a little happy hour action.  As a matter of fact, Dave led the pack to the fun night in West Hollywood a few months back with Nik, Erin and I in tow.  That was quite a night. Bar of the Year: Suede Bar, Downtown LA Oh, how have we survived the hard day of work before Suede?  Suede opens up in the Bonaventure...

Not your usual holiday

It’s a Christmas that doesn’t feel much like one. When I told Brandon I wasn’t going to put a Christmas tree up this year, he reached over to feel my forehead. “Are you okay?” he asked, feigning concern. Usually, my Christmas tree goes up the day after Thanksgiving.  Black Friday is spent putting up the tree and do online shopping.  Since we spent Thanksgiving in Thailand, and we didn’t even get back in the country until the 8th, I didn’ think it would be worth the time and energy to put up the tree for a mere 2 weeks. Unless...

Back to earth

Hey ya. I’m here. Sorry for the MIA.  You know, with jet lag and all, I’ve been going to bed at 8 p.m. all week and been playing catch up with work as well. We landed Monday night after quite a long journey.  The 7 hours spent putzing around Taipei airport during a layover could’ve sucked less if we would’ve found the Transit Hotel earlier.  Instead of napping on the benches in a quiet terminal, we could’ve been snuggled up in a comfy bed.  Oh well.  Next time, we know. Wednesday, I was at my board of investors’ holiday shindig...
