Armargeddon Theater

Brandon and I went to see Jumper at the Los Cerritos Center on Sunday. (Yes, even after I spent the entire day before in the theater, I willingly went back.  Just don’t give me any popcorn.)  We dutifully sat through the previews. (Yey, Indiana Jones!) The movie finally begun. Just after Hayden Christiansen’s character trudged home soaking wet after his first “jump”, about 5 minutes in, the little lights through out the theater started to flash brightly. A voice came on to tell us that there is an emergency and everyone please calmly exit the building through the emergency exits...

Ordered stillness

The flu seems to have run its course.  The coughing is not bronchitis but the leftover from the ongoing sinus infection.  No, I am not entirely out of the woods yet.  That was my doctor’s opinion. She said to take it easy this weekend.  It’s okay to go to my movie marathon tomorrow as long as I stay warm.  LOL.  The best thing for me right now is rest. Sloth by prescription.  I can totally use some of that right now. Brandon took me to breakfast after the morning appointment and we picked up my antibiotics on the way home. ...

Ain’t dead yet

Just dropping a line to let y’all know I’m still alive.  The high fever continued through Monday.  Reduced to low grade for the past two days as I marched along to put on a Big Conference yesterday. I spent the night at the hotel on Tuesday and had 3 hours of sleep.  That was what I got for $200, a room on the 4th floor by the freeway.  The entire crew of Tokyo Drift must have been practicing outside my window all night.  Needless to say, right after the event, with the blessing of my boss, I went home and...

102.8

That was the temperature I woke up with at 4:45 a.m. this morning. Only once has it dipped below 100 but only for an hour if that.  I’ve been hovering around 101 all day with occasional 102s. Seriously man. Just shoot me....

Just shoot me

It’s beautiful outside.  So Cal is having a summer weekend again.  Brandon is out and about.  But here I am at home. I told you my boss has this coughing cold, right? Of course, I caught it. I was at the office until 9 p.m. last night with a cold in development.  I was staying late in hopes that I would get most of the prep work for the Wednesday conference done so I don’t have to go in today or on Monday.  I don’t really remember eating the giant cobb salad Brandon brought home for me.  I however remember...

Keeping the faith

So, someone wants to buy OakMonster.com from me. No. He did not send a legal or formal request. Just an email. I said no. Then he asked how much. I said no again. Then he tried to patronize me. Nice way to ask to ask someone to sell, bro. I would’ve given it some more thoughts. But man, I hate it when people are rude. I was the only OakMonster in town until someone went and coined the wine term. Or the term for the Oakmont golf course. And, of course, long before someone went and tried to make a...
