My worst fear was confirmed. Mom’s metastatic lung cancer has reached her brain. 2 lesions and a possible tumor. It drives me CRAZY how they didn’t put her on chemo or radiation the first time around. Even worse, when they found the one in her liver, they dragged her on without putting her on chemo right away. From my research, I told my dad to make damn sure they scan her brain. They weren’t going to do it but the US doctor they’re working with made them do so yesterday. Not to put down the whole doctor profession of Thailand,...

At a loss. Of blood. 6 viles today at the USC Health Science campus donation center for City of Hope’s bone marrow match programs. Of tears. And for word. Do I even need to talk about it? On my 3rd shot of vodka. 1 more than it is okay for the normal Oak consumption, numbing the pain....

A very big day for me. First, the Rose Bowl’s here. And yes, I’m wearing my jersey over my business casual gitup. In an office full of Trojans, did you really think they’d send me home for wearing the jersey?? 🙂 Secondly, I’m leaving at 2:30 to go get my blood drawn for further testing as a potential bone marrow donor. And then heading home to watch the game. Yes. At home. Watching the game. Even if I get Rose Bowl tickets falling out of the sky, I’d still have to watch the game at home. Too superstitious to be...

Blog, oh blog. Hear my rant. Take my stress and make it better. My work’s new page is due to launch over the weekend. My work’s big event must be planned out so I can leave to my Thailand trip.

The move plan must be 80% in place before I leave at the end of this month. Shane’s website must be built before I...

Would I have liked “Narnia” better if I didn’t know it was supposed to be the story of Jesus? Probably yes. Now I wish Irena never told me about the Christianity behind the damn thing. This would’ve been such a great, fun, wonderful, family friendly, moral teaching, fantasy adventure. But I was sitting there, waiting for the lion to die for our sins and rise from the dead to save the day from the witch. I could REALLY do without that dying for our sins stuff. Let the damn kid die for his own goddamn sin. Really. What is the...

Oh yes, 2006 is welcomed by my coughs. A lot of it. As it turned out, the fever+tiredness+cough brand of cold from 2 weeks ago blossomed into a full blown head and chest cold on Wednesday. My body just gave up the fight altogether it seemed. I started sneezing and my nose got stuffy, and by the evening I was down with a fever. So I took Thursday off. Plenty of sleep and fluids didn’t do much as I continued to have fever through the night. So Friday I called in sick too. The nose started to clear and the...
