You know with the whole region on fire, I didn’t get to point out two biggest news in my universe. The casting is completed for the new reincarnation of Star Trek in the hands of J.J. Abrams. The Enterprise might as well renamed itself to the Dreamboat already. Chris Pine, the hunky aristocrat from Princess Diary II, is the new Kirk. Zachary Quinto aka Syler from Heroes is the new Spock, naturally. The hotty Rohan horseman of the Lord of the Rings Karl Urban is Dr. McCoy. And finally, a living proof that sense of humor is hot, cutie pie...

Funny how just on Friday, Pat O. and I were watching the helicopter sprinkling seeds over the bald area on the hills behind Griffith Park. And today, that same helicopter is probably out dumping water on the fire somewhere in Southern California. LA has really gone to hell in a fiery hand basket. Malibu’s on fire. Santa Clarita’s on fire. Ontario’s on fire. Lake Arrowhead and San Bernadino’s on fire. Irvine/Tustin’s on fire. San Diego’s on fire. (Olaina is reporting in here, here and here.) And bits of Santa Barbara is now on fire. LA Times is keeping an up...

Of course, and update from yesterday’s post. 🙂 The new big screen? Awesome. Brandon and Erik are still configuring the thing out with “Transformers” as our guide. The TV may be a cause for future marital spat. Brandon likes the smushed wide screen and hates the gray box on the side if you go regular TV aspect ratio, and I can’t stand the smushedness and therefore don’t mind the gray box. It all comes down to who has the control of the remote which is usually me. Muwahahhaah. The new living room configuration? It’s going to work out great. Now...

Our new-to-us HD is coming in tomorrow. Our new TV stand will actually get to serve its true purpose. (And Brandon is loving the new computer armoire.) Since the TV stand is coming in, we had to move the old Ikea black entertainment center out which Brandon and our neighbor Jerry did left it out for alley scavengers. The much loved TV finds a new home with 4 college girls in the rented house in our complex. Thus our living room has to be rearranged some more. At this moment it looks like Hurrican Katrina had just came by, so...

I survived the three days from hell. You know that monthly big meeting I have? Usually, it’s 3-woman team running the show. Last month, we lost Eva so it was a 2-woman team. This time, Celeste is off in Amsterdam/Germany, so guess who ran the show…on top of everything that needs to be done for the gala 2 weeks away? Me. I did it. With the help of my colleagues at work. Everyone pitched in. Everyone handed in his/her stuff as requested. People were doubling up duties left and right and at some point I just held the helm and...
