I have to wake up in about 5.5 hours. Finally, the sugar I have consumed while making and decorating my Devil’s Food Cake with Chocolate Rum Frosting has worn off. Oh, I made some marshmallow skulls and treasure chests…so I kinda had to eat the ones that didn’t look good. Heh. Talk Like A Pirate Day is tomorrow.

…of mom. Apparently, mom has been paying a visit to a few of us here and there. Last week, I woke up sobbing hysterically and freaked the hell out of Brandon. After a long crazy dream about me being a failure (..something about burning something on the stove top when all I had to do was reheating a frozen block of soup, someone came into the house with a pet meerkat, and everyone was looking at me as if I just came off the short bus for burning that fucking soup…), I somehow ended up in a mall with my...

USC Trojans football team. How I love thee! Oh, yeah, baby. I am soooooo back with the football season after having missed the opener two weeks ago. There was no college football on Thailand’s cable, by the way. Just, oh, I don’t know, 3 channels of soccer and one that seems to be alternating between ML baseball and rugby. I think once NFL starts up, you get a few games in there too.

You all know my obsession with getting into cardboard boxes. I think it’s time to share my passion with the world at large. Join me at my Flickr group, People in a Box, where we celebrate people of all ages, shapes, sizes and species (because some of us think our pets are people too) getting inside a really big box. I also added some random pictures I took around my house on my Flickr album as well, so go check that out too. Okeedokey? And here’s an interesting view of Downtown LA the other day. Please excuse my giant finger…...

The loss of my mother, although hurts like hell (as the whole emotional tsunami crashed in on me yesterday), doesn’t hold a candle up to the 9-11 and post-9-11 loss. So, one day of break from my emo phase to remember lives lost on this tragic day. And many more lives lost as the aftermath of that....
