This morning at the Los Angeles Convention Center, in the South Hall, the gigantic banner announces, “Erotica LA”. Yes. The p*rn convention is back. But people were coming OUT of the building, not going in. Odd. But then I saw more people crossing the streets, heading for the West Hall. A big crowd had gathered in the courtyard outside the West Hall. The electronic sign in the corner blinked: “Welcome New Citizens. US Naturalization Ceremony. West Hall.” God bless America. * On the other hand, yesterday on Kevin & Bean morning show on KROQ, my beloved Psycho Mike spoofed “Hey...

I came home today, plopped on the floor in front of Brandon and cried a little. There is such thing as doing too much even when you made up an excuse in your head to dive in head first and do everything in your power to keep busy and therefore keep your mind off of other things. There is just so much work right now. I usually enjoy the challenge but with my state of mind and time ticking down to the trip, I am just overwhelmed. I don’t feel like I had enough time in a day to do...

Because my brain doesn’t function any more, I’m just going to write whatever came to mind somewhat in a chronological order. I baked last night. The cupcakes were a massive hit at the company birthday party which was immediately after the early meeting we set up. Will blog at HmmFoodGood later. I had the early big meeting this morning. My alarm was set for 4:45 a.m. I was up around 1:30 a.m., then 2:45 a.m. and then 4 a.m. I picked up the Weevils t-shirts from Mario, Celeste’s brother. They’re awesome. I realized that I have become very cynical about...

I am 8 days before I leave for home. Did I tell you that? Yes, I leave in the middle of next week and be back July 9. I don’t think I’ve ever been this busy before my trip in my life. Then again, that’s called being a responsible, hard working adult. And you wonder why most of the time I’d rather be a 6 year-old. Yesterday We got a call from Justin late in the evening. As it turned out, he couldn’t get the 4th of July week off after all and therefore he had to cancel the road...

He is finally declared healthy! Jet is a long awaited baby. Joy and Ruj had been trying for many years. We are sure he’d be super spoiled!!...

My “cousin” Nicky (you know, family friends ARE family for us Asians) graduated from UCI yesterday. I was there as his carpool buddy and personal paparazzi. After I got home, we had a moment of scare when the pictures Brandon uploaded disappeared from the server and we had already deleted them off the camera. Let me just say that thank GOD for data retrieval tools. We managed to get most of them, if not all of them back. Plus the ones we thought we lost, like the pictures of 2 burly men singing “The Greatest Love of All” on Karaoke...
