I don’t watch American Idol, but as a pop culture fiend, I’ve been following the results by listening to Ralph talks about it on Kevin & Bean Show on KROQ. Sure, Ralph is totally in love with Katherine McPhee. Afterall, it’s him who coined “McPheever”. But after watching a brief glimpses of her here and there, I do agree with him. She has a great voice. And yeah, she’s hot. That Hicks guy? Sorry. He doesn’t wow me. Period. My question to you today: McPhee or Hicks? Nonetheless, I will be watching LOST finale tonight. After all, I had a...

Because I’m Thai, I took a little joy in a few jokes that flew around me today on Cambodia’s expense. Oh come on, it’s a well known feud. I’m just being patriotic. 😉 Person #1: So, how was your meeting yesterday? Person #2: It was good. We had all of these folks there.

We woke up at 7:58 on our own. Fully rested. A sign of a good morning. And then I checked my morning reading list, and found that Chris Frenchy has posted the story his proposal to his lady love Brandy, completed with video. I’m smiling ear to ear now. Yep. It’s going to be a good day. *UPDATE* Soon after I posted that, I wasn’t having too good of a morning. It’s going better now though…...

I wanted to play the piano and sing. But life got in the way and it’s now 10:09. 9 minutes past my courtesy noise curfew. I don’t even have anything to write about. I feel, like Lauren would say, lame. Yes, my piano sounds like a beat-up old thing in a saloon from a Western movie. I need to get her tuned. Someday. But in the meantime, I guess I’ll have to let out the creative bug on Flickr…...

Here’s me meeting Owen for the very first time! Also, I uploaded the photos from this year’s first Ren Faire. (You’ll have to go down half a set to see this year’s photos.) Yes, I said first. Because the Boren and the Grat-Clark clans will go again this Sunday!...
