I was quite an interesting experiment last night. If you’ve been following my tweet (as you should…@oakmonster), you would know that my office experienced an internet outtage yesterday afternoon. I found myself texting in my tweets about the outage. When I got home though, I decided to unplug altogether. I went to grab dinner with Brandon without my phone, and when I got back, I didn’t turn the computer back on at all. Then again, I was busy. I baked another one of Nigella’s Guinness Chocolate Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting per Brandon’s coworkers’ request. In between that, I sat...

It’s a fashion fate, really. Friday morning, I found myself at a loss as to what t-shirt to wear to work on casual Friday. And I have LOTS of t-shirts. However, some of them starting to get old, as in boring. Having been introduced to Threadless a while back by Rude Cactus (also @rudecactus), I popped in just in time for their spring sale and got a couple of shirts for $5 and $10. Cute, eh? Then yesterday, I checked the mail and the t-shirt I’ve won from a contest put on by LA2Day Magazine a while ago arrived. It’s...

St. Patty’s was a hit both at work and at home. A great turn out at the office with everything from cookies to green deviled eggs. 9 people showed up at my doors for the Guinness Stew and a little bit of drinking. The old gang hung out well with my new friends from Tweet Up, Annette @dananner and Wyatt @phraktyl. A lesson we learned? Don’t ever give Phraklet, Phraktyl’s son, a Mountain Dew. Ever. Again. LOL. I didn’t drink all that much at St. Patty’s. Just an Irish Car Bomb I did with Annette and Wyatt and a couple...

I’m taking it as a sign that I should just go ahead and change the entire look of my website. The first time I tried to fix a minor thing a couple of weeks ago, air guitaring at the keyboard caused some issues and I had to start over. This time, my ambition to upgrade my WordPress fueled the fire. Then because I could install it finally on ThrilltheWorldLosAngeles.com, I thought I surely can do it here. So I archived the blog’s database. But didn’t save the CSS template. And here we are again. So, I’m going to spend the...

This is my [air] rifle. There are many like it but this one is mine. My [air] rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my [air] rifle is useless. Without my [air] rifle I am useless [in case of the apocalypse or war against zombies]. I must fire my [air] rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my [air] rifle and myself...
