Open House

This truly has been a great day. Brandon and I pretty much opened up the house to my friends and former colleagues so we can catch up. As fate would have it, it turned out to be an all-girl affair, except for someone’s son and Brandon. We ate. We drank. We talked. We dug up the past. We discussed the future. We gleefully talked about everything from books, recipes, to the good-looking salt-and-pepper haired paramedic walking by (someone in the complex called an ambulance for something). We played American Idol, one of the 3 gag gift games from Zak, Irena,...

It’s Burning…Man

Our good friend, occasional Frisbee golf coach, and wedding DJ (did that purely as our wedding gift…the heart this man has!), Zak and his girlfriend Tawny spent a few days at the famous Burning Man. I wanted to go with them but since we were saving up the $$ for Thailand, it’ll have to be next year…or the year after that. Because, surely, if I could afford to go to BMan, I could afford to buy USC Season Football ticket. Then again, that’s a hunk of money out from the “get out of debt and into a house” plan. Yeah,...

Farscape Campaign

Farscape is coming back on October 17 on SciFi Channel. This is probably one of the best scifi drama series on television. Well, they were doing well, getting awards, gaining reputations when SciFi Channel decided to abruptly pulled the plug at the end of the 4th season instead of wrapping up the series in their 5th season as originally planned. Sure, as fans of the show, we want our show to continue forever, but that is almost impossible. So all we ask for was to give us the final season, a movie, or a mini-series of some kind so the...

Anatomy

Brandon and I went down to Huntington Beach for a couple of hours of sand and surf today. On the slow drive down the stretch there and back, we spotted several girls who look great in their beach wear or swimsuits. Yes. I said “we”. I don’t have the “my husband has to look at me and only me” complex. He can look all he wants because in the end, he’s coming home with me. Besides, I am supposed to look at them already, and as all female adults know, women are critical of each other–it’s our natural instinct. So...
