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,...

Crashed

So much for the publicity they built for the project, especially the hypes about helicopter stunt pilots to intercept the returned craft for a super gentle landing. The solar dust samples are ultra delicate. It must suck to be a NASA scientist yesterday when $264 million was spent on collecting 0.4 milligrams of cosmic and solar dust, and the damn parachute didn’t open....

Farscape Campaign

Farscape is coming back on October 17 on SciFi Channel. This is probably one of the best scifi drama series on television.

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...

Idolized

It has been quite some time since I walked out of a movie theater still immersed in my thoughts. That movie is Hero. The story is essentially Chinese. The dramatics is essentially Yimou. The cast is essentially Hong Kong and China’s elites. Jet Li. Zhang Ziyi. Maggie Cheung. And of course, Tony Leung. Can’t get any better internationally known stars than that. I left the theater pondering the movie. More so, I was revisiting my past infatuation with Tony Leung. I had the biggest crush on Tony some time around 4th or 5th grade. He was starring in one of...
