I’m bitter. You can ask me why. A disappointment of a major scale has occurred. It was like passing out before giving birth to a baby, missing out on the glorious moment you’ve been waiting for for months. It’s really, really hard to get over. So I’ve been cranky around the office, stressed out around the house, and overall one angry and bitter ray of outward sunshine to everyone. My attempt to release stress at my yoga class was also squelched. It seems I have twisted my left hand on Tuesday. I couldn’t put my weight on it and it...

Oh yeah. Friday was a HELL of a day. It actually started Thursday night. Thursday night We had dinner and sampled ridiculous variety of beer with Paul and Lupe at Beachwood Barbecue. I finally had my Mac and Cheese, the BEST I’ve had and lord knows how many sips of whats I had. Nice and buzzed, I got home to a monstrous task of trying to watch most DVR’ed shows as I can before we get the box replaced on Friday. And what a week to have the DVR taken away too! Since I haven’t been home all week, Brandon...

Hi there. I haven’t been home in the evening since Monday. And the trend is not stopping. Sorry for the pauses in posting. Monday night I was at Face2Face: Elton John and Billy Joel concert. I treated James, my fellow piano man, to this as his belated birthday and early Christmas presents. We enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Billy Joel rocked my socks off and Elton John wowed me silly. I got a few horrible cell phone video clips I’ll post later. Yesterday, our former colleague Erin returned to the office to temp for a week while she’s on break from school. ...

#1 first day in COW SCHOOL Found on Flickr by Wild*Dreams. We were watching a National Geographic documentary Stone Henge Decoded. There was a scene when the archeology team starts to dig around the outside of the Durrington Walls.  There was a shot of all these cows gathered by the fence, seemingly to gawk at the humans. Kind of like this. “How cute!” Suddenly, a thought occurred to me. “Look at all them lookymoos!” *** #2 Southern California finally returns to its natural state of sunny and warm this weekend. “I’m sooo glad we can be out and about...

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...
