A spot that changes everything

Those who have been following my Twitter might have seen the drama of Friday. 2 weeks ago, Brandon went to the dermatologist to have a few spots on his face checked out.  While there, the doctor insisted to just look him over and took a biopsy from this spot on his back.  Friday was his follow up appointment and it turned out the one on the back is well on its way to become a melanoma.  To be on the safe side, the derm scooped out the skin around the area and sent that to the lab as well.

That thing I do

I have been staying up passed my bed time this week.  Case in point, see time stamp. It seems I just have a lot I want to do and I’m excited about all of them.  I’ve been busy updating my experiences at the Temple and at the food blog with my cooking binge. I can’t tell you enough how much joy cooking give me.  Now even more joyous that Brandon has the monopoly on dishes.  It was like a runner’s high for me.  I feel awesome having cooked something we can both enjoy.  So I’ve been indulging in that little...

Delurk! Delurk! Delurk!

Hey, you.  Yeah, YOU!  De-lurk.  Now! Delurking Day is when you, my readers, reveal yourself.

The Big O

My Tweep Annette tagged me with the me-me of 10 favorite things starting with the letter “O”.   Well, Annette got a “K” and that was quite a task.  So far, my issue with the “O” is keeping it clean.  LOL. And I’m just going to combine this with a Flickr meme Raven tagged me with a while ago. So, 10 “O” Favorites plus 10 random Flickr pictures of the said favorites! The Alphabet Favorite: The rule of the school is this: make a list of your top 10 favorite things! The catch is that all of your favorites have to...

2008 Awards

Drinking Buddy of the Year: Dave the New Guy Well, at this point, Dave is not new any more.  Since Celeste has left the company, Dave has stepped up to be the man to call on for a little happy hour action.  As a matter of fact, Dave led the pack to the fun night in West Hollywood a few months back with Nik, Erin and I in tow.  That was quite a night. Bar of the Year: Suede Bar, Downtown LA Oh, how have we survived the hard day of work before Suede?  Suede opens up in the Bonaventure...

Repost: Stuck in Bangkok – Best and Worst

Repost from my Thai-Blogs.com entry. We finally are leaving Thailand tomorrow. Out of Suvarnabhumi, to my father’s relief. Getting up at 4 a.m. to go to Bitec check-in point for U-tapao would be torturous for the poor man. My planned 2-week vacation was extended to 19 days of bliss laced with frustration, thanks to the airport closures. However, it’s always good to be home. Things are always changing around here in the Land of Smiles. For better or worse. So here’s my best/worst list of my recent trip home. Best: Extended vacation. Worst: Brandon’s extra week of time off he...
