So, last night was dinner with friends, followed by drinks/shisha and then a tsundere movie with the housemate. A very pleasant celebration all around. I broke out the usual harebrained scheme for world domination. This time it involved shlepping Jerusalem to the moon and hostile takeover of ASEAN once it's fully formed, i.e. common currency, ( Read more... )

Holy Rollers is a Jesse Eisenberg movie. I somehow thought it would be action-packed and well, thrilling. It was a thought-provoking movie, will give it that much. Just not what the housemate and I were looking to watch as the clock ticked down towards midnight.

Today was like mini-undergrad reunion. In fact, this week, next week and the week after ( Read more... )

I know I'm getting old when white text on black background has become more difficult than the usual black on white. And the excessive sleep on grey weather days. And, well, just a lot of things. But all of that makes me happy because honestly, aside from the worrying about family members getting older and sending checks instead of attending the ( Read more... )

It has been too long since I have written anything but bureaucratic obscurities (an oxymoron, yes, I know), such that I scarce know how to describe my thoughts. It appears to me however, after further reflection, that I am disgruntled not only by what appear to be irreparable flaws in my character but also by further disillusionment on my ( Read more... )

Still looking for a backlit keyboard but on the other hand, acquired the Script's "Science and Faith" album at Borders. Mourning the loss of locations closest to my workplace. The Barnes & Noble is not as enticing for purchases ( Read more... )

When in doubt, upset, or anything less than drunk on life, give thanks for the loved ones in your life willing to let you rant and rave until you think it's out of your system and then rant and rave some more until you're finally tired and they can get a word in edgewise, especially if it's to deflate your hysteria. I've never been so grateful for ( Read more... )

These past few months have been the most astounding period of my life and these past 30 days have been the most exhilarating and terrifying days of that period. And counting. I literally have everything I ever wanted and none of it is what I expected. So, I am trying to stop analyzing, dissecting, decoding and in short, everything that I am ( Read more... )

Absinthe and the company of good friends are definitely a healthy remedy. Plus, absinthe leaves you with a clear, not muddled head and no hangover. On the other hand, I'm somewhat dismayed that I woke up at 6:30 a.m., have eaten breakfast with coffee, gotten groceries and it's not even ten a.m ( Read more... )

Cousin: Most people do not enjoy polygraphs.
Me: I think it'd be cool to take one!

Me: Oh my God, oh my God, I missed the exit, oh thank God, there's the airport, shoot, shoot, where's the right direction, ah, got it, damn it, should I take 395 South, oh no, too late, have to keep going, am I going to have to go all the way back to ( Read more... )
