Day 244

I didn?t do much of anything today except read. My stomach?s been bothering me. I think I?ve been eating too many vegetables. I watched something on Discovery Health Channel about a man in Mexico who weighed over 1,000 pounds. He got that way from eating all the wrong foods and when he could take care [...]


Day 243

I started my day off very early (after 1 am) by going to Winco?s to do some shopping for this Korean dish I?ve been craving for 3 years. I ended up having to go to several different grocery stores before I found Rice Wine, a required ingredient for Tak Kalbi. I?m assuming the alcohol content [...]


Day 242

I have to constantly remember to save, save, save, just in case the computer decides to do something crazy. The only drawback about Apple computer they don’t operate well in heat. When we got our first heat wave, my laptop went bonkers and nothing would work right until I shut it down and moved to [...]


Day 241

I had a blast today. I went to the Bowers Museum in Orange County to see the Terra Cotta Warriors with a friend. The exhibit wasn’t what I thought it was going to be but it was better than looking at the warriors in a book. I got some cool souvenirs. I got a a [...]


Day 240

I am completely stumped as to who Joe Biden is. I?ve never heard of him before and yet he is running as Obama?s VP. I guess I?ll be doing some research. I don?t know who McCain has picked for his running mate. I?m sure I can find that answer on the Internet. However, I?m just [...]


Day 239

So, there wasn?t anything wrong with Mobile Me. It works fine. It?s some of the features in iWeb that made my blog look like crap. Okay. I?m done talking about that. I don?t know what I want to blog about. I actually just want to go to bed. My mouth is a little sore from [...]


Day 238

So I went to the Apple store at the Glendale Galleria to see if I could get some help with my Web site. He only new the basics of iWeb but he did set me up with a 1 to 1 Concierge appointment with someone who knows a little more about using iWeb. That?s actually [...]


Day 237

My mother loves to read books and watch television programs on slavery and Jim Crow. She even decorates her home with pictures of slaves happily picking cotton and has a print of Harriet Tubman?s Underground Railroad by Paul Collins. If you?re familiar with the painting, just know it?s not exactly my style when it comes [...]


Day 236

I didn?t finish my paper as expected. I just have no motivation for getting the paper done and finished and turned in. I?m been fiddling around with my what I am hoping to be my new website but after publishing it, it looks like sh!t. My pictures don?t show up and everything on my web [...]


Day 235

I had a lunch today to celebrate my rebirth. I stuffed myself silly with pancakes. I?m going to have to workout for many, many hours to work off all those carbs. The good news is, I finally got my new computer. I was supposed to pick it up at FedEx but they delivered it to [...]


Day 234

Tomorrow will be my luncheon. People I know will get to watch me stuff my face with pancakes. Or scrambled chicken embryos. I don?t know. It will all depend on how I?m feeling. I?m thinking I will need some protein. I just finished exercising using the Wii. I unlocked another Wii Fit game (Boxing). It [...]


Day 233

Today is the official end of my military obligation. I am no longer a soldier. I thought I would be happier about it, but like most other days (including holidays), it’s just another day. Why does it feel like just another day? Why am I not jumping for joy? I should be. Could it be [...]


Day 232

Okay, so I was reading an article at the Writer?s Guild of America Web site about Shonda Rhimes and how she got started in writing and producing for tv. It?s very interesting. Basically, what I got from the article is write what I know. That seems easy enough. Gosh, I totally had something interesting to [...]


Day 231

I hurt from the boxing I did on the Wii yesterday. My mom got on it today and had an asthma attack. I don?t think she will be trying the boxing anymore. That game really makes you work! I haven?t tried any of the other sports because I just wanted to beat the crap out [...]


Day 230

I spent an hour and a half playing with my mom?s Wii. Very exhausting. It requires physical activity. You can?t sit down and play. While playing the boxing game, I realized I have some anger issues I need to work out. Do you think I should call that 1-800 number the Army gave me for [...]


Day 229

I didn?t do much today. I watched Pride and Prejudice again. I really like that movie. I have no idea why. I guess it?s because love doesn?t equate sex. That?s my biggest pet pieve about most movies and television shows. Man and woman hops in the bed and that?s supposed to represent love. Whatever. I?ve [...]


Day 228

Wow. I almost forgot to blog. I was so preoccupied with my research for school. I can?t wait until my vacation in nine days. Oh, I can?t wait. I rented three movies for the weekend. I got a recommendation for the movie Simone from someone at Thumb Twiddle. I actually liked Simone. It has been [...]


Day 227

I was watching the news last night and there was a very short story about how a man in Michigan bought a house for $1. Of course, all the fixtures had been removed by vandals and I think they took out the the pipes, but for a buck that house is a bargain. Purchasing all [...]


Day 226

Does it make sense to apply for a promotion? I mean, the very definition of promotion means advancement in rank or position. So, why would anyone need to apply for a promotion? That doesn?t make sense at all. There have been a couple of situations where there was an opportunity for a promotion and someone [...]


Day 225

I must be cold blooded but I think I?m right to question someone that has a history of not being available for school. Apparently there was a death in his family and he won?t be available Saturday and Sunday. I should have bet money that he would us that excuse. And he?ll get away with [...]


Day 224

I think it?s time I reveal my true age and I?m only doing this because, well, I?m going to keep this to myself for another 3 years. But have you ever wished you were younger? I never wished I was younger, I just wish time would stand still or at least everyone around me would [...]


Day 223

I took my mom to Yang Chow in Chinatown for her birthday. The food was good. We had Slippery Shrimp and Three Ingredients Tastes with Snow Peas. Slippery Shrimp was especially good. I wish I had the recipe or at least lived a couple of blocks away from Yang Chow. We also go to-go boxes [...]


Day 222

I didn?t do much today except outline my paper that?s due on Monday. I plan to write it tomorrow. Hopefully I will be able to get it done. I?m really tired of school and would normally have finished it by now but there is something else I?d rather be doing. Like biting my toenails. I [...]


Day 221

I don?t have much to blog about. My day went by like all the other days in the work week. I?m hoping to finish with my paper tomorrow so I can go treat myself to Sushi and see the Temptations perform. There is going to be a Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicle marathon this Sunday! [...]
