I’ve got a problem.

This is a recurring issue that I have when it comes to the banal and yet glorious task of cooking.
This is not a confession that I’m a bad cook. To the contrary, I’m a pretty decent cook. I’m just very inconsistant.
Inconsistancy in the frequency of my cooking.
Inconsistancy in the quality of my cooking.

The Annual Breakup Post

(In the tradition of past breakup posts - See 2006 2005, 2004, 2003)
Dear 2007,
Well. We both knew this was coming. It’s our thing.
This was your year. The year of the pig. The year of wealth and prosperity and good things. There’s been a lot of that together that we’ve shared. […]


There’s something to be said for

… responding to fear.
This has been an abiguous and awkward topic for me to approach for quite some time.  I’m feeling a hankering for getting out of my shell and writing again.
Personally.
And not for any specific audience - in fact, actively trying to ignore the potential audience of the future anonymous masses out there. […]


Family is funny

So my coworker KC was telling me about this new geneology site. Geni.com
One that’s a social network for families.
With the latest news on Myspace, sexual predators, and etc etc, I had to take a moment to still my head.
After all, rolling one’s little Asian eyes that far back into your head can cause bystanders to […]


OMFG what was I thinking?

Ok,
So of late I’ve been on a couple of different but not diametrically opposed thought processes of late.
#1. My 1 second thingie. If I live an environmentally conscientious life, then perhaps I can help extend the life of the planet by one solitary second. Join me if you like.
#2. What are the things […]


Randum Thunks

Quite a bit going on though I feel overwhelmingly guilty and resplendant with self-flagellating for succumbing to as much inertia and entropy in my life these days. I’m reminded on why I titled my blog BrainDump so many years ago.
Inertia: Every body perseveres in its state of being at rest or of moving uniformly […]


Travel Update 02.17.06

You know what I love about traveling this time around?
Being in chill mode. I don’t have a panicky hectic pace. I’m not in a rush to see people. I’m able to have marvelous and intimate conversations with people without the distraction of urgency or some facade of being accessible and seen in […]


On Housekeeping & What not..

Happy Lunar New Year folks!
May your heart, life and home be filled with peace, laughter, and many blessings. And yeah, though the year is of the dog, I’m pretty sure it isn’t going to be as much of a bitch as last year.
In a bit of housecleaning this year I figured I’d ping you […]


Update on Me.

So change is definitely blowing hard and fast in the air today.
It’s a really good thing.
I promise.
Some optimism charging things:
#1. My trip to Texas was so imensely soul rewarding that I don’t know where to begin. It’s amazing to me how often we script our own successes adn failures. And how often we […]


Jimminy.

I was talking to my friend the other day about my (yet again) pushed out plans to go to Korea. She kept on extolling the fact that shopping was going to be phenomenal there and that I would have a blast.
And then she paused, looked at me for a second and said with hesitancy,
“um… […]


And yes, this will seem very cryptic.

But I think I’ve finally done it.
I’ve hit my wall.
And it hurts. (Because, afterall, walls are quite hard)
And there will be some hiding & hybernating until I get some things figured out.
I think I’ll dub this my 100DayPlan.

This Vs That.

A. The not bad way to wake up from a nap
You mumble in your sleep on the couch about wanting coffee.
Your friend walks out of the apt with your keys, and returns with said coffee.
You awake to the gentle warmth of the cup again’st your cheek.
B. The very bad way to wake up from […]

Today’s Thunk 11.17.04

Realization:
I’ve lived my life … less in fear of personal failure, and more in fear of disapointing those whom I love and respect.
I am lacking in this type of courage and confidence.
This is… a weakness on my part, to give credit and respect back to those who have invested their affection, confidence and […]
