Mental note:
All You Can Eat Indian Lunch Buffet + Programming at a computer afterwards = Bad idea.
This math formula was known three years ago as:
All You Can Eat Indian Lunch Buffet + 2pm Electrical Engineering Summer School Course + 102 degree weather = Bad idea.
If anyone needs me, I’ll be napping at my cubicle, dreaming [...]
Oh, no she di’int.
To her defense, though, even if she was stealing my tagline, which I highly doubt, it’s not like I have the phrase “little, yellow, different” trademarked, or anything. Besides, I stole that phrase from a Nurprin commercial myself. There are probably dozens of Asian Americans that calling themselves “little, yellow, [...]
The scene: Friday night at a swank club with my friend, Hassan.
Ernie: Hey Hassan, this looks like your type of club. I see nothing but beautiful Persian people here.
Hassan: Okay, for the record, I’m not Persian. Persian people are from Iran. I am from Iraq. Iraq. With a Q.
Ernie: [...]
My epiphany for today: I am becoming my own worst enemy.
Okay, not really. Let me explain — when I was working at the (now bankrupt) dot-com, I was a web developer. This means doing a lot of scripting, coding and database work. Since this means we did a lot of work [...]
Yesterday was my Mother’s 65th birthday. Look, I can’t take my mom out to Las Vegas every year, so this year we settled on Bonfante Gardens, a flower and nature based “family theme” park. That means that half the people in attendance consisted of fathers holding video cameras and frustrated soccer moms, and [...]
Last week, I had the opportunity to have dinner with a bunch of church friends from the high school days. These are people I’ve known since I was fourteen years old, gossiping about whether whats-her-face was “getting it on” with whats-his-name in the church parking lot. (Note when I say “getting it on,” [...]
[If you haven't figured it out by now, I've been back in California for a couple of days now. I just haven't been able to post anything because of the giant stack of programming documents that greeted me at the airport. I'll post pictures soon, but if you haven't done so already, read [...]
Doc Grosz: Dude, if you promote my band on LYD I’ll give you a free CD.
Me: It’s a deal.
(Ernie listens to the CD. It’s actually pretty good, considering my usually steady diet of dance music and songs that aren’t in English. Their “radio single” actually deserves to be played on a [...]
Song of the moment: Boughetto, by Ali f/ Murphy. Yep folks, that’s the type of hip-hop club I went to last night with Bertie last night. Overheard in line last night:
(The background: Me and Bertie are waiting in line to get into the club. Two girls in halter tops are [...]
I’m posting from New York. There, I’ve posted. From Swerdloff’s studio in the East Village with Bertie, actually. He’s been written up in the Village Voice and everything. Seeing that I’ve been awake for the past 25 hours, here are some quick thoughts:
Murphys law: We would, of course, happen to [...]
