So tonight, Chris, Min Jung and I went out tonight to catch APAture’s Film and Video screening. (They have a spoken word segment tomorrow that you should really check out.) But before that, a quick bite to eat at Trader Joe’s the street over.
Ernie: Wow, this is the cruisiest gay supermarket I have [...]
The back-story: I had never, ever developed hives before. I’ll be honest — when people talked about other people “breaking out in hives,” I just kinda nodded and smiled and figured it meant they had a really bad case of temporary acne. Until I myself broke out in hives. Late [...]
You know that show Everybody Loves Raymond, right? Tim breaks the show down to its basic elements:
For those who’ve never watched, the show is about a dim-witted sportswriter who somehow has duped a woman who clearly loathes him into marrying and breeding with him. And they have decided to live across the street from [...]
So, 9/11 has come and gone. And fortunately, I’ve been able to avoid the 24-hour “tribute to 9/11″ documentaries on television that would have just gotten me depressed all day.
Unfortunately, the reason why I’ve been able to avoid said documentaries is because I’m still at work. Where I have been since 9am this [...]
This weekend Paris, Belinda, Don and I went to California Extreme [photo via Andy], where I bumped into Andre. I would retell the story, but he sums it up pretty nicely. Yeah. Also at ArcadeCon, this conversation:
Ernie: You think there are other nerdy gay guys around here?
Don: Are you kidding? [...]
Tonight: online chatting with Chris, the cousin. (Yeah, the famous one.)
But first, the required wannabe Asian geneology backstory — a good majority of Chinese people have one Chinese character for a last name, and two characters for our first name. besides all being named alphabetically, my cousins and I share the first character [...]
Post-Weakest Link Comment, Part 1: Everything is a sham.
Okay, okay. It’s not all a sham. But here’s the deal — it takes anywhere from 90 minutes to two full hours to tape a half an hour show. The majority of the time spent on taping is for the typical quiz stuff, [...]
Blogging this from an Internet Access terminal at the Los Angeles International Airport. Man was not made to be awake at 4:45 in the morning. And be at work less than 5 hours later. Good thing I just shotgunned three cups of coffee.
I would love to tell you how I did on [...]
Pre-Weakest Link Comments, Part 3: The semi-amusing story.
Earlier this weekend, a staffer from the show called me, like they did all the other people in the contestant pool.
The Weakest Link Staff Member: So, we’re looking for an amusing story — something the host can use to make fun of you between rounds.
Ernie: [...]
Pre-Weakest Link Comments, Part 2: Clothing guidelines.
I have to bring four changes of clothes, where the producers of the show will probably make a bunch of fat comments behind my back and suggest something in “slimming vertical stripes.” Probably.
Looking at the studio guidelines, I’m not allowed to wear polka dots or checkers. [...]
