This weekend, I went to see Wicked, a musical about the Wizard of Oz. I went with my boyfriend and some friends of college, the day before the Gay Pride parade in San Francisco.
Jesus Christ, I just read that last paragraph out loud to myself. It’s like a day at the Gay Scouts, [...]
Most people in the San Francisco Bay Area, especially those people living near the coast like I do, don’t have air conditioners. My parents house never had an air conditioner. Our apartment doesn’t have an air conditioner.
“We don’t need air conditioner,” my father would say. “We have ocean!” And for the [...]
Things I wanted to blog about but never could, but now will because I’m going to get laid-off here anyway:
There’s this person that works in my building. He’s a Java programmer in his mid-forties and sits Indian-style on his swivel chair. He has a mop of white hair, giant glasses that exaggerate his [...]
Okay, what is UP with Friendster? A couple of months ago, I registered for the site — a way for single people to meet each other through their friends. There wasn’t a lot of people on the site; it was in beta, and everyone on the site at that point seemed to be [...]
If you know of any jobs or contracts that are opening up in the San Francisco Bay Area for a good front-end web developer starting July 1st, e-mail me.
Why do I write this? Because it’s just been announced that I, along with 90% of the other contractors here, are getting laid-off again by the [...]
The boyfriend and I, there are some things we have in common. And there’s some stuff where we’re… uhmm… pretty different.
The setting: in the car with Mike, listening to a CD of Gang Starr.
… Cause without some of them
I wouldn’t be here
And they all know how I feel
Cause suckers be like playin themselves

This is a follow-up to an earlier post.
So, remember how I did that god-awful rap with my high school friends Isaac and Annie? Well, a week or two ago, I got an e-mail from Isaac, who read the weblog:
…do you realize that WE came up with the idea and that we approached Laurie with [...]
Usually, I would never, ever post about products that arrive in my Inbox as spam. But this one kind of freaks me out a little bit.
The Forever Flashlight. Never needs batteries… EVER! Because it runs on the souls of children. (insert dramatic music here) What bugs me about this page, [...]
(6:58am. The phone rings. Like always, Chinese is in italics.)
Ernie: Hello…
Mom: WHERE WERE YOU?! I WAS WORRIED SICK ABOUT YOU!! I WAS GOING TO CALL THE POLICE, DO YOU HEAR ME? I CALLED EVERY MORNING FOR A WEEK AT 6:30AM!
Ernie: (I’m sure my roommate appreciated that.)
Mom: [...]
Florida is… interesting.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m having a great time. I don’t think I expected this Florida weather, however:
7:00am - 3:00pm: High heat. 110% humidity. Sauna-like conditions. I take a shower, get into some fresh clothes. Promply exit the hotel, walk ten feet, turn around, squeeze out the [...]
