At Yahoo!’s Giving Tree: What a 6 year old wants for Christmas
Apparently, she wants a BARBIE CALL GIRL LUAU. This is the part where I start singing how I [...]
Rachael Ray.
It’s okay, laugh all you want - while it’s easy to make fun of everything about her, from her laugh to the way she says “YUMM-MO” to the way she rolls her eyes back in culinary ecstasy as she eats a Denver Omelet at some diner in Cleveland, she makes a decent [...]
(The scene: on the car ride home with my friend Royce. We were at a bear bar earlier.)
Ernie: …man, events like these are cool because I know people, but sometimes it’s frustrating, you know? Like, I go to these things and I’m totally the invisible man.
Royce: Bullshit. People were [...]
I am currently working from a coffee shop in Fremont - one of the few with free wi-fi that doesn’t have a menu in Chinese or sells pearl milk tea. The coffee shop is playing the light-rock-less-talk station which, to my horror, is now all-Christmas music, 24 hours a day. This is either [...]
Does anyone recommend any decent places to go for a vacation? I discovered I have the maximum amount of company vacation days possible and they won’t roll over next year. Going on a trip by myself has crossed my mind, but I haven’t done it before and it feels a little intimidating. [...]
I turn 30 years old today. Here is my Amazon wishlist, because lately I’ve been on this “I gotta get mine” kick. If other gay bloggers can have ads of botox and nude gay resorts or the Wonderjock (don’t ask), the least I can do is passive-aggressively ask people I barely know on [...]

You know, having a badge is a way of life in corporate America. Like you, I also have to prominently wear a badge that has my name and photo somewhere on my person. And wearing your badge on your belt often makes for [...]
Another reason why YouTube rocks: only now have I stumbled upon videos of M.U.G.E.N, a video game engine that “allows for anyone to create characters, stages and other game objects through interpreted text files and graphics and sound compilations and it also supports various types of audio formats such as MP3, ADX, OGG and [...]
A couple of months ago, my friend Jen turned 30 and I made a mix CD for her. When a bunch of us was over at her house for an early Thanksgiving dinner, she had the CD playing and casually reminded me that I haven’t written up any liner notes for her yet. [...]
Mom, on the phone: Ernie, I want to come to your house and help clean up while you’re at work. How do I get in your condo gate?
Usually I would have issues with my mother with free access inside my house, but considering I recently moved back to Fremont from San Francisco and my [...]
