(Hmmm. Let’s see how much I can write about him without actually writing about him.)
He’s been insisting on paying for every single dinner we’ve gone out for. All of them. Even when I insist on paying for it, he talks the waitress into giving back my credit card and replacing it with [...]
So, I’ve been dating someone for maybe a month or two by now. It’s weird.
It’s weird, because the last guy I had anything close to a romantic relationship with was when I was nineteen, and I’m currently 26. For all purposes, he was my boyfriend, and that was that, and we were automatically [...]
(As experienced, oh, no less than two minutes ago.)
Briefly consider diving under your computer desk. Change your mind immediately when you envision your bosses boss, walking by your cubicle and seeing your sorry programmer ass curled up fetal position next to a bunch of computer wires.
Stand up and peer over the field of cubicles, [...]
This is a year for firsts. Earlier this year, I broke out in hives. This weekend, including the day of my birthday: the stomach flu! Symptoms include nausea, vomitting, and diarrea. Non-stop diarrea. Non-stop, endless diarrea that makes you wake up every two hours, groggy and disoriented, as you [...]
Ernie: I need a Halloween costume. I’m supposed to take two co-workers out to the Castro tonight and I have this bright-blue, puffy made-in-China polyester bathrobe that Mom bought for me. Kinda looks like a pimpcoat. I don’t suppose you have a giant blue fedora and a cane lying around in [...]
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 [...]
Paris: Holy crap, check out the news. Santana Row is on fire. Eight alarms.
Santana Row was the major shopping and residential complex that has been under construction for a couple of years while I was living in San Jose. It was scheduled to open next month. The best way to [...]
Jen (AKA “the close friend from college,” AKA “the roommate’s girlfriend”) just got back from Thailand an hour ago.
Ernie: Jen! How was your trip to Thailand?
Jen: Remember our plan to go on a diet before my trip? We’re gonna do it. We need to go on a diet.
Ernie: Uh-oh. [...]
And speaking of food…
Ernie’s Basic Cooking Tips So Your Night Won’t Suck Like Mine Did
When cutting potatoes, be careful with sharp knives. I suggest using a knife that is relatively the same size as the potato. Don’t do what I did, and use the first knife you see, a GIANT razor-sharp knife meant [...]
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, [...]
