in reno

I’m in Reno, Nevada, as a last-minute trip for my mothers birthday. I’m in my hotel room blogging instead of gambling because I’m suffering from sensory overload - I just came back from Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago for a friends wedding - so while my mother hems and haws about how [...]


conversations at this years gay pride parade

Conversation #1:
(Cut to a car full of gays passing by the rather infamous Becks Travel Lodge)
Brian:  Oh, look.  Beck’s Travel Lodge.  Or as I like to call it, “WHORES R US.”
Hugh, Brian’s partner:  Uhm, hon, didn’t we stay there for a weekend a while ago?
Jason:  Oooh, so maybe it should be called “WHORES R [...]


succulent in its poultricide

My first five days living in San Francisco thus far have been nice. Since I’m living in the Twin Peaks area of San Francisco where there seems to be this perpetual blanket of fog, it’s twenty to thirty degrees cooler than the sweltering condo in Fremont, where there is no A/C. My dad’s [...]


holy crap, i’m in a book

Since I’ve had my weblog for a while and it’s picked up a reader or two, I’ve had my fair share of e-mails that my stuff should be in a book. Hell, maybe not even a book, but some type of printed form such that once they’re done reading, it could be used for [...]


y! gay

Yahoo! Celebrates Gay & Lesbian Pride. Or as I like to call it informally around the office, Y!Gay. And yes, it’s exactly what you think it is - a gay portal site from Yahoo!. (Although with all the World of Warcraft I’ve been playing, when I think “gay portal” I imagine Hearthstoning [...]


i don’t even know what a state controller is

I’m still on hiatus.
But in the meantime, it’s California election season, and I’ve been fairly disgusted with all of the negative campaigning that’s been going in the gubernatorial race between Steve Westly and Phil Angelides. “Westly promised no negative campaigns!” “Angelides started it! And he’s corrupt!” “Westly is more corrupt!” “Angelides [...]


bullet points

Greetings to anyone who found my blog by reading last week’s issue of The Advocate. Uhm, sorry for being on hiatus. This is probably the second or third time I’ve been in a magazine like this, but I always find it kinda surreal to walk into a bookstore, turn to a particular page [...]


the only asian insurance guy in tennessee (hiatus)

It’s gotten pretty obvious that I’ve been avoiding in this blog lately. White Elephant: 1, Ernie: 0.
To be honest, I’m at a point of my life where I’ve cornered myself into a life rut. A couple of weeks ago, my father sat me down at a Fresh Choice, and matter-of-factly gave me a [...]

the cruise

I never did post about my cruise, did I? Very well, then. A couple of weeks ago, I went on a 7-day cruise to Mexico with Emotion Eric. The idea started innocently enough:

Eric: Cruises are great. You can eat any time you want, and you don’t have to pay a [...]
