Like the subject line says, I spent a reasonable portion of yesterday in the Santa Clara County Main Jail. Tomorrow I'll be going to San Quentin State Prison to rub elbows with such celebrities as Scott Peterson and Cary Stayner. Thankfully - and I appreciate this now more than ever - I'm just a visitor. Have I mentioned lately that I love my ( Read more... )

Yesterday was my last final of the year, so today I hopped on a plane and finally, many hours of boring layover later, found myself in Jackson Hole, Wyoming with my common travel buddy, saklani2. This town, a stepping stone to Yellowstone National Park, is a tourist town on the off-season - it's still a bit cold up here, lingering during the day in the ( Read more... )

Just when I had given up all hope of having anything particularly fitting for the summer, bam! Awesome opportunity opened up. Having resigned myself to summer school and at best a half-semester of document review for the film company - a logistical hassle and boring work, even if it sounds sexy and I would have been excited to have it - a two- ( Read more... )

I'm somewhat active on Yelp, albeit sporadically, having managed Elite status last year due to mooglepower's awesomeness.

For those of you interested in being part of my annual San Diego ComicCon rooming "co-op" this year, I have moved all of the information off of LiveJournal and into it's own site. Registration has just opened and I have plenty of spots free.

So as some of you may know, yesterday was the Great Hotel Clusterf*ck, otherwise known as the day ComicCon opens up its rooming blocks. Because of my love-hate relationship with their doling-out method, I didn't bother to participate last year. It was the same system with the same problems, and I had better things to do with my time - namely ( Read more... )

Tomorrow marks the end of five years without chocolate. A silly bet that became something more, became a way to challenge myself and test my willpower. For five years I have resisted all temptation and have not knowingly eaten a single chocolate-containing product ( Read more... )
