Moving
In the process of moving into a new pad. A small cozy 1Bd/1Ba condo. 5 minutes from work so I'll need to figure out how I'm going to be spending the extra 80 or so minutes everyday that I normally lose to commuting ( Read more... ) -
(Possible) cure for your psychotic cat
I was reading this article on the LA Times this morning. Instead of catnip, the treatment of the day appears to be Prozac.
I don't know whether to be horrified, to be amused, or to say "about time."
Your dog wants a "special" treat. -

Happy New Year!
Ringing in 2007!
Going to be a quick update. I came across this article while pouring over the morning news stories. The guy's got some serious brass.
Here's to you, Wesley Autrey! You've started this year on a high note. If all mankind were as selfless. -
In High Definition
I bought a new HD LCD TV for my parent's anniversary a couple months back. It looks very nice, especially on the handful of HDTV channels. Today, my dad's watching the big USC/UCLA football game on it.

A nice day for a walk
It's sunny today with hardly a cloud in the sky. A few wisps here and there offer some references for those looking for something to use to gage distances. The day's fore casted high temperature is 89F, though it's not quite there yet. I got into the office this morning at around 8 AM. Was supposed to get started on a number of things, but ( Read more... ) -
Dental Hygene
Flossing was never one of those things I did regularly until this year. For one, I was never sure of the proper technique. Another reason was time; it often can take up to 5-10 minutes to properly work through both sides of each tooth. Last, my gums would always bleed as I couldn't figure out how to avoid 'snapping' the floss. However, after ( Read more... ) -
When not to be a good samaritan
After dinner, I decided to got out for a walk around my neighborhood to help with digestion. Being busy as a bee, I haven't had many opportunities to get out and exercise this week so it was nice stretch the legs a bit ( Read more... )
