Hello. A lot of stuff has been going on in my life that I want to write about, but I still haven't regained the habit of posting journal entries. And being a private person, I filter out a lot of personal stuff that I think most people would normally share through the internet. But maybe these meme-type things will help get the ball rolling.

I had a dream that I went to a craft fair, and I met two dogs there that belonged to some of the artists at the fair. The dogs were alive, but they looked like they were hand-made! And cartoon-y!

Truth be told, I am no closer to posting a 2009 summary post. And I can't say I've made much progress in the way of summarizing our China/Hong Kong trip. BUT! I've managed to upload some shots of our visit to Beijing. Slowly, but surely, I will document this trip of a lifetime!

A 2009 summary post (and probably a separate one for our family trip to China!) is in the works. But looking ahead to 2010, it's not starting out very well ( Read more... )

Guess what I am eating right now. A chocolate chip and BACON cookie. Someone, an angel, put some in the office break room. Holy moly.

Just a mere two posts ago, I reflected on how I did on my engineering exam. That is, I did bad. And yep, as I found out last Friday, I did fail. *sigh* Some, if not all, of my co-workers passed. I'm really happy for them, but I'm feeling very discouraged. Stupid test ( Read more... )

On Friday night I attended the San Francisco International Film Festival screening of D-Tour. It's about the kidney trials and triumphs of Pat Spurgeon, the drummer of one of my favorite local bands Rogue Wave. I especially was excited to see this documentary because it features footage of a concert I went to back in the fall of 2006. It was a ( Read more... )
