Someone that can change your life
I've had a fair number of girlfriends in my lifetime, and even more crushes. But this time...it feels profoundly different... This' the first time I've met someone who has the potential to really change my life, and it's quite a surprise to me. With all of my ex's and past crushes, I felt little need to change my lifestyle, whether they ask or not ( Read more... ) -
Justice!! Not Guilty, Btches! ^o^
So last year, I got a bogus traffic ticket for making a freeway exit that two police cars that suddenly pulled up were supposedly blocking off. The confusion was that they had their left-sliding roof lights on, and a small gap in the exit, to their left. So, left-sliding lights + gap to their left = "make the exit while staying to the left of their ( Read more... ) -
w00t! I'm on Mythbusters!
Today, I volunteered to partake in a Mythbusters experiment on pain threshhold @_@. So I went over to SF, where they shoot the show, and got to explore the place I see on TV each week. I don't know if my footage will make it to air, but if it does, I'm sure it'll just be part of a quick montage of all the participants. I spent only a short time ( Read more... ) -
Just ran in the Modball Rally
I guess it's about time I post about this, I recently ran in the inaugural USA running of the Modball Rally, which is basically a shorter (read: more affordable) version of the Gumball Rally. It's the same premise: drive all day, party all night. There were actually two groups running, a West Coast group, and an East Coast group, and we would ( Read more... ) -
a small birthday rant
I don't really advertise my birthday very much; I guess so I don't make people feel obligated to do anything (of course, that makes me extra delighted if someone does remember). I may not do much to celebrate my birthday, but I don't think it's a far stretch to expect a little something from extra-close people ( Read more... ) -
What I wore at Comic Con
It's been awhile since I've come up with a costume since Speed Racer. Well, at Comic Con this year, I debuted my Grammaton Cleric dress uniform from Equilibrium. This' worn by Christian Bale's character, John Preston in one of the most badass (if short) gun-action scenes ever: www.youtube.com/watch

Too young for the old timers, too old for the young 'uns
Today I went to a car meet which had a good turnout of older (mostly 50's and 60's era) imports, like Alfas, Triumphs, etc. And as is the case with cars like these, the owners are mostly older folks, who've probably owned and worked on these cars for years. Everyone here is a connoisseur, and is very friendly, open, and often has good stories to ( Read more... ) -
The Stig's ID has been outed! WTF?!
Given the infamous aggressiveness of British tabloids, I was always amazed that Top Gear could keep the identity of The Stig a secret for so long. But today, The (white) Stig's identity was revealed when he opened his mouth to a an art dealer, who in turn opened his big mouth to everybody else. (edit: apparently, this' been an open secret in the UK ( Read more... ) -
2008 Year-in-Review
Happy New Year's everyone! Well here's my summary on 2008, which I have to say, was a pretty good year. Of course, there have been some frustrations, annoyances, and humiliation, and the biggest downside of the year is that I'm still single. But the upside is that it left me with plenty of spare income to fund all the adventures that made 2008 so ( Read more... ) -
Anyone wanna go to Vegas (and maybe be in a movie)?
From Friday, Nov. 21, to the following Monday or Tuesday, I’ll be in Vegas to shoot a couple scenes for an independent sequel film (a superhero spoof). So I thought I’d see if anyone is interested in going too. I have room for one, so transportation and accommodations are taken care of. All you’d need to do is be entertaining company for the ( Read more... )
