So there we were, at the sushi place, innocently enjoying our dragon roll and lo and behold, we’re drawn into this convoluted topic discussed at the table next to us. It turns out their discussion started out as good natured ribbing about one of the boy’s athletic prowess. All three signed up to play for a local soccer team and despite being ( Read more... )

“I once was lost, but now am found, was blind but now I see.” This was the sentence that began my Whiteness class ( Read more... )

Last night I had dinner with a friend at a sushi restaurant near my house. It was one of those evenings that should’ve been uneventful for the most part but wasn’t. This particular restaurant is frequented by SDSU students so it’s a pretty eclectic crowd. The restaurant itself is small and the tables are set really close to each other. It stands to ( Read more... )

Friday night I found myself on top of the world - kind of. I went to Altitude, a bar on top of the Marriott hotel in downtown. I had my heart set to go to the Shout House (dueling pianos) but we couldn’t find parking close by and ended up parking across the street from the Marriott. Considering my powers of persuasion and the fact that the people I ( Read more... )

God, I hope I’m not going through some sort of a crisis or ( Read more... )

In an attempt to cross out a few of the things off my list, I decided to make raspberry soufflé. In hindsight, it was too much of an undertaking for the whole “learning how to bake” thing but I was determined. Long story short - I failed miserably. I’m not exactly sure what went wrong but needless to say it didn’t look or taste very good. Actually ( Read more... )

So, here’s my top secret list of things to do before I die, which I guess is no longer top secret. Actually, I’m only going to post half of it to keep the mystery alive. The stuff I’ve actually done is bold and underlined, the stuff I've kind of done is just underlined…

Ok, you're just sitting around with nothing to do on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Just gather your laptop, your GPS, your WiFi card and a set of wheels and head to your local Starbucks for a fun filled afternoon of hacking!
This guy rocks!

I have a new love in my life and thy name is Slosh Ball. Oh yeah. We drove up to the park and found a bunch of folks already primed and ready to play. The keg was tapped, the beer was flowing, the gloves were out and a lone softball sat off to the side. I was greeted with smiles and a plastic cup full of amber ale and then the ultimate question was ( Read more... )
