[Midnight Madness] It Ends with Forever
It’s over. For the last 4 years, my friends and I had a ritual. It consisted of standing in line for about a whole work day, eagerly anticipating the next cinematic installment of the Twilight book series. And, tonight, sadly, the last installment has been eagerly anticipated and seen. I remember how I felt every […]

[All Aboard] TGRXPRS
I will probably remove this post when I come to my senses, but for now, I’ll leave it be. It’s almost mid-November. Normally I would kind of be happy. The holiday season is just around the corner, after all. But in 10 days from now, it will be 4 years since my teacher and good […]
[TCM] My Sh(o)ero
Sorry, Imelda Marcos. I hate to say I’m following in her (dare do I say?) footsteps. I’ve become somewhat obsessed with shoes. And I have DSW to blame. If you’re one of the unlucky ones, there’s not a DSW in plain sight of where you live. So, for you poor soles, let me fill you in. And […]
[TCM] Deep Di$count Super *Star*
Although I haven’t shopped at Macy’s a lot lately, I get some pretty fantastic deals when I do. As of today, I have gotten deep discounts on 3 dresses. How deep? I’ve gotten at least 80% off. For today, I bought a Free People dress. The original price: $128. The price I got it for (pre-tax): […]
[Mahalo] In Fifty Years…
I will be peeing in my disposable adult underwear when I read this book — In Fifty Years We’ll All Be Chicks… And Other Complaints from an Angry Middle-Aged White Guy. The book is written by my not brother from a hippy mother Adam Carolla. Carolla is the kind of guy people seem to love […]
[28] Reel Great Fun
“I was working in the lab when a radioactive spider bit me. Aah!” This is what I hear in my head any time I think about Spider-Man. Since I recently saw The Amazing Spider-Man, it sparked yet another memory: The Talking View-Master. When I was little, this was one of the most amazing things I played […]

[27] Trashy Summertime Fun
Ah summer. As an adult, I am not a big fan of it — the heat, the congestion on the freeway as the exit to the beaches near, the depression of not fitting into a teeny tiny bikini. As a kid, though, it brought to mind some great memories. If my summer memories as a […]

[In Memoriam] RHW Update
This is a follow-up post to “Father. Friend. Never Forgotten.” I was determined to right things and find out where my dear friend is buried. I went to the cemetery and asked a person in the office to help me find the plot. It was a kind of freaky experience. Just setting foot into the […]

[Simply Seattle] Step by Step
(Edit: Thank you Heather for correcting me!) Five years ago I became smitten with Seattle. It took more than 4 years to return. The first time we did some typical touristy things — toured Pike Place Market, took pictures and had dinner at the Space Needle, cruised the Locks, visited the aquarium and jammed at […]

[26] Stop, Sausage Thief!
When I was growing up, all I ever heard about was the things that used to happen — before I was born. For instance, they’d always go to the beach and go different places. My mom would buy all the good stuff, back in the day when things were cheaper and my mom wasn’t as […]
