Jacqui posted a link, who in turn linked from Mellissa/wynk, to a Handwriting Wizard. I was doing some routine layout work so I took the test too. Its free and it only takes 5 minutes. It was a fun read and I agree with the results, it was actually pretty accurate. [...]

I was @ work last week, listening to nada ’cause the iPod was dead… and I happen to hear my co-worker describing a member of our organization to her peer. She says “You know, she’s one of those Orientals or something…” I’m no Asian Activist(?) Rights Lobbyist or anything, but I’ve heard some pretty [...]

You know, I used to be one of those people that feel like they always need to “get out” and “breakaway” (thx rho). I do plan on moving somewhere with beautiful weather, pleasant people, good and cheap eats and a solid music scene… but that can wait. Granted, I have always been ready [...]

It was a Friday afternoon and I was incredibly hungry, but I didn’t want leftovers because I was traveling over the weekend. Soo, I found a can of tuna and built the meal from there. Note: Albacore is sashimi-quality tuna that is found in most food shops and is bled-blast frozen and [...]

So I was crusin’ Anandtech’s Hot Deals when I stumbled on this nugget of joy.
This is what Moochadime had to say about his GE Toaster Oven:

I want a girl who will laugh for no one else.
When I’m away she puts her makeup on the shelf.
When I’m away she never leaves the house.
I want a girl who laughs for no one else.
No one else, yeah!

It seems as though if you don’t have AIM, I have no reason to be your friend Using it allows me to keep in touch with people close by, and more importantly far away ** cough Jacqs and Alice **
If you use AIM, you’ll see yourself checking people’s AIM info [...]

All it takes is a Hallmark Holiday and a container of some old Orange Chicken (from Great Wall) to ruin a perfectly planned weekend. I was supposed to go to Milwaukee this weekend with Jorge to meet up with the ever-so-loveable Jayne, Drew and Andy. I had an extra 1200 laying around [...]

The latest entry in Amuse Bouche has an entry about Kylie Kwong, an Australian-Chinese chef. I’ve been watching the online archives on her website here (.rm file ). Check it out, its really informative. She does do the “Chinese” twist on many famous dishes, but its not overpowering and unnecessary (read: [...]

After 2 straight days of database training… I’m burnt out. But it was worth it. I was going to comment on the amount of coffee and Coke/Pepsi I’ve consumed over this time just to stay awake… but there are more pressing issues to attend to….
Other than me being too lazy to rotate [...]
