Ping.fm is pretty convenient… for now. We’ll see how this works.

4th of July

Happy Fourth of July!
I was supposed to go to the National Mall with Musubichan to watch Barry Manilow and Aretha Franklin, but she changed our plans–I should feel lucky, actually. Instead we are having her friends over for a BBQ. While it means more work, it also means less walking around the Mall, which can [...]

Eating Disorder

Wow, I haven’t been here in about three months. This is not a good thing as this is THE place where I keep up my writing skills, meager as they are…
Anyway, I’ve come to realize that I must have an eating disorder with regard to timing. Last night at dinner, I was eating some stir-fried [...]

Random Thoughts

I am still adjusting to tweeting on Twitter. Most seem to write about their everyday life–I going to lunch, I worked out today, I’m meeting a friend for drinks tonight. I started to do something similar, but I am unsure if other people want to know or even care about the minutiae of my everyday [...]

Happy Spring

My thoughts for today:

Dear Mr. President. Hah! So there! UCLA 65, VCU 64… okay, so it was close…
I am even more livid with AIG and the economic crisis after reading an article on Rolling Stone Magazine that outlines how it started, how we got here, what the mind set of Wall Street is, and ultimately [...]

I’m such a Twit

I had heard of Twitter quite a while ago when the people at RBJ began tweeting–I think that’s the verb–with each other. I resisted. I swore that I have enough sites to my name at places like Blogger, Hotmail, Aim, RBJ, LiveJournal, WordPress, Nutang, CafePress (yes! buy Onigiriman goods!), Flickr, Shutterfly, YouTube, MySpace, Flickster, Technorati, [...]

Obama’s (non) State of the Union Address

It is customary for a president to be seated for a year before he gives a State of the Union Address, so Obama’s speech last night was not really a State of the Union. Even though the talking heads on TV treated it as such–my poison is MSNBC–it wasn’t. It was more like the Hopeful [...]

25 Random Things

There’s this list going around Facebook and I’ve been tagged a couple of times to do it. It’s been awhile since I’ve done a list so I thought I’d comply. Many may already know the contents of the list below, but I will try to include new facts without being too gross.
“Once you’ve been tagged, [...]

Speaking Japanese

When speaking Japanese, non-native speakers need to remember to be polite.
Most languages have at last two levels of speech. In general, they are formal and informal. In the US, this is especially true in business. You call people Mister, unless told otherwise. You speak and act politely, unless you become very familiar with your superior. [...]
