Shake Rattle and Roll

Thursday, December 21st, 2006

I think I just felt my first San Francisco earthquake (where I was awake and in a place where I felt it)! I missed one a while back because I was on the bus and didn’t recognize it as anything other than bumps in the road! Looks like a 3.7 out of Berkeley. Whee!!! And [...]

Can’t wait to have time for this…

Tuesday, December 19th, 2006

Even though I haven’t really shopped at Borders since moving to S.F., I racked up quite a bit of holiday credit with their Borders reward program. Add that to the 40% off one DVD box set coupon and 20% off additional box sets sale, and I scored Justice League 1, Justice League 2 and Justice [...]

Office Party

Tuesday, December 19th, 2006

Today was fun. I started a three-day professional development course in website maintenance. This afternoon, we also had our office holiday party, which culminated in the end of our non-demoninational anonymous gift exchange (fomerly known as “secret santa”). Anyway, my only day officially in the office this week is Thursday, and that day is packed [...]

It’s beginning to look a lot like…

Sunday, December 17th, 2006

This has been a pretty low-key weekend, all things considered. I thought about heading to the theater to see Eragon, but then I figured it could wait until I’m in Utah next weekend and I could go with the family. Friday night I got sushi with Jennifer and Daniel, then we went to Toronado. We [...]

Ranty Late Night Ravings.

Friday, December 15th, 2006

The power of three, I suppose. The first time I heard this “argument” was in a court decision out of NY related to marriage equality. The second time, it came from the mouth of Harriet on Studio 60. Now I just read it in the comments of a queer person on a queer-themed blog. Why [...]

Hump Day

Thursday, December 14th, 2006

This is the week of many birthdays in my family (brother, sister and niece within 2 days, Mom last week). I think I’m forgetting someone, too. I have managed to make the phone calls, but that’s a rare achievment for me. There’s a lot I’d love to blog about from the last few days … [...]

Talk about committing to a role…

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

I don’t care. He could smell like fish and speak like Donald Duck. I’d still make out with him.

A Homo on Heroes – pt. 2

Monday, December 11th, 2006

Following up on my earlier news regarding Heroes and the character of Zach, Tim Kring wrote to AfterElton.com with these words of apology: I am very sorry this has caused concern for the readers of your website. It was certainly not our intention to confuse the issue of Zach’s character being gay. We have too [...]

Deepak off the deep end

Monday, December 11th, 2006

I feel like I’m personally engaged in a debate with Deepak Chopra. He’s been writing this series of blogs on HuffingtonPost.com attacking atheism and (specifically, repeatedly) Richard Dawkins… and this is the third time I’ve felt compelled to write in and mock his inability to make a point without embarrassing himself. Today’s special gem: But [...]

Is it morning already?

Monday, December 11th, 2006

Okay, so it’s going to be an interesting day. Insomnia has struck again. I finally fell asleep at 3:30 a.m., but somehow woke all the way up less than an hour later. I’ve been lying in bed, completely awake for about 20 minutes now. I don’t know if I want to try and catch a [...]
