[16] I Wanna Be Free
Today is a sad day for me. It seems like I’m always the learning of news — bad news — later than the rest of the world. I had been in a meeting. I got back to my desk and checked my Twitter feed on my phone. Then I read a Tweet from a local […]

[Big Tintin’] Staying Cool All-Year Long
A couple of years ago, I purchased my first car on my own. It was the most expensive purchase I had ever made, so I wanted only the best for her. Since I live in SoCal, the sun’s always out. So getting my new baby tinted was the first thing on my mind. I wanted […]
[15] I Want to Ride My Bicycle, I Want to Ride My Bike
Click on the following link if you need audio: Bicycle Race — Queen. My first bike was pretty fantastic. It was red with white handlebars. It had a soft horn. And it had this plate where it looked like you were supposed to write your name on it. I am not sure, though, because it was […]
I’ve Got Your Back(pack)
I don’t mean to brag, but I am a *great* gift giver (one of my most redeeming qualities IMHO). I’m also kinda geeky, especially when it comes to technology. So, when the man’s birthday was coming up over the horizon, I had to rack my brain to see what totally awesome, fantastic gift I could […]
[14] Whitney Houston in My Dumber Years
The death of a celebrity doesn’t usually have an impact on me. I did not know them nor really admire them. Sure, I feel sad, but the sadness never punched me. Then it did yesterday. And I will never forget it. My bf and I had been at the movies, so my phone was off […]
Iconic Bionic
Technology pretty much changes in the blink of an eye, so I figured now is a better time than ever to gush over my constant confidant – my Droid Bionic. When it came time to upgrade my phone, there were plenty of options. Since I had the original Droid, anything was going to be a […]
Garlic? No. GarLIKE!
If you’re a garlic lover like me, then you need to add the Kuhn Rikon Epicurean Garlic Press to your kitchen tool arsenal. I put garlic in nearly everything I cook. I mean, if I could, I’d probably move to Gilroy just so I can live in the garlic capital. As much as I love it, […]
EVOO for the Eco Cheapo
Cooking at home may be the more cost-effective and healthier way to go, but sometimes the things you need do not come cheap. For me, I use Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO — as Rachel Ray usually refers to it) in just about everything I cook. It’s light, healthy, but can really hit you in your […]
[13] Oh Snap! I’ve got the Power!
Looking back, I think cartoons really do rot kids’ brains. Cartoons were pretty much the only form of entertainment I had. But when I did go out, I guess in some ways I tried to re-enact what I saw in my own, less than intelligent way. I must’ve been 5 or so when what I […]

[Sweet Seattle] A Chocolatey Journey
With Valentine’s Day being just under 2 weeks away, I thought I’d blog about chocolate. Up until a few months ago, I thought I knew everything about chocolate — it comes from a cacao plant and brightens my day when I seek it out. While I wasn’t a big fan of chocolate, any chocolate made […]
