It's been a long while since I've posted, mostly because of lack of inspiration. Then i lowered my standards, and now here I am. OK, no more fecitiousness. Is that even a word?So, I came across this video and had a thought:I think this is an excellent fashion concept, but a sadly pedestrian execution. No pun intended. And I really want to know what about a hero's cape is illegal, and illegal

Went to Babies R Us today. My very good friend and his wife are expecting. I was rather dissapointed to see many teenagers with their mothers, moms working on their 3rd and 4th (and obviously unhappy)... le sigh. Aren't we populated enough? Is there a general consensus that perhaps one of many children will be able to become a prodilogical musician or artist, and fund the whole family?I suppose

Chloe won. That should put her in a great mood for her upcoming surgery. When, you ask? Sometime between now and May 17th. I'll keep you posted.In the meantime, keep an eye out for the front page of www.BadKnitGirls.com - and Chloe's month long stay as Bad Knit Girl royalty.

It'll be a HUGE boon to the store*, as they will devote a whole page to her for the entire month of May.Be sure to tell all of your friends and family to vote too.Also be sure to

"Chloe, 29, promotes the hipper appeal of knitting just by showing up at Purlescence Yarns, the Sunnyvale store she opened in 2006 with two partners. Sporting a mohawk hairstyle and tattoos, Chloe describes herself as "the antithesis of the perceived image" of a knitter.As a shop owner who's passionate about craftsmanship and fiber arts, she senses immediate acceptance by like-minded knitters and

I wanted to take this small opportunity to thank two very special people. I've thanked many things in my lifetime, whether that be with a simple exchange of words to that unknown entity when a little something goes right for me, to that monumental "thank you" when my wife said "yes".Tomorrow is Valentines Day, and I would like to share some heartfelt sentiment with two very cool chicks.

I am having all four of my wisdon teeth removed this Friday. The 26th. I'm taking the day off of work, so a small Asian man can put his hands in my mouth with a pair of pliers and yank out part of my head.I am not looking forward to it.

Ok. So as soon as it went up, it is now down. I've decided that to remain on the outskirts of gauche, I must remove my overly gorpy wish list. (ask me personally fo the definition of "gorpy").

I suppose i should spend more time writing when I'm thoroughly content. Like most humans, when there is conflict, the brain reacts. In my case, these head butts spurned trails of meandering thought that result in some modicum of coherent text that i don't mind sharing.

I have shamelessly added my Amazon.com wishlist to the "linkness" on the right. ->I only have one more comment: If you by chance want to buy me a comic book from the list, don't. Tell Chloe, and she will get her "hot chick" discount from our local comic book store. The books are merely in the list for reference. :D

As my buddy Ryan would say, "Yeah... Well."Yeah, well indeed. A lot of life happened between then and now. Chloe is still on the mend, and we both are looking forward to our next trip back to the SupperClub. I promised pictures, so will simply let them do the talking.Some preface:SupperClub is a nightclub/bed. I don't know how other to put it. Imagine a bordello designed by the masters at IKEA.

After nearly three months of recovery, sprinkled with soreness and all-out pain, it seemed that Chloe's comfort wasn't improving much after the extensive surgery. She went back for a full exam, and they discovered some new developments in the same region.A cyst had developed on Chloe's left ovary; this one twice the size of its host. The shape was irregular, so extra fluid was suspected to be

This is the first part of likely many. Dinner has bloated me and i can't go on.Last weekend, i went with some friends, old and new, to a San Francisco venue called "SupperClub." What a restaurant. The food was a 3 of 5, but the event was a 5.The limo arrived behind us like a government agent on the trail of his first kill, or like a shark sleekly and almost nonchalantly stalking a box fish.

We did it. Our previous lease was officially up, and we have moved into our new joint in downtown San Jose.A few boxes remain. They contain mostly pictures. As it turns out, we lost roughly 200 square feet. That's a lot of wall space. I'm thinking we'll start hanging the frames from the ceiling.

I worked out tonight. An hour and a half. I know tonight I'll sleep fine, and wake up chipper with a chubby scary enough to cause my wife to jealously interrogate me on who i was writhing with in my dreams. Tomorrow during the day I'll question my efforts as it'll feel like I did nothing. Two days from now, in the early afternoon, I'll get up from my desk to drink some green tea, and i wont be

These past two weeks I've been slowly drifting off the weight loss trail, and my flab has decided to latch on to my bones like a pitbull on a dogcatcher's tit. Thus far I've dropped over 40lbs, and have leveled out. I think this first plateau is going to be tougher to get through than a high school gym class, and those fat cells are going to mock me every step of the way. 60 more to go to reach

I've never been as relieved as I am today. We went in a whole woman, and we left a whole woman (albeit with three tiny holes). More later, but now it's time to tend to the wife. Time for that big sigh.

Chloe is having surgery after all. We were hoping that the medication and antibiotics would do the trick, but it seems that the infection's kung fu is much too strong. They have to go in and drain the abscesses. The infection is so bad, the doctors say, that more may need to be removed but it's unknown how much until they're actually inside with the camera and scalpul.We've been prepared for the

It seems more often than not, these days anything out of my mouth is a downer. I'm simply a reminder that life doesn't always go your way. I'm the stink of a refuse depot neighboring a water reclamation plant. It's not so bad...Chloe mentioned recently that her favorite phrase is one that invokes all your senses - "hot garbage."Feel it with me: the stench of a wet summer relentlessly pummeling

I rarely have felt helpless. I have recently, and still do. My wife can explain much better than i can.

It's amazing to me how much your life outside of work is affected directly by it. I didn't sleep very well last night. Was this because my wife is sick, or because I am concerned about a friend whose mother recently passed? No. I couldn't sleep because our release date may be postponed due to a last-minute reproduced error.In the grander scheme of things, things like this shouldn't affect me at

I recently have become obsessed with riding my bike. I'm on it almost daily now, and as a result have dropped just over 30lbs. Being as big as i was to start off with, 30lbs is only a small fraction of the mass i need to lose, and was hardly noticeable... that is until my marathon sex session with the wife. (Moms- you can stop reading this blog now. I'll make sure the next post is rated "G".) It

The regiment is working. One day i woke up and decided it was time to exercise. This is after about 10 years, mind you.So after the first 2.5 weeks i'm down 12lbs.The first few days were from a mapped out guide to beginner's runnning. That idea was shot after the third time out because it now feels like my knees are going to explode like a whitehead. It'll have to be biking from now on.Once i get

There's some sort of entity in my apartment, with a pair of shears. I'm serious here. It has an infatuation with trimming my cat's tail, and then arranging it out symmetrically on the floor as if it's laying railroad ties. This is the second time it's happened, and when both my wife and I were present.I noticed Kaga was in the small washroom (it's a closet with a washer and dryer, really). He

I saw Pan's Labyrinth.I enjoyed it thoroughly, but not nearly as much as cheese or sex. (Don't worry, I rarely if ever mix the two. You'd think for as much as i like both I'd be eating wifey nachos every night, but it turns out I go into sensory overload and implode. That's not as painful as it sounds, but it's still a bit disorientating to pull myself back from the 5th dimension.)This film

Here's a straight-forward post. Nothing clever. Nothing to have you relish in deep thought for hours. Be warned if you're expecting a laugh. I finally caught John Carpenter's first flick, Dark Star. I enjoyed it. Going into it with the expectation to see a college film, i was actually pleasantly surprised.There are a number of scenes that have me wondering why they are not any more iconic. Like

Not my best finish (2 of 430), but definitely the bigge$t win. I could get used to this. It's not retirement money, but i'm yet to take a risk and buy in for more than $3.

With a quick email, i invited a couple of old friends out to dinner in Los Gatos. There's a chow joint i've been intending to sample down there for quite some time, called "California Cafe." Funny how alliteration makes the name sound clever, yet "West Coast Restaurant" is equally as generic a title.There were three generations of white Los Gatosians huddling outside the front entrance, blocking

A few updates:I saw the Shining at a midnight showing in downtown San Jose. Good stuff. This "going out" concept has to be re-introduced slowly, but ogling hot chicks for most of the evening pushes enough incentive to get me off my ass and out of the house. It really does feel good to be alive. I know I'm alive because my penis tells me so. Hooray to cleavage, and hooray to my penis.The show had

Since "Hell Week" a number of things have happened in my head. I'm still trying to get them all in a row so i can figure out what's going on. There are issues that i've never even comtemplated comtemplating that have pushed their way to the forefront. Like "do i like Granny Smith or Pippin apples more?" Or something a close friend said to my wife when she opened her store; "If you make a career

So i finally felt well enough to head back into work on Wednesday. I was still under a significant amount of pain and discomfort, but the doctor provided drugs that really softened the blow. I popped the pills after stopping for a couple of Breakfast Jacks.After my boss found out the perscription i was on, he asked me to hide in my cube and not to post anything publicly on our corporate webboard.

Yesterday my internal clock woke me up around 7:30. I pretended to sleep in for a while longer, and then like i would on any other Sunday, plopped down at my computer to check some email and get an hour or so of video games in before i started my day. By 12 noon i found myself in the emergency room fearing a heart attack.I'm 30, much too young to be worrying about this sort of thing. I sat in

Early in the morning, i can feel the kittens climbing up the side of the bed and tugging at the comforter. They slowly make thier way up to our heads, purring softly and being oh so cutesey. "Meeyowr."They prod at my face, purring and burying thier heads into my chest and shoulders. Their masks of black fur, their white whiskers jutting out like silken threads, and thier dirty assholes exposed

My kittens are damned cute. I hate them. I'm not much of a cat guy, but i can't resist their tactical cuteness - taking the indirect path to my heart.For example, the velociraptor attack - when they clench down on your hand and wrist with their teeth and front paws, while they attempt to gut your forearm by slicing at you repeatedly with razor sharp thrusting rear kicks. Most would be prone to

So i won't.The food was good, and i need to find the baker because the cake kicked arse.I'm glad i finally got to know Kim's friend Millie a bit better, that's one rad chick.

Opening day for wifey's store was awesome. There were no fewer than 20 people in the store for the whole 6 hours I was there.

At this very moment, Total Recall is playing on my new 46" HDTV. It's hard to believe that the director of this film is the same man behind the ultimate camp classic, Showgirls. It's also hard to believe that i own both of these films on DVD, considering the film buff i think i am.

My wife tells me that i have an interesting take on things. It's good to know that at least one quality i have is engaging, otherwise i don't have much of an idea why she would settle for someone like me. "Someone like me," being an ogre with a view on the world that ends at my glasses sitting on my nose. Until very recently, i thought that when someone called me "incorrigible," it meant that i

I am the recent, and proud father of two rediculous kittens. They've already put more holes in me than there are in the Jon Benet Ramsey case.Naming them has been a challenge, as i also am the proud husband to an equally rediculous , yet groundingly realistic woman. She wouldn't go for my original plan, of dynamically naming one "Kitty," and the other one, "The Other One." Since i'm destined to
