With the holidays actually here, I’m feeling a lot less stress today than I have at the start of this week. For some reason, I’ve been worried by all the things that have to happen (personally, work-wise, travel-wise). I don’t know why it’s made me feel antsy, but it has. And I’m happy to say …
There are a lot of secrets. But here’s one of them: ride tricycles as often as you can.
Ben stopped in today with his boy, Emmett. He’s a great kid, and a ton of fun to hang out with. The two of them were getting their hair cut today. Ben went first (so he could be there while Emmett got his hair cut. During that time, Emmett hung out with me and a …
There’s a Secret Santa exchange over at WOT. Anonymously, each person got a gift from another forum member. Lots of great gifts, passing hands. Turns out Grumpy was the one who got me gifts, and check this out: Awwww yeah! This rocks! Thanks, Grumpy!
Thanks to rypunked, I’ve been listening to Mojave 3 more and more and more, lately. Sometime late yesterday or today, Prayer for the Paranoid became the newest song that I’ve been looping incessantly. For those that know me, I tend to succomb to a particular song in a really compulsive sort of way. I’ll wind …
After work, I hopped a cab and got out around Justin’s neighborhood. I stopped off at Dave’s house, and gave him his present. It’s been a long while since I’ve hung out with Dave, and I feel like either work or my own introversion has gotten the better of me lately. Like me, Dave is …
Today, I brought in all the gifts I had to work and passed stuff around. Despite tomorrow being a full work day, today felt like the last real day before the holidays kick in. Everyone’s getting out around noon on Wednesday, so today felt like the time to give everyone their presents. At the end …
I’m making all my updates now through TextPad. It’s helped me get used to looking directly at code, and the more I do it… the more comfortable I get. But right now, I still feel clunky. Through Dreamweaver, I could see what my pages looked like as I typed. Having that visual reference, I ceased …
A slight excerpt from the Cat Town site: Q. WHY ARE YOU USING ALL-CAPS, THAT IS CONSIDERED SHOUTING ON THE INTERNET AND IS RUDEA. I AM NOT SHOUTING, YOU’RE THE ONE WHO’S SHOUTING Thanks to audrey for this link.
Woke up this morning and picked up Justin and Emma. They were off to do some last minute shopping this morning, and I gave them the use of my car for the day. We had a great meal at DeMarr’s, and on the way back home, I picked up a bunch of wrapping paper for …
I emded up not going to a party that Cathie invited me to this evening. I thought perhaps my mood might havechanged, but whatever I got yesterday has more or less continued. I feel bad since my only reason is “Gee, I can’t really bearound people right now.” Slow, introverted sort of day today (minus …
I woke up (semi) early, made a big list of who I was buying for and what I hoped to get them. I stepped out ofthe door a little after 10:00 AM. All in all, traffic was heavy, but not horrific. Traffic’s always bad on the weekends,so I guess I didn’t see too much worse …
Something about today. I’ve been feeling really quiet, and really withdrawn. It felt like I was looking at everything and everyone from an additional five feet away. A bunch of us went to Portillo’s for lunch, and while I was there… I didn’t really participate in much of the conversations. Tony was visiting, and I …
I go Christmas shopping. Because I haven’t done ANY shopping yet. I’m waking up early, and hitting the stores with a commando type list. I hope to be as surgical as possible. In and out. Yes, yes. I know. 19.000 other people are thinking the exact same fucking thing. I’m so totally doomed.
So I took procrastination to a whole new, professional fucking level today. I’ve been remiss in my Secret Santa gift (a bunch of us on WOT are swapping presents), and only put mine in the mail today. To top things off, I promised Rasta I’d send him an old game of mine a good two …
Felix's Chinese name is Wei Tien. For the longest time, he thought his name meant "very sky." But he later found out it roughly translated to "Preserver of Heaven."
Felix was in show choir in high school. He can still pull out the old "jazz hands" if need be, due in no small part to muscle memory.
Every once in a while, Felix has some interesting run-ins with other Asians. At times, they're armed with cameras; at other times, he has the slight feeling that they might be armed, period.
