NaBloPoMo – #30 “And the Battle is OVAR!”

National Blog Posting Month is over! Whew, that was quite the battle! It was definitely hard to come up with something interesting every single day in November. My 30-day whittling plan was met by the unfortunate bloody thumb incident, the PlayStation 3 launch, the Wii Launch, and Thanksgiving. Here’s a [...]

NaBloPoMo – #29 My Favorite Joke Since I was 11

Q: Who was the head knight of King Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table?

A: Sir Cumfrence.
Bbwwaaahahahahahhaaa-ing in real life right now. I cannot even begin fathom my weird inherent love for mathematics. Man, it still gets me after all these years. Hah!

NaBloPoMo – #28 Nothing Lasts Forever…IN THE COLD NOVEMBER RAIN

Eff yeah.
Speaking of roses, I spent two hours at Border’s today, reading wedding resource books and art reference books to harvest some rad ideas for my wedding invitations. Being crafty (in the artsy way, not the Beastie Boys way) and all, people are expecting the invitations to be so glorious that preons will explode [...]

NaBloPoMo – #27 “Teh” Aftermath

The whole Black Friday Best Buy thing became bigger than I thought. Was it worth it? Was it worth Digg commentors branding me as a racist, rude, unacceptable, fat, bitchy person? Was it worth waiting outside the Best Buy store at 2AM in the shivering cold? Was it worth out-scheming the [...]

NaBloPoMo – #26 How To Really Say “I Love You” to Someone Who Has Played Nothing But Viva Pinata

Carnivorous Creations is this DIY mini-bog where you can grow over 10 varieties of carnivorous plants (via Digg).  I don’t know about you, but screw Zales, Kay or any other shittastic mall jewelry store–this is the way to get into a geek girl’s heart.  Especially when her apartment has a lot of mini-moths.  Realistically, the [...]

NaBloPoMo – #25 Oh, internetz

I reposted my Best Buy story on my 1UP blog and people went bonkers. It was even on Digg’s front page for a little while. Though the majority of my 1UP blog comments were positive, I was disheartened by the fact that the Digg comments were not only negative, but rather nasty. [...]

NaBloPoMo – #24 San Francisco Best Buy Black Friday War Wounds

So I just got back from the Black Friday event at the San Francisco Best Buy. We were in line by 2:00AM. By “line”, I really mean a chaotic goop of 300+ young Asian FOB people (including me, technically) with some white people sprinkled into the mix. But because the ethnic majority there have little [...]

NaBloPoMo – #22 Gee, thanks God.

It’s okay that I’ve endured another tumultuous work day. I’m still alive. Barely, but still alive.
So how great was it to come back home to PJ and the fantastic roast he was going to cook for dinner tonight? Er, great but his efforts were overshadowed by this:

Oh hooray. The shower animal [...]

NaBloPoMo – #21 Here’s one thing I’m not thankful for:

November’s work load.
I had a strange day at work. Battling egos, tedious tasks, and never-ending deadlines. These past weeks have been pretty rough on me, and I’m still too stubborn to trade in my personal fun time for staying late at work. So I end up staying late at work, staying late [...]
