happy birthday to

MOM!!!! Just called my mama to wish her a happy birthday. Couldn’t talk too long as my throat hurts again. Free lunch tomorrow at Catch. There is however, a catch: we have to listen to a pitch from a financial planner. In related news: pitchers and catchers reported today to spring training. In unrelated news, […]

Yesterday I went to Giants Fanfest. It was free, as always, but this time was at the ballpark. Last year it was in a large warehouse across the cove. They should move it back to the warehouse. You see, concourse areas at ballparks are very narrow. And normally, thousands of people aren’t moving around in […]

Looks like I might get to keep this icon after all! Though I might have to change the hat. But still! Yay! Fingers crossed. I miss baseball.

My next research project is to find the names of common house plants. My favorite ones so far happen to be for two plants I actually own: monstera delicioso, and the spider plant. Today I didn’t do much except write. The sun won’t come out here. I looked over my shoulder every once in awhile […]

saturn day

All the front windows are covered with opaque plastic sheets. Can’t see a thing outside. Ugh. Our already dim apartment becomes even dimmer; it feels like November in here.

free speech

Last night we went to the A’s – Tigers game in Oakland, and the A’s managed a 5-3 win. Hooray! The game was sold out, probably because of the holiday and the fireworks afterward. Before the national anthem, there was a video on the big screen of this Army soldier whose truck had recently hit […]

+ I am in my new cubicle. Boy have I been spoiled for the past five years. This lack of privacy is going to make me a lot more productive. I guess that’s good. + Today I pre-ordered two re-issued Spoon CDs. They come out next month. + I think I have an ending for […]
