First of all, big ups to Stephanie for making that long trek down from Oside last night to join me at Cane’s in PB. Good job, trooper!!!
Pretty much last minute, I decided to try to rally some troops to head down to Canes to see little brother. Nobody knew who I was talking about… [...]

The Weekend Update

Monday, August 29th, 2005

Saturday started off with a celebration – Tairah’s 10th birthday party, where all the children where magically transformed into little Smurfs. There’s only so much of a crap load of 10 year olds that you can take. Needless to say, I stayed for the cake and then I bounced. The cake, a beautiful [...]

Thursday, August 25th, 2005

So, in my unrelentless battle of the bulge, my kind sister suggested the comical idea of giving up foods that are Deep Fried. In turn, I told Kelly of my sister’s evil scheme, and here’s her Deep Fried rationalization:

Monday, August 15th, 2005

Dans un effort de pratiquer parler français, j’ai décidé de créer une entrée chaque semaine qui sera complètement en français. Bonne chance avec le traduction.
Ce week-end passé, je suis allé à Newport Beach avec ma meilleur ami Jonathan et sa famille . Ils ont loyé un grande maison pour leur réunion de famille . [...]

The Gap Ad Gone Wrong (click to enlarge)
Today, Jonathan turns 23. It’s hard to believe that I’m older than him, sometimes… albeit only 5 months. He’s the older, more responsible party. It’s been good having him home this past month, but he’s off to Paris again on Sunday… lucky bastard. Good news [...]

Pot Holders and Oven Mitts

My mom makes this bomb ass Corned Beef Casserole. We were talking about it this weekend… so I stole one of her casserole dishes and decided to make it myself. It’s pretty basic – elbow macaroni, corned beef, cheese, cream of chicken soup, bread, and butter. So [...]
