A Bit of Chinese Wisdom

"The spontaneous gifts of Heaven are of high va]ue; but the strength of perseverance gains the prize. "

(Or a nobler translation of a Crazy Monday at work, LOL). Here's hoping that Tuesday will be a bit more calm...

Loads of Fun Weekend

Between juggling laundry, DirecTV satellite guy, house repair guy and one moment alone? Party on, dudes! (OK, it won't be THAT bad, but didn't that sound interesting?)

Have a good weekend everyone!

Just a little political humor

OK, I have voted for the 2008 presidential election with my absentee mail-in ballot. But in order not to upset anyone, I won't say who I voted for. Anyway, here's my attitude right now. Irreverent, yes. But inaccurate, probably not. Today, I tend to agree with the late, great comedian George Carlin and a couple of his quotes, listed below.

"Well, if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part to us, do they?"

"These days many politicians are demanding change. Just like homeless people."

I hope everyone's having a good week. Hang in there, the election's over next month...

Benjamin Button Movie Trailer

I just finished reading F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and I am really looking forward to when the movie starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett will be released in December. It looks like a memorable story, and it's already generated early Oscar buzz for Brad Pitt's dynamic performance. Here's the link to it. Enjoy!

It's A Blustery Friday

Wow, the wind has been fierce today...and ironically the sun is also shining. The weather got cold in a hurry. Hope everyone's day has been good and here comes the weekend! Here's wishing you all a good couple of days off.

Dabbling in a new medium...

...of sorts actually. Still short-story writing, but now writing about another show besides Star Trek. Kind of under wraps at the moment, since I'm still experimenting with it. But it is encouraging that I'm trying to think "outside the box" for now. Anyway, it's a good start to a new week!

Stay Dry!

Especially to those in northern California, as we are getting some (much needed) rain and will continue to get it until Saturday night. Drive safely and have a good weekend everyone!
