ah, the weather is so nice in L.A.–I passed a sign yesterday that said the temperature was 81 degrees..woe is me.Traveling out here was ridiculous. My flight was at 8:12am and I arrived promptly at the airport at 6:15am. I was able to check my bags in quickly through the self-service e-ticket line…but then I turned around and saw the horrendous line to get through security. It was like we were at Disney land. The line wrapped around the entire corridor and zig zagged twice. By the time I went through security, I had forgotten I had 2 quarters in my pocket and set off the metal detector. I was…

Ah, last day of work before finally taking off for the holidays. The last two weeks have been stressful and crazy. This week alone, being oncall, has been rather hard. I got paged 2 nights ago at 3am and worked until 6:30am…which didn’t help the creeping cold that I now have. But alas, it’s all over now..hopefully. Okay, enough about work.Thomas finally got back from his business trip last week–it’s good to have him around again. It’s so comforting to know that someone cares for you and will take care of you. I have to say I’m quite content right now.It seems like a few of my friends have embarked…

saw ocean’s eleven sunday night with justin which i really enjoyed. they didn’t stick to the original movie but they didn’t bastardize it–they made it better. see, the beauty of the original was because it was a rat pack movie (perhaps one of the first) but the storyline was fairly simple for such a complicated robbery. the remake modernized everything. what i liked most was that they kept a lot of major elements of the original and twisted it so it still captured the essence: the idea of shutting off the electricity, the heart attack, the boxing match, etc.

Just got back from Crystal Mountain where I had my first run of the season—boy, it felt great. Snowboarding came back to me a lot faster than I expected…it helped that Justin was learning to snowboard so I could board conservatively next to him. But by the end of the day, the whole big group of us all went down together from the top, including Justin…so it was awesome. The snow was a little packed so conditions weren’t optimal…but there was a ton of snow and it was a lot of fun. I love being out in the snowy mountains during this time of year—it’s so beautiful. It definitely confirms…

man, i’ve barely had time to myself this week. i was hoping to really get going on my Christmas cards this week and it just hasn’t happened. I’m so frustrated—-see, normally I like to print out a picture and insert it into some of my cards..especially for friends that I haven’t seen in awhile..with my coolio printer for my faboo digital pictures. I finally ran out of ink and whipped out, proudly, my backup new print cartridge–only to find out that that the freakin’ blue ink is messed up. I have no choice but to go out and buy a new cartridge. Makes me mad. I bought that cartridge eons…

i get sick a lot. I’ve been sick for the last week or so. i had a bad head cold…and just as i was getting better, i got a flu shot. now i think i’m sick from that cuz’ i’m just achy and weak and have constant headaches..plus, my throat kills me.this last week, i started holidizing my apartment for the first time ever–it’s actually a lot of fun. got a small little fake xmas tree and have been stringing up lights and boughs of fake holly.work has been crazy…maybe that’s why i’m sick…i’ve been so stressed out. hopefully, this week will start calming down.javier beamed me a few games…
