Something was gelling- with Jelly’s murder, with that guy Joe that Beth didn’t even know, heck, even with the poobar incident.
There was a long line at Delfina’s of folks waiting to get seated, and the nattily dressed twentysomethings at the bar were getting noisier with each mojito they drank.
“I guess we should free up [...]
Walking back from the theater the other night my friend and I stopped in a Chinatown tea house to sample some tea for free. (Vital Tea Leaf). As these things usually go I’m a huge sucker and end up buying something. I bought some of the best tasting tea I’ve ever had. It looks like [...]
Beth placed long, white jade earrings against her neck. They were $200 dollars in this Chinatown store- and she could talk them down some- but she wanted them. She had a meeting with Mac. He had told her he recognized some folks in the photos from Jelly’s machine. She wasn’t ready to talk to him [...]
Things I appreciate about Baltimore, at least what I’ve seen of it, which isn’t a lot. These great deciduous woods. And how there’s a reason to look like someone from an LL Bean catalog- I mean, it’s cold there. Really cold. Burn the tip of your nose with freezing wind, cold. The interesting accent: “Li-uh-ih-uh-lee” [...]
There were huge layoffs at my day job, and I sat around with some coworkers afterwards at Kennedy’s and bemoaned the fate of friends who had lost their job. In a way, I wondered if our survivor status was ironic, and they were the ones that got new opportunities and better placements by being forced [...]
I love reading the metrics reports on this site. I always have. I had a high on 11/10: 141 pages loaded, 45 unique visitors, and 5 returns.
One random post about nude ladies in my gym locker room is the result of a query “Nude+ Gym” … and is the result of a search about [...]
His mom, Esther, with the spread of food- tacos were a big hit, and lasagna.
Drove down to Cupertino today to attend Andrew Martinez’s Memorial. He actually died in May, but this was the press & “other friends” memorial, held on his birthday. There had been some issue about how the media had portrayed him, not [...]
Wrote about Andrew’s death, and my memories of him, here. Got an email from a friend that the public memorial is this Sunday, in Cupertino. “The memorial is set for 2 to 5 p.m. at Rancho Rinconada Recreation Center, 18000 Chelmsford Drive, Cupertino.”
Also, memorial for my friend’s father, a very talented man, who died last [...]
Breaking news… got an SMS from the Real Jelly (she’s aliiiiiive!) about how she’s in Target, and saw our friend’s book for sale.
The book? “This Is Not Chick Lit”. The friend? Elizabeth (link to the right on blogroll). Oh so many feelings… pride! Go Beth! Sadness… are we the women in curlers roaming the aisles, [...]
I live very, very close to Trader Joe’s. I haven’t won the bag raffle yet. What gives? Has my luck turned?? Anyways, a friend came over the other night and I made my “dinner in a bowl” - well, actually stolen from my sister- it’s the green thai dish below- and I realized, it [...]
