A Delayed Realization…

Those of you who’ve been to my place in Emeryville know that I had a decent amount of kitchenware (pots, pans, dishes, glasses, etc). When I was packing all this stuff up for my move to New York, I tried my best to get rid of things that I “wouldn’t” need. Now while in reality [...]

My New Digs!!

Yes, believe it or not… 6 long weeks after moving to NYC I finally got to move into my new apartment on Sunday. Di happened to be in town for work and had the honor of being my first house guest. Unfortunately that night we were greeted by two unannounced visitors (read: coachroaches). BLEH, BLEH, [...]

Ladies and Gentlemen I now present to you…

Congrats to J & Nikki on their recent nuptials over Labor Day weekend! For those of you who hadn’t heard (or haven’t guessed from the accompanying picture); yours truly was given the honor of officiating the ceremony. How’d it go you ask? Well, despite pre-ceremony jitters my only real f-ups were having “You Nicole” sound [...]

My Favorite Time of the Year…

… college football season. I know I should start blogging about my new life here in NYC… and I will at some point… but all I gotta say is… “You know it… you tell the story… you tell the whole damn world this is BEAR TERRITORY!!!” Unfortunately I won’t be there in Memorial Stadium every [...]

So long San Francisco…

As most of you know I’ve moved to New York. I know that this is the right decision and I have no regrets about it… But in all my pondering over what to do with my life I’ve never thought about missing/being away from my friends. It’s not that I don’t love y’alls, but I’ve [...]

The Action of Inaction

I’ve come to yet another fork in the proverbial road of life; and this time I’m at a dead halt. Up until now I’ve been cruising down the highway, watching the mile markers, and planning my exit. Now that I’m finally here, I’m at a full stop in the divider, watching the other cars go [...]

Musicial Pi

Title Fight: Holly (M3) Vs. The Fire Hydrant

Final Score: Holly: 0 – Fire Hydrant: 1 Most of y’alls know what happened… if you don’t lets just say I had a confrontation with a fire hydrant that I didn’t see while backing up on a steep hill. My new personal mantra is… “it’s just a car…” “it’s just a car…” “it’s just a [...]

3 Degrees of Influence

My mom called me earlier this week to deliver the strangest of news. She had recently talked to a relative of my Dad’s who had asked if I was registered with SAAVY (South Asian American Voting Youth). My mom told her that she didn’t know but it was doubtful since I’ve been voting since I [...]

“You’re Beautiful” by James Blunt

This song came on as I was driving back home from dinner tonight. It seemed very appropo. You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful, it’s true. There must be an angel with a smile on her face, When she thought up that I should be with you. But it’s time to face the truth, I will [...]
