Open Letter to Carrie Prejean

Dear Carrie Prejean,
Please stop talking. I know you are doing the media rounds promoting your new book; a book that I’m sure you didn’t write nor will you ever read. Still, I beg you to just shut the hell up. Between your book tour and Sarah Palin’s book tour, I can’t read the news right [...]

Don’t dream and drive

Yeah, so, last night I had this dream that I was in an accident on the Bay Bridge.
My car went off the bridge and plummeted into the bay. As the car was filling up with water, I tried to remain calm. I reached into the back seat to get Homer out of his crate. Then [...]

But does this Droid speak Bocce?

Yeah, so, I found the Droid I’m looking for.
I guess all the advertising worked, because I just had to have a Droid phone. I am not a techie person. I had a regular flip phone a few hours ago. Four years ago, I was still working out while listening to a Sony Walkman … that [...]

Feeling normal

Yeah, so, today is the first day since the mastectomy that I felt like myself. Well, more like myself anyway.
Yesterday, I finally got the last drain removed. It was such a relief! It’s amazing how much that thing made me uncomfortable. I felt better the instant it was removed. I’m still not terribly mobile on [...]

Lap dog does a lap around the laptop

Yeah, so, I’ve been working from home for almost a week while I am recovering.
My “desk” is my couch with two pillows, my laptop and my dog, Homer. Most of the day, Homer just snuggles up next to me and the laptop. But a few times a day, he wants my attention and he does [...]

Picture Imperfect

Yeah, so, I don’t photograph well.
That’s not me being modest or ridiculous. I really don’t photograph well.
Some people always look great in photos. Some people do not look great in photos. I do not look great in photos. I have a round, shiny face, and if you don’t catch me at just the right angle, [...]

Drain, drain, go away …

Yeah, so, I still have one remaining drain from my surgery three weeks ago, and it is making my life miserable.
Basically, a tube is sticking out from under my left armpit, and it’s running into a little plastic bottle. Obviously, this little plastic bottle must remain with me at all times. It’s tied to my [...]

Stage fright

Yeah, so, on Friday night mighty, mighty good man and I made our stage debut at Muni Diaries‘ Live! Under the Influence at the Make-Out Room in San Francisco.
The fine folks at Muni Diaries asked if David and I would read a blog post we submitted earlier this year about a woman who turned the [...]

Warning: This asparagus may contain asparagus

 
Wait! This asparagus doesn’t have asparagus in it, does it? I’m allergic to asparagus.
Dun dun dun!

This film is not rated due to graphic laziness

Yeah, so, I watched the latest trailer for James Cameron’s “Avatar.” I am not pleased.
A character in the movie actually utters the line, “You are not in Kansas anymore.” Ugh. It’s so disgustingly lazy. When a character says that line, they might as well be saying, “Our screenwriter gave up on this movie, but [...]
