A Very Cultured Day

27Oct06

I spent a day with Tiyas yesterday.  We went for a much-needed sushi lunch, then she bought some CDs, did some groceries and I paid all my bills this month.  Yes, a huge “PHEW” because there isn’t anything I dread more than late bills and warnings.  Anyway, after it’s all done, we went to an [...]

A Funny Quote

16Oct06

I am a sucker for witty quotes. Tonight, I stumbled upon this one:

“Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the heck is the ceiling” -Anonymous

Ask Away

16Oct06

I introduced myself to Yahoo! Answers today and boy, was I amused.
Whoever thought of this idea in the first place must be a genius… or, like me, they had thousands of -some might think- silly questions that needed to be answered just for the sake of it. It reminded me to post of some [...]

The Gym
