as in “i’m walking . . . i’m walking . . . smack!”

the brother rented out his room in the house. I have a new roommate starting march 1.

how does the saying go? you’re not in control unless you’re out of control.

I’ll credit that one to The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. No, i haven’t seen it, the quote was in the trailer. really. ok, fine, i’m an hdtv whore.

I find this moving.

Hit up the Obama Countdown to Change event in SF today. It went from 6:30 to 9:45 or so. A couple highlights:

1) dusty baker was in the house

2) among the six thousand plus in attendance were, what i thought, were an incredible number of young folk. as in one to twelve year olds. I never thought of these things as family events, but i’m sure it makes for an interesting outing.

3) it’s hard for me to get excited whilst amongst obama fanatics. or fanatics of any sort.

4) while it was the same speech he gave at the JJ rally, it’s much better in person.

5) oh my. the more he reveals, the more i identify with him . . . even though he did this at that other search company.

6) OMG! I shook barack’s hand!

7) on a tangent, kucinich is one rough and tumble dude.

for some reason i felt compelled to find a better calendaring solution today. Ended up spending the morning hooking up phpicalendar and lightning. I’ll let y’all know how it goes.

Also hit NYC last weekend to visit Carmen. Got to meet up with the chungs, but that’s about it.

Finally, the Chuburys are headed north for oregon. safe travels!

Looks like the Y! is having a little promo for our new kickstart project. Here are the rules. Go get ‘em.

In a cafe (a cupcake cafe of all places): Carry the Zero by Built to Spill.

Haven’t heard it in years. And maybe it’s because it’s an exceptionally warm october in gotham, but man did that take me back. I even had to think about it a bit before i came up with the band.

Anyway, load up some decemberists and pavement and i’ll be good to go.

It’s almost 1:30am and i can’t get to sleep. To what do i owe this insomnia? Well, you see, I was supposed to go the the gym today, but felt more like going to a bar. except, being that the Y! sports team just got back from vegas where i practically bathed in alcohol, i figured bar was no good. Luckily, baray and family were meeting up with the robinsons for dinner at the counter tonight.

so, usually, when i hit up one of these “make your own burger” places, i trend toward the western bacon cheeseburger model, but today was different. I felt a little crazy, so i opted for the breakfast burger: bacon, mushrooms, swiss, and fried egg on an english muffin. I can gladly say i’d recommend it.

ah . . late night, non-sensical blogging. I feel like i had a point to this blog post, but after a quick read, i see that i didn’t. hmm . . . maybe it was that i can’t get to sleep because i have this breakfast burger sitting in my stomach. oh well, i feel like some scotch. oh, vegas . . . oh, scotch.

Six years to the day. Six years and this is the first time i’m in sacramento on the day.

It’s odd how the family has started to move on. I guess kevin never really put much weight on today, and i had to remind mom this year because she thought it was tomorrow. I’m not sure if that means i’m holding on too tight or everyone’s letting go too early. Maybe neither. who knows.

Anyway, it’ll be nice to visit nanny’s grave this year.
