Where is everyone???

I'm bored at work, can you tell? I was out sick yesterday and now I have 150+ emails to answer with no desire to do so.

So, here is a picture to

make you go, hmmmm....My little brother is getting married on Friday. After 11 years with the same woman, they are making it legal. Kudos to them...they waiting until they were sure!

Ok, off to (hopefully) get some work done over here. Until I meet you in a dark alley, may you prosper.

Media Production Class

My school's administration has given me permission to pursue a media/video production class at my school. Any suggestions on how to fund such a program? Video production and editing equipment can be expensive. Does Disney or Nielson have a reason to fund a program at an Orange County high school? Anyway - I'm open to any suggestions you might have. Right now my main funding idea is the annual production of a video yearbook for the school. The question is - how do I get the equipment to make the first one to sell.

For Harry Potter Fans

One of my students showed me this sight last year. Pretty hysterical - even if you aren't a fan of the books or movies.

Life, or what I want to do with it...

Things are getting interesting....my company may be sold. And while that doesn't mean I'll be out of a job, it does mean some interesting changes may be afoot. We'll see how it turns out. I'm considering going back to school for my MBA in marketing but we'll see. It would have to be an online thing because I have no desire to sit in a classroom ever again. BORING. Plus, I really don't want to have to interact with anyone face to face. Am I turning anti-social in my old age? Probably.
Ok, Tivo is calling my name. LOST here I come.

O RLY?

This still cracks me up. . .

Happy Sunday!

The Ma-ster online

Cathy and I finally got Judy up and running although we're having a hard time finding the blog online for her to post. We'll figure it out somehow.

We had a Savanna reminiscing session at dinner tonight. Don't worry, we didn't bring you up too much.

I just wanted to inform all of you who have given me grief because I'm a Carolina Panthers fan that nothing, I repeat, NOTHING is going to bring me down! :) I love the fact that the Panthers spanked the Bears. I look forward to Sunday's game against the Seahawks. With the Colts out of the way...I believe my Panthers have a legitimate shot at the SuperBowl. It's been a good year for "us" so far. :) I LOVE it!

The Way We Were & Are

Ripped From the Headlines

From the OC Register:

2 accused of running brothel

The Orange County Register

YORBA LINDA – Brea police announced Tuesday that they had arrested two people accused of running a brothel in a condominium complex in the 5900 block of Portsmouth Road.

David "Sunny Ha" Lutes, 35, and Soon Keun "Crazy Legs" Kim, 53,** were arrested Jan. 11 on suspicion of the misdemeanor offense of engaging in prostitution.

Neither person resided at the condominium; it was primarily used for sex acts, police said.

"There were just beds and condoms laying around," said Darrin Devereux, Brea police spokesman.

Undercover detectives discovered the brothel through a Web site, he said. Devereux said this is the first brothel found in Yorba Linda.









**Some names have been changed for no particular reason. Other than that, it's a real story.

Apology to Judy

I had a little too much fire water the other night and walked out with all the leftover food that was meant to go to Judy. I didn't realize my crime until I was passing The Westminster Mall and smelled something coming from the back seat. Though not intentional, I must say that I've rather enjoyed it the past two nights and quite frankly, I have no regrets. Judy be damned.

Toilets...who knew?

So I'm renovating my condo and though my contractor is taking care of the big stuff, my job is to take care of the finer details. One of the finer details involves the purchase of two toilets. I started off by looking at the Home Depot and Lowes websites. I was thoroughly confused because I didn't realize that one had to buy the toilet itself...the tank...and the seat! Some toilets come as a one-piece, but that doesn't include the seat. Of course, the specific toilet that I wanted was not sold at Home Depot or Lowes. I then moved to the Pacific Sales website. There I found the toilets I wanted, Toto. Not the dog.

Apparently Toto toilets are expensive. But it's supposed to be one of the top of the line in waste management. My contractor told me that I could expecct to pay at least $500 per Toto toilet. In my mind, I was thinking, "Does that price include the toilet seat?" I didn't ask it aloud as I'm sure I'm driving my contractors crazy enough.

I found myself at RH (Restoration Hardware) where I met this really nice lady who was also redo-ing her bathrooms. We talked for a good 30 minutes about vanities, counter tops, fixtures, mirrors, lighting....and yep, you guessed it, toilets. Apparently, she is also a fan of Toto toilets. She told me that I could "try" out the Toto toilets at this specialty store called The Bath Co. I'm not sure what she meant by "try out", but I certainly wasn't going to be sitting on ANY toilets in public!

After leaving RH, I drove over to The Bath Co. I couldn't find the Toto toilets anywhere. But I saw tons of other toilets everywhere ~ tall ones, short ones, bidets, elongated, rounded, white, black, traditional, contemporary, two piece, one piece, 14", 16"...When I finally got a sales person to help me, she told me all that I needed to know about Toto toilets. Apparently, I didn't want the $500 Toto toilets. The one that I was specifically looking for was only $150 and check this out...it comes with an automatic seat closer (for an additional $50 - but since I need a seat...why the heck not?!).

Don't ask me how the automatic seat closer works...especially if you're a guy. I know I need to ask more questions before I purchase the Toto toilets because the last thing I need is for the automatic seat closer to close mid-stream for you fellas with an appendage...

When the place is finished, you are all coming over. The condo will not look the same...and you can all marvel at my Toto toilets and their automatic seat closer.

Just an excerpt from the new hit by the Black-Eyed Chickpeas:

Things I'd rather smell than jasmine rice

I had to post this blog because I’ve been annoying my wife to no end about this. She’s as sick as can be about listening to me go on and on about this. I am on a proverbial nut about it. When you cook jasmine rice in your house, your house stinks to holy high heaven. This is a non-comprehensive list of things I would rather smell than jasmine rice:

1) Eat a pound of asparagus and piss all over my face.

2) Dog farts

3) Lock me in a room full of frat boys about to go to a party. Their liberal application of Drakkar is only rivaled by little old ladies applying flowery stink before church.

4) Eat 2 heads of cabbage and trap me under your covers as you go to bed that night.

5) I’d rather smell Mo’s black tongue

6) Lock me in a Disney gift shop full of middle-eastern vacationers

7) My vans and Rocky Horror t-shirt after Brett Morales borrowed them for a night

8) Bum-piss

9) Mini-van puke smell (I think they make little Christmas trees with this scent)

10) Week old street pizza

Tapper

Ok, here’s the new website/video-game rage (the Goo keeps his finger on the pulse of the future). We design a site called Blogger (the fact that it’s taken--and by none other than this very site—is a minor detail to be worked out by those more techie than the Goo). The way it works is that it starts out simple. Maybe as you blog, a truck drives by. No harm done; simply continue blogging after the truck goes. Then up ahead, the blogger might run a-course with 3 cars in a row, then a fast moving car, then a sweet haven in the middle before blogging off onto a log or a crocodile that looks like a log, but opens its sharpy death of a mouth as you blog off onto a turtle going the other way. Eventually, you post your blog in the bay on the other side of the river before starting off a new blog down by the truck again (which is, of course, moving a bit faster this time).

Pending the success of Blogger, we then design MySpaceInvaders, Googlaxians, Q-Bay, AskJoust, Amazoids.com, and iTunes-CrystalCastles.
