Woke up this morning and was greeted with COLD water in my shower. Tried the sink….same thing. Fortuneately, I showered at Bally’s last night. Do you know how uncomfortable it is to shave in cold water??? :

Found a site that hosts comments, so please click and leave me a comment. Would love to hear from you!

Went to the gym tonight and twisted my knee a bit! Ack!

My new web client filnally paid me, and not a moment too soon

Found Reese’s Inside Out Cups, peanut butter on the outside, chocolate on the inside. Very good, but very different, can’t really describe the taste other that that.

Well the Cubbies are going to the playoffs. Thought I’d dig up some Cubs jokes:

On a recent tour of the United States, the Pope took a couple of days off his itinerary to visit the Florida coastline on an impromptu sightseeing trip.

The last time the Cubbies won a world Championship was 1907:

Twenty major events that have occurred since the Chicago Cubs last laid claim to a World Series championship:

It’s 2am….just some thoughts

…..Robert Palmer died yesterday…you know you are getting old when some of your favorite singers from when you grew up start kicking off.
…..Any particular reason Doritos are triangular?
…..I really admire the togetherness and the family that the asian community seems to have. Maybe it goes with being a minority. I feel like I miss out sometimes being caucasian.
…..Hey! What happened to the inside out Reese’s cups???

Enough rambling…off to bed!

Like the headline up top? Just added….

I updated my new clients website again. Hope he likes it
Found a blog about the 8.0 earthquake in Japan May be hard to find a good English blog on this news story.

And I see that there is a website with an index of Chicago bloggers, sorted by city/suburb location, so you can see bogs in your neighborhood. Kind of cool! (yeah, I’ll get mine listed there, as well as the Chicago weblog webring, which lists 182 Chicago weblogs! (click on list at the bottom)

Eventually I am going to set up this weblog with comments, but that means getting a new blogging engine set up which I don’t have time for right now.

Boy what did I get myself into??

I ended up volunteering to set up the website for Chicago House Casino Night next month. (Link is for Chicago House itself, I didn’t do that website) Guess it’s the nice side of me. Just what I need, something else on my plate.

Off to bed!

Busy weekend!

Attended a couple of Filipino parties this weekend where I was frequently asked “Do you like Filipino food?” In fact, I do, but the fact that I was even asked just shows shows how much farther we have to go. Whites have a tendency to be boorish and rather closed minded when it comes to other customs and food. If asian culture and food is so bad, why do asians make up more than HALF of the world’s population? I am glad I count myself among the few who ARE open minded.

Went on Sunday to a Chay Yew reading downtown, “A Language of Their Own” . Very nice reading, and afterwards the playwright gave a short Q/A session. Afterwards went to Chinatown and had Peking Duck, lobster and shared entrees with 8 other friends. Boy was I full!

Going to a fund raising organizational meeting for Chicago House tonight. should be interesting, and it’s for a good cause!

Don’t like rodents? Hope you didn’t live in Venezula millions of years ago Wow. That’s a weird creature!

Atended Flash mob 3 yesyerday. Auctioned off the Picasso sculpture at Daley Plaza. It was way too short…by the time I worked my way around the auction had ended! Next one is supposed to be 9/28!

From the Chicago Breaking Views weblog (linked on the left)
How to create your own “Star Wars” name:

“For your new first name: Take the first 3 letters of your first name and add the first 2 letters of your last name.

For your new last name: Take the first 2 letters of your Mother’s maiden name and add the first 3 letters of the city you were born in.”

That would make me Chahe Milda (sounds Asian) Why Chahe? E-mail me, and I’ll tell you the whole story!

Well, no juice! This affected THOUSANDS of website, not just mine

See the email/article I received from my web hosting company:

Last night the building our Network Operations Center is housed in
experienced an electrical fire. The utility and the fire department
required that all electric devices be disconnected in the building as a
safety precaution. Unfortunately that involved all of our network equipment
and servers. During the evacuation of the building, 4 of the NOC
personnel were permitted to remain behind for a few minutes with the
supervision of the fire department in order to perform a clean shutdown of the
equipment. We are thankful that no one was injured during this event.
Despite the risk, these folks made sure that everything was downed in a
controlled manner and there was no loss of data or equipment.

You may read an article on this event at the Baltimore Sun’s website:
