Funky chicken As you can see, I took off the new Xanga skin after Phillip informed me of problems with some of the graphics when viewed through a Mac. I guess I'll have to revamp some stuff, but it was a good try. Heh, …

Fits like a glove Tada! This is the new skin. I don't know if folks enjoy this more than the old one, but it's slightly more compact. Of course, the real improvement in this version is the integrated Asian male hotness.…

Grumbly slumber I've been going through my old syndrome of evening insomnia. I used to have this when I was working and going to school at the same time. The stress of both activities kept me up at night and prevented m…

From greatness to perversion If you've been keeping up with the Olympics, then I'm sure you've watched the swimming and diving events. Speedos aside, it's always the most competitive event that you can find in the Summe…

Look out As you can see, the problem with SGBoy has gone away. I guess it was a temporary problem. However, I'm still opting to change the setup of my Xanga. We'll just to have to see how much it'll change from this cur…

You want fries with that? I got a letter in the mail today about a professor being considered for tenure at my alma mater. Since this was a professor that I had studied under, I don't think I would have a problem writin…

Spooge The Republican National Convention is next week. I saw on Greater Boston that Cheney has apparently made a political ploy to insinuate that gay people aren't the devil after all. I don't take any of that seriou…

Caught! If you haven't noticed with all the red x's all over my Xanga, it appears that SGBoy finally caught onto the hotlinking that's been going on. I guess it probably wouldn't have been that noticeable until SGBoy pi…

Objection! I'm glad Aaron enjoyed yesterday's entry so much that he actually wrote a counterargument to my discussion about the model minority myth's role in Asian fetishism. Of course, I love it when guys actually take…

The starches After reading an David's entry about lost love, I thought I'd crack open some of the myths that surrounds the transformation of rice and potato queens. Certainly, it's been a well played topic on this Xanga…

More butt support I rarely ever criticize (heh, oh wait, that's not true..) folks for their kookiness, but I got to profess my great distaste for shady people here in Boston. It's not that they're doing anything wrong i…

Scratch "I'm not crazy...it's the rest of the world that's gone mad." Heh, it reminds me of a story that I had posted up on the wall of my office in my last job. It's a religious parable about a man who hears from God t…

Maintaining your insanity I think I've gone crazy. That realization came from the fact that I actually made Hamburger Helper tonight. I'm not much for box mixes other than cheesy potatoes, but I guess my brain is so fri…

Solid gold Even though I was suppose to do some writing today, I ended up putting all of that aside in lieu of my recent big discovery. Yesterday, I found a major story, which could potentially jumpstart my writing and …

Rewrite! At this moment, I'm not a happy camper. Even though I have the dubious reputation of being anal about other people's proofreading, I found an unhappy surprise when I checked the document file for my resume. A…

Slowpoke I don't know if it was true or not, but it seemed as if everything was operating at half speed today. Despite the fact that this is summer, it was unseasonably cold and overcast all day. There was no sun and …

What hurricane? Despite fears of a massive hurricane touching down on Massachusetts today, there was little or no drizzle in my area. Amidst an August Moon Festival that was suppose to take place today, I found out th…

Ten reasons why porn isn't the life to be.. After watching blooper clips from various porns, it struck me that there's several reasons why one shouldn't join the porn industry. It's pretty crazy and hectic when y…

Foster home for unwanted governors Hmm...everyone's sounded off on the whole McGreevy scandal...not that it's much of a scandal. I think the media hasn't given this as much attention, which I feel is a smart move. It'…

Expensive stuff It's clear that plastic surgery (or cosmetic sugery for you non-boob folks) is the hot TV fad for this summer. Practically every channel that I flip to has some reality show detailing how a woman's getti…

Asian news-ology I happen to glance at a few Asian-related things on the Internet. Even though we're rarely put at the forefront of any mainstream news, it's always interesting what you can find online. Behold! 1.) Asi…

Chappelle epiphany Isn't it dismaying that my only interesting exposure to discourse about race comes from The Dave Chappelle Show? Despite the blatantly racist and biased perspectives found on the sketch comedy show, I…

Little mouse on the prairie I hate to pressure folks, but I wanted to put a reminder up for folks who might be interested in submitting something for my zine project. As previously mentioned, I'm looking for pieces that…

Long range missiles Hopefully, folks have picked up a few pointers or refreshers after reading my entries for the past few days. It's pretty easy to start writing, but it's another thing when you need to look at it agai…

Meet your maker I've been rather baffled lately by the string of impersonations on Downelink. As an expert information gatherer and researcher, I feel that I have all the necessary knowledge and skills to figure out h…

When blogs go bad Ever wonder why some blogs sometimes go nowhere? Xanga is certainly no exception to this rule. Actually, it has less to do with the site as it does with the writers. I assume that many folks, particula…

Reflective writing As a piece of technical advice for writers, reflective writing is a useful tool for folks to reexamine the past or just to collect some thoughts onto paper. I guess many folks on here are familiar wit…

Male bonding I felt it was appropriate to sound off on the recent explosion of Asian male meat market in blogs. I'd like to think that I started a trend of exposing Xanga folks to images of Asian and Pacific Islander …

Breakfast is signaled by a silver spoon I have to admit that cooking for four has contributed a reasonable bit of weight gain in the gut area lately. Now I understand why my mother always complains about ballooning, e…
