I decided to host Thanksgiving this year with my mum, hubby and five friends — this would be the first time we cooked for anyone else since our July wedding! Eek! It was a wonderful affair, though — I got to use literally every single wedding/engagement gift we had received, and all the foods turned… Continue reading Thanksgiving 2010

More bedspread fame
Remember when I was wigged out that Sun and Jin from lost had the same exact bedspread as us? You know, like two posts ago? Well, we got a new one for our wedding. And ANOTHER SHOW STOLE IT. To be fair, Rubicon went with the lighter gray color, whereas ours is a dark charcoal… Continue reading More bedspread fame
Ten reasons I haven’t blogged lately.
1) I got married. That was kind of busy. 2) I have a new job. It, of course, takes up a lot of my time, passion, energy, and tennis elbow quotient. But it’s loads of fun! I’m the French Linguistic QA Specialist at NCsoft, and I primarily focus on French-language text in Aion, a Korean-developed… Continue reading Ten reasons I haven’t blogged lately.
The Girl with the Missing Book Club
Not to jump on the literary bandwagon du jour (or rather, du 2005), but I finally picked up The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.* For the first time since 2006ish when my book club disbanded, I really miss having a group with whom to kvetch about whatever’s on my nightstand. This book started slow, then… Continue reading The Girl with the Missing Book Club

Sun and Jin have the exact same comforter set as we do. Question: does this make us candidates?

Rabbit fur scarves, accessories & trim — people don’t seem the least bit bothered by real fur here. I confess I did buy some furry earmuffs. Shorts with… Continue reading Tokyo Fashion Express
How hard is it, people?
Dear Bank of America Website: You should not default the radio button to having ‘Yes, remember this computer in the future’ selected. The default should either be nothing or NOT remembering it. SECURITY, PEOPLE. Dear Google: You should not implement a feature that hides Labels that don’t have any useful content for me, but then… Continue reading How hard is it, people?
I am so smart… S-M-R-T…
Q: What the heck do you use to muddle sliced fruit into a giant pitcher of sangrÃa, whose surface area is too large for any standard mojito muddler?
Finally, a reason to jailbreak my iPhone.

Project O’ The Day
Less than one minute into my work day, my right sandal fell apart. Specifically, the two industrial staples and two deep nail/rivet things popped right out of the wooden footbed, leaving nothing to hold down the leather strap keeping my foot in the sandal. GRR! However, no task is too daunting for this handy lass.… Continue reading Project O’ The Day
