I hope everyone enjoyed their cheesey holiday. I'm not a big fan of Valentine's, but I will remember this year's, fondly, as the day I got my keys to my new apartment. I am beyond happy.

We got our keys on Wednesday, but moving has been a very slow process due to conflicting work schedules. Also, there are some serious logistical issues, even though we...

I think I've recovered from Dmuff's impromptu roadtrip to Vegas this past weekend. We had a great time and found that we complement and balance each other out quite nicely.

Tomorrow morning I am back to business with a 26 mile run. Yay day off in the middle of the week!

The other day, one of my best friends told me that she thinks...

Time seems to have sped up. This morning, as I was driving to work, I realized that I have been so busy these days and so much is happening with me, to me, and without me.
I've been at my "new" job for six months, I've been living in Hollywood for three months, my second marathon is in one month, and I'm getting my master's...

I started working in the room service department at Raffles L'Ermitage in Beverly Hills in 2003 and was quickly introduced to Marcheline, who was living in the hotel. She had moved in at a time when she was battling cancer, since the hotel was close to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and had 24hr services; she had since gone into remission.

As the phone operator, I got...

38 days until the LA marathon!! I'm going to try to run 20 miles on my own this Saturday. I'm not training with a team this time, so it's a little hard to stay motivated.

Work has been quite busy, yet interesting. I'm trying to turn garbage (literally) into ethanol. That's right, in the future, we will be able to make cocktails with something that...

suspense is currently killing me.

I hope everyone is having a lovely holiday season!

I just got back in town last night after a brief visit with my family. I brought back plenty of tamales and cookies and happy memories of the whole family spending Christmas Eve in the kitchen, cooking together. There is something so sweet and lovely about watching my father and maternal grandmother sitting at the kitchen...

I don't like it when people tell you how cool and great someone is, and how you have to meet them because they want to meet you, and then you meet them and they couldn't care less and completely blow you off and even ignore the person who introduces you. Fake people like that suck.

On the bright side, I went to the Dragonfly on...

Every once in a while, it occurs to me that I tend to overwhelm myself with activity. Strangely, it seems that I also subconsciously find a way to arrange my activities so that everything comes to a climax at the same time.

These past three weeks flashed by in a whirlwind of events.

Brace yourself. It's going to be a long blog.

The big move......

I'm happy to say that despite working full time, going to grad school full time, and being in the middle of moving, I have still managed to continue my marathon training and leave for Honolulu in about 3 weeks!!

This Saturday, my pace group will be running the full 26.2 miles in preparation for our trip. This will be my first time running this distance...

So what's my new life in Hollywood like, you ask?

Last night, Dmuff and I spent the evening eating brown rice and veggies while we took turns hitting each other on the knees, with my hair brush, in search of that little spot that causes a reflex. We also watched Dancing with the Stars for the first time, but really didn't pay attention due to...

The smell of the acid hydrolysis reaction that I am working with smells a lot like the bbq sandwich that I smelled in my sleep the other night.



Will someone please go to San Dimas and pack up my abandoned apartment?
