Hustle and Flow
Guess who has a side hustle? Yours truly! It had been on my mind since last year. I’d even started filling out an application on a website. After seemingly filling out tons of information, my laptop decided to shut down and reboot in the middle of it. Of course, none of my information had been … Continue reading
Songs from the Islands (Kind of)
Over Labor Day weekend, my friend, D., and I had the chance to see not one, but TWO Poly concerts. Of course, we had to pay twice, too, but we didn’t mind! Friday night started out with Maoli, my favorite Jawaiian-type band out of Maui. Both D. and I dressed very casual that night. The … Continue reading
I Want to Go Home
This past weekend was spent in L.A., not for any particular reason, but because I’m “homesick.” The trip didn’t start off all that well. My 8:00 a.m. flight on Virgin America was delayed until 9:15 a.m., though we weren’t actually airborne until about 9:45 a.m. A friend of mine had wanted to pick me up … Continue reading
Me, Myself & I
Last Saturday my former BFF from my L.A. days was in town; she lives in Phoenix now and we haven’t seen each other since 2004 or 2005. She’d E-mailed me the week before that she’d love to get together for dinner and drinks and letting me know that she’d be staying at a hotel out … Continue reading
Holidaze
The holidays are over, thankfully! Honestly, my holiday spirit has been relatively low for several years now. Not being close (physically or otherwise) to my immediate family, I chose to spend Thanksgiving in the same place as a few years ago – Las Vegas. Rather than staying at The Venetian this time, I upped the … Continue reading
My Budgeting is Failing and I’ve Barely Begun
Every year I supposedly have a budget. Every year it doesn’t quite go as planned. In about 10 days I’m off to New Orleans. My plans are to stuff my face with as much fried, spicy food as possible, as well as downing multiple drinks and seeing some live music. New Orleans has things like … Continue reading
Out in the Country (Sort of)
Last Sunday I ventured out to Golden Gate Park for the afternoon. I can’t even remember the last time I was there – maybe for the Outside Lands Festival in 2008. The occasion for this visit was the Second Annual Aloha Poly Festival being held in the Hall of Flowers. Beings it was only the … Continue reading
Put Your Hands On Me
Yesterday morning was my second, gulp, mammogram. The first one was back in 2011, after much hounding from both my regular doctor and my gynecologist. To be honest, the first physical experience wasn’t as bad as anticipated, but the psychological effects were enormous because I was called back for more X-rays! It turned out to … Continue reading
The Pleasure of Your Company
I’ve been extremely anti-social since around October of last year. The flakiness of people in NoCal finally put me over the edge. You know how you make plans with someone and they’re running late? People here don’t seem to call or text at all. They just let you sit and wonder. Sometimes they completely fail … Continue reading
