Marc, his friend Sara Jane and I went to see ‘Nishi Ginza Ekimae’ (English title: ‘Nishi Ginza Station’) last night at the Northwest Film Forum. It’s part of a series entitled “A MAN VANISHES: The Legacy of Shohei Imamura” which is a retrospective of Japanese filmmaker Shohei Imamura. The film was a bit [...]

So after a fairly lengthy but easy upgrade process, I have Leopard running on my Macbook. It’s pretty shiny and nice I must admit, but I need to explore more of the features.
Upgrading my iMac is next up, but I need to finish up some work work (remotely logged in through VMWare Fusion) on [...]

Yeah! Another truck just came and delivered the package.

Now, I just have to wait for the backing up of important stuff like my photos onto my laptop!
The driver told me that this was the last Leopard package he was dropping off today. So either I lucked out by still getting it or didn’t [...]

One of the few things I like about commuting to the eastside.

Bobo goaded a group of us into going out to the bars last night, although it’s not like he had to try very hard to convince us We tried to start at Pony, but they were charging a $5 cover there because of some sort of performer. I wasn’t interested in [...]

Yikes, it’s been about a week and a half since I last blogged. Not a whole lot has been going on, but I guess I’ve been keeping myself busy with work, hobbies and seeing Marc (not necessarily in that order).
Lately, I’ve had this weird insomnia where I stay up late and don’t really feel [...]
