Things that might be decidedly odd....
On Thursday afternoon, a group of us began our trip by car from Seattle to San Francisco. We stopped for the night at my parents’ house in Oregon, before continuing on Friday. I went out Friday night in the Castro, which was quite busy being pride weekend and all. We went from Moby Dick’s to [...]
Whew, I just got back from my longest bike ride of the season yet. I rode from my apartment to University Village (where I met the rest of the group) down Lake Washington through Renton, then onto the Cedar River Trail out to Maple Valley. On the way back, we stopped in downtown Renton for [...]
Jason and I went to the Solstice parade in Fremont yesterday, preceded by Jeff Roberts’ brunch and followed by Mike Schafer’s BBQ. As usual, the parade was fun to watch. Even though my legs got tired from standing there so long, it’s worth it to see all the creative floats, costumes and general decoration participants [...]
Since right after Memorial Day, I’ve been in the process of interviewing for another position at Microsoft. After all the interviews, I got an offer (yeah!). After talking to various people on the new team and doing some soul searching, I decided to accept the job late last week. I’ll be working on something that [...]
I have a cold. Mainly, it’s a runny nose with post nasal drip giving me some laryngitis. Yeck, I don’t feel too bad but it’s still annoying.
I rode my bike both on Saturday and Sunday this weekend.
On Saturday, I was going to ride the Green River Trail with Ben, Jeff and the guys from Gay City. I went about 10 miles before my saddle would no longer stay in place. I had to ride back 10 miles with my [...]
I didn’t go riding today because last weekend I somehow hurt my wrist while riding. I’d not sure what I did (didn’t get whacked, didn’t fall on it or anything like that), but it hurt relatively bad for a few days and my wrist was making a sort of grinding/popping noise. It’s doing much better [...]
A bunch of us went over to Brouwer’s in Fremont for dinner and drinks on Friday. I hardly ever make it over to Fremont, but there are some cool restaurants and bars over there. I had a Chimay to drink and some beer battered halibut with fries. Tasty.
Yesterday, I went with Jason, Nikunj, Sachin, Anish (a bunch of UNC interns at Microsoft this summer) to see the new Indiana Jones movie at Lincoln Square. We also grabbed dinner with Rick (another intern) at El Taqueria Rinconsito–man I love me some cheap tacos. The movie was fun. I thought it was very true [...]
