A few thoughts on Starbucks

October 20, 2003

I was on my way home this afternoon when I spotted a Starbucks and just had to stop for my bi-daily Grande White Chocolate Mocha. I mean, you know, because it’s not like there is a Starbucks at every corner. One needs to take advantage of such opportunities when living in this fast-paced, cut-throat world. [...]

A few items

Does anyone else use a particular public restroom stall so frequently that you are offended when someone else is using it? It’s interesting that I check my email roughly every 30 seconds yet I still feel insulted when I don’t receive any new messages. My prediction: I am going to fail my qualifying exam. * [...]

Just a few random questions to take up time

Why do people claim to withdraw money from the “ATM machine” when ATM itself means “automatic teller machine”? Why do we say that a batter “flied out” when “flew” is the past tense of “fly”? Why do UCLA Medical Students come to the library to socialize? Why is the UCLA Instructional Microcomputing Facility referred to [...]

The Flight Home

I just got home from Brian/Josh and Kathy’s wedding celebration in Pittsburgh. I certainly intend to “comment” on the wedding experience, but first I wanted to say a little something about the flight home. That was the worst damn flight I have ever been on.

Well, Joy and I are all moved in to the new apartment! (and by “moved in”, I mean that our TV is in the middle of the living room on the floor, we have no couch, no coffee-table, no dining room table or chairs, no decorations up, no DSL, and no Cable TV) Very exciting. [...]

This Friday is a really big day for me. I have a midterm in neural systems, Marty Rehab is in town, and X-Men 2 opens nationwide. Then on Saturday, Pejman and I are competing in the Intramural Doubles Tournament. So, it is essential that I get everything off to a good start by performing well [...]

Tennis Memories Part 1: My Cow

Pejman and I played about two hours of tennis tonight, bringing our grand total for the year 2003 to….2 hours, 5 minutes. I have a strong feeling that when I wake up in the morning, every muscle in my body is going to be achy and sore (aren’t those synonymous?). The serve was working, the [...]

Good idea, Jen

And now it’s time for a bit of Jen C. Logic. Recently, Jen and I were planning a weekend for her to come to LA to visit Pejman and myself. We initially decided on her arriving on a Saturday morning, and then Jen suggested: “Well, if I’m going to come Saturday morning, I might as [...]

No Question

I was watching an interview with Tracy McGrady this evening (That is, he was the one being interviewed. He and I weren’t watching the interview together. I was at home and he was in a studio somewhere in the Midwest. You understand), and in that one conversation, I think he may have successfully used every [...]
