Great week.

The higher the high, the lower the low.

mornings

Worn out, wasted
Like a bird with broken wings
Sometimes grace reminds me
I don't get to be the king

But love it washes over
Love it pulls me closer
Love it changes everthing

Everything is beautiful
Even when the tears are falling
I don't need a miracle to believe
Even in the crashing down
I can hear redemtion calling
And everything is beautiful to me

Starfield- Everything is Beautiful

i need a mind eraser

and a couple tranquilizers

SPED

They actually call special education schools 'SPED' in Singapore. Only the Sings, only the Sings.

...sort of in the same manner that overweight kids get sent to TAF camp (training and fitness). Oh did you notice? thats F-A-T spelled backwards. (yes I know I have posted this before)

hhahahaha

Dear Body (and Arteries),

I am about to ingest a Ray's Hell Burger (again). No, I don't know if it will be the Dogcatcher, topped off with succulent bone marrow...or the burger that is $10 over base price, with truffle oil and foie gras. But don't give up on me body (and arteries). I'll give you the R & R that you require, after shoving this monstrosity down my face. I know it doesn't sound grateful, but it's really the only proper way to devour a Ray's Hell Burger.

Maybe when President Obama and President Medvedev ate there back in June they found a better way to eat the burger. Perhaps White House aides carved the burger with a fork and knife and fed baby bite-fulls to the eagle and the bear. But what an experience they missed out on, if they didn't get spattered with the rosy pink juices of a Ray's Hell Burger center. Bonus points if it got on their Armani suits and guzzled a milkshake!

Anyway body (and arteries), I apologize. I really do. But this is an experience that I believe everyone should have...for some, multiple times. So I am going to do my due part, take guests out tonight to try this hell burger, and you're just going to have to suffer.

Kthnx,

NYC escapade

Greg and I made our way up to NYC this weekend for his sister's birthday celebration. I had a really fun (albeit crazy) time. Took some shots with my DSLR, but definitely have much to learn before I consider myself even remotely competent. The problem with big cameras is that they have more buttons and crazy functions. So much for taking the Canon Field Guide with me- that thing was about as specific as...well, it wasn't. I also discovered that my camera is definitely on the heavier side, at least for my hands =\ Will play around with it some more to see if I can improve my touch, but may look for a more ergonomic solution if this doesn't work out.

Pictures to come...after I get my CF reader in the mail! Next on the tech list: Iomega MiniMax HD, and an iPod upgrade. I need to start utilizing my discount, and seeing as how my current iPod is from 2005/06, it's time for a change before this baby dies. There are cheaper 1TB HD's besides the Iomega, but I want it because it stacks with my Airport Extreme router...womp womp.

Tonight's dinner attempt: pi-pa tofu with fried rice. (The attempt is at the pi-pa tofu, not the fried rice. I really need to buy a food processor.)

--edit--

Some pics from the weekend

Freddy calls these the "pure happiness" series...I think we were laughing because he was clicking non-stop!

Greg and Freddy, my roommate. Should have focused the camera more here, oops!
