Sorry for being MIA; my so-called social life took over Wednesday and Thursday nights. Great to see you back, YC. Life in Taiwan sounds less maddening than it is in NYC… Wednesday night – pouring rain. But, I saw “Little Women” the musical – pretty good. Sutton Foster, the star, playing Jo March, the stand-in [...]

Howard Johnson’s, Adieu That’s it, I’m old .

Reality TV…. Taiwan takes the cake. What do they say? Reality is stranger than fiction? You can’t make up stuff like this: Are we the Qing or the Ming? I’m confused! You can spew blood and still live to tell. Watch it: Er, isn’t that a blood pool over there?! Where’s Blade when you need [...]

In a lot of ways, it’s apropos. I’m doing some technical writing for the Taiwan High Speed Rail project. The project management is a complete SNAFU and FUBAR. No one is responsible or accountable and there’s no money :-s. So lots of people may be hung out to dry here as the Taiwan gov’t is [...]

So, last night, a bunch of us went to dine at Kombit, a Haitian cuisine restaurant in Park Slope. It’s not Brooklyn Restaurant week anymore, but the list has apparently inspired us. Good food. Came home very full. I’m in the middle of watching “Enterprise” (well, actually watching pieces of “Enterprise” while channel-changing during commercials [...]

Passing Worchester on the Mass Pike rght now. The dreaded downpour didn’t materialize, but the fog is really thick. It’s not really stopping the Fong Wah bus driver from pushing 65. Oh, and happy birthday to AS. Tried sending a note to him but something’s wrong with sending email to him.

I’m going to be upgrading the blog to WordPress 1.5 this weekend, which will include new features and a bit of a redesign. This shouldn’t change how the blog itself works, but will help reduce the spam load.

Things move quickly in the last week. The beginning of the week, it was a sunny 80 degrees F, now its 50 and raining. My personal mood jumps quickly from vibrant to sad to indifferent. From wanting to stay put last weekend, tomorrow morning I’m jumping onto a Chinatown bus to get to Boston for [...]
