Due to certain circumstances, I was in Montreal. Coincidentally, Canada had elections, and the results indicate that the Conservative Party is winning. What that really means remains to be seen, but the Liberal Party wasn’t exactly looking all clean and lovely, and, gosh, those political ads was such mudslinging (“Vote for a Better Canada” to [...]

I’m in SF, actually Marin County, Novato now. I had to scramble for a flight and found a good NYC travel agent my dad uses for his China trips. I’d highly recommend Jessie from Far Eastern Travel International to get your tickets. Fast and accurate. I had basically 2 days to book a cheapo flight [...]

Much catching up with friends and routines this weekend. Saturday, started the gym again for the first time. I’m still sore today. We saw the Fra Angelico exhibit at the Met. This early Renassiance artist produced spectacular religious artwork, one of which demonstrated some of the first modern usages of perspective. Afterwards saw Syriana, which [...]

The whale that managed to get up the River Thames has died. Sad. A brief summary on the whale drama, in the NY Times.

Almost entirely caught up on watching ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” (my VCR working overtime, as usual). That Sandra Oh’s quite an actress – as much as her Christina Yang character’s such an annoying thing, you get caught up in Yang’s quirks. Is she serious about Dr. Burke? (Burke, while her boss, is at least not married, [...]

Boy, has it been a busy week. To quickly summarize, YC is back in the New York area (acutally New Jersey), but he barely has cell phone coverage, not to mention Internet access. P and I had dinner at Kapadokya, a Turkish restaurant in Brooklyn Heights, with him and his wife on Monday. Earlier that [...]

Stuff: Is Mayor Bloomberg starting to sound like a New Yorker? Bensonhurst memories, back when it was still an Italian-American enclave. Saturday – I saw “Match Point” – creepy movie. Woody Allen does London. And, I’m no movie aficionado, but it felt like he was trying to hail Hitchcock. Alfred Hitchcock. Can’t say if I [...]

Joy for Three-Day Weekends! Plus, take a moment to reflect on Martin Luther King, and the dream that America’s race relations will work out someday. TV viewing: Thursday night – I watched WB’s hilarious “Beauty and the Geek 2″ last night – season premiere. Premise: the social experimentation of pairing academically brainless beauties with socially [...]

I ought to get a life – I’m actually watching “Dancing with the Stars” as we speak. Well, Tia Carrere is on. She ain’t so bad; she pushes herself to do the dancing, when she’s a brand new mom and dealing with (you know) life stuff. (More importantly, Asian-Pacific American representation!). However, be advised – [...]

Interesting article in the New York Observer, “Office Builders Balking At Downtown Brooklyn”. Apparently, developers are having second thoughts about bulking up on office space, and are instead are going for residential and hotel development. Mr. Markman is representing another major property developer, Joshua Muss, president of Muss Development, a Queens-based developer who built the [...]
