Have a happy holidays. Yada, blah, bleh. Try not to max out your credit cards. I’m enjoying my new iPod. Thanks quyster!

My family used to be more festive in the past. As we grew older, the magic just seem to fade. We no longer decorate the house, nor put up a Christmas tree. It’s just another mundane day. So boring…

I finally got rid of blogger. Blogger is a good system, but I would like to transfer my site over to mac.com which unfortunately doesn’t support ftp transfers. Moveable Type gives me greater control of my blog. Although, I think I went over board because I don’t blog that often.

So far, I’m happy with the setup. I just run Moveable Type on my OS X box and publish the generated html to my mounted iDisk.

So it begins… Before you know it, they’ll start asking themselves “who’s next?” Who else shall we “liberate.” God, I hope this war ends quickly. Everything is so eerily quiet tonight. The I-5 is unusually sparse. Is everyone home glued to the tube? Fear! Get them while they’re hot.

Food Poisoning

Ugh. I had my first case of food poisioning today. We tried this Caribbean restaurant by PCC. We ordered the lunch special which consisted of tuna, rice, and beans. The food was delicious, but apparently the tuna wasn’t cooked/handled properly. The effects of the toxin didn’t hit me until an hour later when my heart began to race. It didn’t bother me as much since I usually get heart palpitations when I get too much caffeine in my system. It worried Quy, since he doesn’t usually get palpitations. Boy, there was so much blood racing through our head that our faces were a bright red. I guess that would probably be the first and last time that I go to that restaurant. It’s ironic that sushi is safer.

Don’t Know, Clear Mind

Today was my first time going to a Zen Center. After crusing around Sunset and since we’re in the area, we decided to stop by the Zen center. When we got there, we thought the place was closed. But as luck has it, we arrived at right time. The Abbot saw us and welcomed us in. After a few chants, we did some sitting zen. The meditation was relaxing and totally cleared my mind. I had a great experience. Looking forward to tomorrow’s meditation.
