Californication meets Tranpacificism

What’s happenin’ New York City! So I spent 2 weeks in New York, which sounds like a long time, but I still didn’t feel finished with it! I’ll tell you what I did there though, because it was fun! BTW – I was in NYC (and Philly and DC and Chicago and Niagara Falls) in ’92 for a quick jaunt with my parents+bro, which i can still remember bits of.

Well first I must tell you that, by coincidence, the day after the wedding (the day I left Chicago for NY) was my good friend Lydia‘s birthday! What’s the chance of that! She had a whole+cool day planned out, from morning til night, with dinner at an interesting sounding place, Habana Outpost a “Eco-Eatery”, that I missed due to major lagging. I’d like to have such an action-packed (and convenient!) birthday myself! Hmm, better start thinkin if that’s the case! But Derek was already visiting Lydia, and anyways her apartment is tiny.. so what to do! If I didn’t have to drop my stuff off elsewhere in NY first and then come over I could come over faster.. (I could have, I still lagged, d’oh!) Then.. (DUN DUN DA DUH!)

First and foremost this post is to [belatedly] thank all those that gave me birthday greets (including the early and the late ones, those are in ways more memorable actually! heh..) I wanted to get my pix up before posting this, so that’s one reason it’s late, but I changed my “status” on facebook (since that’s where the most props came from), to inform all that I’m excited+happy for all the beautiful people in my life.. (a sorta stopgap that most probably missed.

As people who know me probably know.. I’m not the biggest, or even the first, to recognize/commemorate myself in any way. (Begin storytime) (more…)

(yet another entry written way after the fact and so pre-dated!)
Well, our story probably starts off during the 2005-2006 school year, when.. through luck of email? i decided that i needed to get in contact with the CRP (and also CCAT) webmaster. As always with my emails, there’s a lot of “unnecessary” or “extraneous” tidbits of information in there, so, in addition to what i intended to communicate, somehow, i ended up making my best email friend ever, KJ Coop! This isn’t quite a story of that, so I’ll make it brief by saying that, though KJ is way rad, we definitely don’t agree on all things (or see them the same), and since one of those points of difference is our opinion on school, I was sad to not see KJ continuing on at HSU this calendar year. Instead, now she’s up near Portland. Woa, that’s far! So, i think at some point she invited me to visit. (more…)

And that ends that chapter, of a not so pleasant of an [academic] year, living with a math major, whose colleagues described him as having “faulty logic”.. it’s .. more than ironic.

It’s weird.. such.. overconfidence.. such.. long-windedness, and cockiness.. and I wasn’t really sure how to deal with it. Zach wasn’t sure either, that was a pain in the butt for him (to put it mildly!), a time we will never forget, but not for the best of times, but for the worst of times.

So it’s one of my birthday of one of my friend’s today (Agnes), so I thought that instead of being overly traditional (card/email with happy birthday song/etc..) I should do what’s appropriate for here. My birthday was a month ago (6/8, Gemini!), and I had Las Mananitas sang to me by a cool folk singer dude. This is a popular Spanish song in Mexico for people’s birthdays, so I goog’d it. First, I found a Flash version of it. Aye! I wanted the lyrics written though, so I couldn’t searching. I got confused about whether there was more than one song by this name, seeing the word cumpleanos (spanish for birthday) nowhere in the flash, I got worried. Ends up it is the right song, and I found a nice site with the Lyrics, along with a translation. Trying to keep entries smaller, so the actual song’s below..!
