B-B-Q

27 Topic: out and about, shopping
 

stanfordThis past weekend was nice. I went to two barbecues on Sunday with Fariba. The second one was at the house of the guy who owns the pub where we all hang out. Who knew that pubs made that much money?;-) I spent all day Saturday at the Stanford Mall. Shopping until I dropped. What else is new? Well, I’ll tell you. These fabulous shoes, for one. And they were 60% off. Nothing beats that!

Bored and Still Sick

15 Topic: movies/books
 

When you’re sick, there’s nothing better than using that as an excuse to watch
tons of TV. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to do that lately but I thought
I’d list my latest favorite shows anyway. As you can see, I have really bad
taste when it comes to TV watching. Not that I have good taste in other areas
of my life. And I do have a life. Despite the long list of shows which may indicate
otherwise. Anyway, this is what’s on my TiVo:

  • What Not to Wear (the original) - BBC
  • What Not to Wear (the copy) - TLC
  • Sex & the City - HBO
  • Gilmore Girls - WB (don’t laugh, it’s a great show)
  • Queer as Folk - Showtime
  • Faking It - TLC
  • Penn & Teller: Bullshit - Showtime
  • Manor House - PBS
  • Coupling - BBC
  • Will & Grace - NBC

The Plague

14 Topic: complaining, life
 

I’m sick. It started Sunday night. Three other people in my group are sick too. And three more if you go up one level in the management chain. We’ve been calling it “The Plague”. Anyway, time to go take my super-drowsy meds.

Friendster

09 Topic: musings
 

friendsterFriendster.com is a pretty good substitute for the now defunct sixdegrees.com. Even though I only have 20 friends on it, I have over 11,000 people on my network. Most of them are amazingly hot guys. What’s not so amazing is the fact that 99.9% are gay. The other .1% is just plain ugly and/or boring. I know, I’m mean…

This is my first attempt to stage a blog comeback. And I won’t even try to change my name to something like “the blog formerly known as coisas & mais coisas”. Nope, I’ll just pretend like nothing happened and start reblogging. For now, there are no major updates other than the fact that I have been working waaaay too much. But I will do my best to not let that get in the way of my comeback.

In the meantime, check out the book I just started reading (yes people, that’s what happens when you’re working way too much. My reading choices have taken a drastic quality dive).
