No posts in a while? Well, I'm auditing my website and picture gallery. I'm contemplating and testing out a migration to picasa. Stay tuned!Back in Boston and Shubes Gets Blinged Out (0)
I was back in Boston for more work. Conveniently, some friends of mine were in Boston at the time. Ed and Kia made a visit out to vacation with Ed's brother, Andy. Shubham was back in Boston to start a new year of school. It was cool that Vasanth was able to meet up too. We all got dinner at the North End. Good times.;)
I went back with Shubes to check out how he lives as a big shot law student at hoity toity jerkface Harvard. His building is definitely fitting for the time period…very colonial. I felt like I could've been walking into a building to be meeting up with Aaron Burr to strategize how to defeat Alexander Hamilton in a duel. Obviously the strategizing didn't go so well.
Shubes's studio is pretty nice and given the space, he's made it really homey. Anyway, the purpose of going was to unveil this package.
;)
Shubes got some bling! A pretty sweet Tag Aquaracer.

Nothing can stop that man anymore. Nothing.
Shelley's Wedding - Spaniards and Asians Speaking English Poorly (0)
A few weeks ago, I made the trip down to the bay area for the wedding of now Pablo and Shelley Montesinos. Ian, Janel, and I made a weekend of it and spent it with Sain. Sain and his family were so gracious and kind in having us stay at their place. Overall, I'd like to mention three major items.Firstly, I tried NA beer for the first time. I was offered some Clausthaler(you have to say it as if Rainier Wolfcastle were saying it). It's an NA beer brewed in Germany. I did not think it tasted like beer at all, but more like iced tea. Either way, it was Clausthaler(german accent) and it made me feel strong and efficient like a German.
Our main tale on Saturday was going out to Sonoma County for wine tasting. Ian, Janel, Sain, and I met up with Jamie and his girlfriend. We went to two wineries. The first was Hook & Ladder winery. I really thought the theme would be football. I was sorely disappointed to find out "Hook & Ladder" referred to firefighting instead. I should've seen it coming. On the plus side, I got to sit in the mini-fire truck parked out front.
;)
The next and last winery was Ravenswood. Here's Sain pimpin' and sellin' Ravenswood like its his job.
;)
Ravenswood held a special event that day that featured all of the grape growers that they source from. For the nominal entry fee we paid, we got to sample as much wine as we liked, talk to the different growers, and partake in some music and snacks. We were sold on the wine alone. Our stay at Ravenswood was heavy on the sampling and light on the talking to growers, though it was fun to talk to a few. Looking back, we really lucked stumbling on this gold mine cause it was really a lot of fun and was my personal highlight for the trip to Sonoma County.
Sunday was wedding day. Shelley and Pablo held their wedding at Fogerty Winery. The view was pretty amazing. It was one of those picturesque weddings you may see in a movie.
;)
The ceremony was short. The most awesome part of it was the processional music. The bridal party entered to the Braveheart theme and exited to the Moby track featured on the Bourne Supremacy. While watching the bridal party walk out on the aisle with a swift gait and exiting to the Moby track, I couldn't help but feel as if we had just briefed them on a top secret mission to assassinate somebody. It's funny how music just invokes certain feelings…like being some unstoppable killing machine.
The reception was great. I got to see and hang out with my buddy Alvin.
;)
And spend more time with Ian, Janel, Sain, and Amy who flew down from Oregon that day.
;)
How to Spot a Douchebag - 1 (1)
A man usually chooses one of three stances when urinating.(A) Both hands near the groin area.
(B) One hand placed on the hip as if doing a Captain Morgan impression.
(C) One hand at or above head level, using the wall as a support.
If you see somebody breaking out in a (c), then by golly, you've spotted a douchebag. Who in the world finds urinating so draining and exhausting that it's necessary to support yourself with your hand up against the wall? Do they break a sweat? No. Do their knees buckle? No. Do they find a need to somehow saddle up in a position to exhibit dominance over the urinal? Apparently so. Too bad they're also a gigantic douche.
If you see a boychild exhibiting this, he is probably a DB in training. Though it's almost worse because his hand is probably on the edge of the urinal or in the urinal itself. That's sick.

Apple IPOD Shuffles are Indestructable (1)
The things that I've done to Shufflerella(my shuffle) has been borderline illegal. Within the first 3 months, I had accidentally dropped it in the toilet and it kept on ticking. This was impressive on top of the continual dropping and stepping on that I always happen to subject Shufflerella to no matter how much effort I put into avoiding. You always end up hurting the ones you love most.The biggest test came recently. I was running and it started to rain. Hard. Shufflerella pulled through, but could only do so for so long. 5 minutes of being absolutely drenched finally turned Shufflerella off on her own. That's not so bad. I turned her off, slipped her in my shorts pockets, and planned on letting her dry off when I got back. Well, instead of drying her off, I haphazardly gave her a big old bath in the laundry machine in my shorts.
After a whole lot of drying, re-charging, and wiping the memory clean, she still ticks! In-De-Struct-A-Ble.
