Two weeks…

Posted on January 22, 2007 by Pinky

Sitting in our nearly empty place we realized that our plane tickets are non-refundable and our itinerary does not involve a return to square one, here. Sadly it is too late to change our minds and too soon to give … Continue reading →

Karaoke

Posted on January 21, 2007 by Pinky

Went out last night to grab a quiet drink and a non-franchised burger, only to encounter the Karaoke caravan from the land of the American Idol wannabes. When gf, Hubby, and I entered, we noticed the sparkling, scintillating lights overhead, … Continue reading →

Woman found after 18 years in a jungle

Posted on January 19, 2007 by Pinky

Had time to talk to gf today while driving to the the city of great malls to buy gifts for Binlaw and immediate relatives. Apparently there’s some strange stuff going on outside of this nicely polished bubble we live in. … Continue reading →

American women prefer to be….(gasp!) single

Posted on January 18, 2007 by Pinky

Seems the US Census Bureau recently released data that more American women are saying no to marriage. This prima facie statement ambiguously indicates that 51% of women are living without a spouse when, in actuality, it also factors in women … Continue reading →

Less than three weeks

Posted on January 17, 2007 by Pinky

The last bit of history is littered around the living room and kitchen for the last minute stragglers, bargain basement vultures to come this weekend for the imminent House Sale. In all honesty, the sign should say Life For Sale, … Continue reading →

New York City

Posted on January 17, 2007 by Pinky

Early this week the decision was made that New York City was the ideal place to celebrate my birthday, along with Binlaw’s and gf’s birthdays. It seems fundamentally unfair that anyone would have to share a birthday, especially considering there … Continue reading →

Celebrities

Posted on January 14, 2007 by Pinky

Once in a while, I dare to detour to the surreal utopian world of celebrities, wherein I inject my superfluous opinions on what Google assessed as the Most Popular subject on the internet that day. Presently, it is about the … Continue reading →

Mothers are hard to hate…

Posted on January 12, 2007 by pinky

I have been trying, albeit on a somewhat inconsistent basis, to find a way to disengage from my parents, and have frustratingly concluded that it’s like removing the white from the rice that Asians are partial to. It is hard … Continue reading →

Drunk Mover

Posted on January 12, 2007 by pinky

I watched with apprehension and disbelieve as the dimwitted woman signaled to her drunken male friend to help her move the precious green sofa that she had just purchased from me. The disoriented man was heavily inebriated, and judging from … Continue reading →

History For Sale

Posted on January 10, 2007 by pinky

Sold leather sofa today and was quite disillusioned about the prospect of the human condition where emotions are attached to inanimate objects. Seems like every item in my surroundings is for sale. The distasteful and loud blue bamboo pot that … Continue reading →

Tickets purchased!

Posted on January 9, 2007 by pinky

So we took the ultimate step today and booked our one way tickets bound for Bangkok. While I am nervous about the fact that the only seats available for two happens to be miles apart from each other, I’m ten … Continue reading →

Proper etiquette??

Posted on January 8, 2007 by pinky

I went out this weekend to a local bar with Hubby and gf. While I was seated with my gf, some guy came along and bought me a drink. Coincidentally, Hubby was at the bar at the time trying to … Continue reading →

Small things in life…

Posted on January 5, 2007 by pinky

I get so aggravated by some of the minute, redundant things in my life. So much so that I’d rather be jabbed with a needle ten times over than to have to experience the excruciating pain of reliving it all … Continue reading →

Birthdays

Posted on January 5, 2007 by pinky

Birthdays suck. It’s a constant reminder that life is moving along and that time is not your friend. Neither is gravity. Who are your friends when it comes to birthdays? Do people who send you a card once a year … Continue reading →

Life in two suitcases

Posted on January 4, 2007 by pinky

I can’t believe I have to pack my personal history, 33 years of it, into two lousy semi-efficient suitcases to be traversed at the international terminal. How do you distinguish between what’s worth keeping and tossing out to the hobos … Continue reading →

Happy New Year!!

Posted on January 2, 2007 by pinky

There’s plenty to wish for in the new year, but none any different from those we wished for last year or years before, except maybe a few more pounds off than last. Either way, it seems almost pointless to really … Continue reading →
