One Season Over, On To The Next

The White Sox can suck it.  Honestly, does anyone outside of a five-mile radius of that pile of dogshit they call a stadium care about them?  Oh well, the Minnesota Twins season is over, so where are we at…
The Vikings are awful.  I’m really glad that I haven’t had to sit through a game yet [...]

New Girl – Z

On Saturday I have a date with a new girl – let’s call her Z. She’s one year older than me and once again, Asian. Japanese to be exact. She came to the U.S. to “study English and go to college.” I could be putting myself into a similar situation as [...]

Good, But…

As you know, Girl A came over last night and I made her a Strawberry Daiquiri (which was delicious, by the way).  It really did look exactly like that picture I posted yesterday.  She showed up at 7:30, then we went for a drive for about an hour so she could experience my new car.  [...]

Girl B Is Now Girl A

To avoid confusion, I’ve replaced Girl A (the poor match) with Girl B, the “old flame” I went ice skating with a couple of weekends ago. Girl B will be coming over this evening and probably spending the night (she asked if she could). We’re going to have some popcorn, watch movies, and [...]

Bored On A Friday Night

Nothing to do, so I’m practicing that time honored tradition called “drinking.”  Tonight’s drink of choice?  Jim Beam and Coke.  Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done, especially since I’m drinking it out of a pint glass.
I know, some of you “purists” out there are saying, “Drinking it straight or on the rocks!”  No.  [...]

An Experience With CL

No, not Coors Light, but Craigslist.
It happened in early 2007. I was home from work for some reason and decided to send an email to someone posting on CL. She was fairly local (living on the peninsula), Asian, and seemed cool. Her ad mentioned some criteria (preference for white guys, tall guys, [...]

That’s Enough, Yelp

I am deleting my Yelp account.
My first review was on January 30, 2007.  I didn’t really pick things up until that summer when I started writing on a regular basis.  My final review was May 4, 2008.  83 total reviews.  I actually made a friend on Yelp, so that was cool, but she removed her [...]

The Urinal Story

I’ve told this story a few times while out drinking. It probably sounds better in person, but that’s no reason to deny it to you, the public.
Back in the summer of 2004 I went to the Alameda County Fair in Pleasanton with my girlfriend at the time. Ordinarily I don’t attend fairs – [...]

Moving On

On Tuesday I was told that Girl A and I “weren’t a good match.”  She wanted to move slowly, but I’m pretty sure it was the whole dim sum/running errands experience that gave her all the info she needed.  Personally, I thought I handled it like a trooper.  Here I was, driving my soon-to-be traded [...]
