Goonies never say die!
I cheated and scrolled through the WordPress prompts for one I liked. Here it is: What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times? Here are the ones off the top of my head, along with a random line I remember: When Harry Met Sally: I’ll have…

Don’t ask me that!
Did you know WordPress gives you a daily writing prompt? This was the one posted yesterday, March 6. What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain. I guess the answer to that depends on the situation and the asker. As a Chinese-American, born and raised in Southern California,…

Transcription (low confidence)
There are a few reasons why I love the transcription function for voicemail on my phone. 1. It takes longer to listen to a voicemail than read the transcription. A number of years back, my younger brother informed me that leaving a voicemail was for old people, after I had,…

Who moved my blog?
Every Tuesday for the last few weeks (months?) at around 1 am, when I’m suffering from insomnia, I see the Slice of Life email. And every time, my heart does a little jig of excitement. Ooooh, what will I write this week? But then I start to go through the…

Shake Ya Groove Thang Tuesdays!
I’m a Monday calendar start person. I mean, isn’t Sunday still the weekend? That makes Monday the 1st day of the week which also means it’s an odd day. Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday are even days–at least in my mind. Does anyone else categorize the days like this? Anyway, after…
