Jeff Loomis: clinic report - i heart guitar!
2009-10-17 15:13:00 One of the players who have taken the guitar and put his own stamp on it, done his own twist so to speak, of this current generation is Nevermore's shred lord Jeff Loomis. Jeff is currently out on a clinic tour with Schechter guitars in which he gives some insight to his philosophies regarding writing, playing and gear, as well as shredding through a nice six-song set composed of two Nevermore...

My T-shirt (and I) Heart Super Grover of Sesame Street
2009-06-02 08:15:00 Do you remember Super Grover, Sesame Street-origin superhero whose famous attire consists of a middle-age styled helmet, a cape with ropes tied around Grover's wrists, and a patch with the letter "G" on his chest? I'm sure you remember this dude. What I remember most from this skinny super hero is his act when he is trying to help someone in trouble by doing something ridiculous such as saying "Woobba, Woobba!". Although Super Grover uses super powers to help people from bad guys, funny thins is he ends up not helping at all -- nonetheless, he had saved me many times from bad moods. I really love this dude.Thanks to 80sTees.com, I can wear my childhood idol T-shirt and let it make my day ($24). Also available in women size, Super Grover T-shirt featuring "I 'heart' Grover" printed down the right side of the design.

It'll be the first time in years that I'll be spending Christmas with the family, and it's the absolute first with some of my relatives from Penang who will be coming over. Not to mention that it'll be the first time that the relatives come to KK, so I wanna make it really special. *Winks*Three. I get to do what I love: plan out the excursions, the family Christmas dinner, book the accomodation, work out the logistics... You get the picture.Four. I'll be taking several day's off from work. Yipee!Five. Someone's coming back for the hols. It's supposed to be a secret, but the cat's out of the bag. *Hehe*Six. There's plenty of excuses to play dress up (something which I hardly do).Seven.

I Heart Henry Paulson. China Is His Thing.
2008-10-06 01:35:00 Not for anything he has said or done on the bailout, on which even those of us who agree it was necessary cannot truly be happy about. No, I like him for his opinions on what the United States must do in terms of its relations with China. Paulson just came out with a very thoughtful piece in Foreign Affairs Magazine, entitled, "A Strategic Economic Engagement: Strengthening U.S.-Chinese Ties." The summary nicely summarizes the article as follows: "The prosperity of the United States and China depends on helping China further integrate into the global economic system." (h/t to The Black China Hand) Paulson says that no matter how one views China, engagement is the best policy: Some people suggest that China is a threat that must be countered or contained. Others argue that its growth is an opportunity for the U.S. economy and that Washington should manage this rising power through engagement. I believe that engagement is the only path to success. This is the kind of artic...

I HEART this site. (I couldn't resist!)
2008-08-11 01:17:00 This is the kind of thing the Internet should be used for. The great folks over at St. Jude Medical have put up HeartLibrary.com. HeartLibrary has dozens, if not more, interactive videos about the heart, heart conditions, and heart disease. The videos are easy to find, easy to watch, and easy to understand: doctors (real doctors, not fake internet doctors) explain everything in simple terms.This is huge, because people can get information they need to help them stay healthy or get healthy, and to seek help if they need it. It's not a substitute for seeing your own doctor, but it's a good way to get started and to be informed about one of the most important organs in your body.If you or someone you know needs more information about the heart, make sure you check out St. Jude's HeartLibrary.com, with videos about the heart, heart conditions like Irregular Heartbeat and more.
I heart mystery shopping
2008-06-05 00:23:00 I'm getting so much mystery shopping work. It's kind of ridiculous, but I'm pretty stoked about making easy money like this. Especially b/c I get to choose which assignments I do, what stores I want to visit, and when I want to do them. This is the perfect PT job for me.So, I started mystery shopping LAST WEEK, and by this Monday, after I complete all my assignments, I will have made:$65 from Assignment #1 (completed last week)$80 from Assignment #2 (requires one simple purchase per week for 4 weeks straight ... so technically I won't have completed this until the last week of June)$75 from Assignment #3$65 from Assignment #4TOTAL EARNED = $285The reason why I'm earning so much per assignment is b/c I have to evaluate more than 1 department when I go to the store. I don't mind, I'm there anyway.When I e-mailed the woman about getting paid out, she said that on average, we will be paid out for our assignments 30-45 days after we submit our reports. Not bad.

Ahh, I am such a kid, but I Heart Poop Jokes! Work Poop Survival Guide
2008-05-22 20:46:00 This is an oldie but goodie, I love this joke about work poop. Work poop jokes are good for so many of us with Crohn's Disease. Humor helps! Have a great memorial day weekend all. I have to go Crop Dust! (see below).Work Poop Etiquette We've all been there but don't like to admit it. We've all kicked back in our cubicles and suddenly felt something brewing down below. As much as we try to convince ourselves otherwise, the WORK POOP is inevitable. For those who hate pooping at work, the following is a Survival Guide for taking a dump at work.CROP DUSTING: When farting, you walk really fast around the office so the smell is not in your area and everyone gets a whiff, but doesn't know where it came from. Be careful when you do this. Do not stop until the full fart has been expelled. Walk an extra 30 feet to make sure the smell has left your pants.FLY BY: This is the act of scouting out a bathroom before pooping. Walk In and check for other poopers. If there are others in the bathr...

I was going to just reply to her comment, but I was going on and on, so I figured I should make a post about it. To me, listening to a good podcast while sewing (or driving or grocery shopping when I’m alone) is like heaven. Especially if it’s good. I feel the same about a good audio book, although, I’ve been picking duds lately. So I thought I’d share all my favorite podcasts with you. I hope you’ll share a favorite here too if you don’t see it listed! I included links to most of their websites, but I get all my podcasts on iTunes.

I Heart the Bear...and That's About It.
2008-05-14 17:03:00 by Nicole McIntyreSeveral months ago I posted an article about The Golden Compass and all the hullabaloo. My personal conclusion was that I was going to read the books and see the movie and use my God-given judgment.I just read The Golden Compass in December, not having the time or inclination to delve into the other two books in the series. Last night we finally had a chance to watch the movie.When I read the book, I could certainly see why some people would be offended by the constant use of "The Church" in a negative light. Especially since it was implied that they were corrupt and very Spanish Inquisition about heresy. Didn't really bother me, since we've already seen that in history. And the fact that it's fiction. Certainly in the first book there was no God Killing. I had been told that little tidbit was in the final book and I'm not there yet. So I'll save my final judgement on the literary side when I finish the series.I had also been told by several people that the mo...

2008-04-17 20:43:00 I must say, those Swedes make some damn fine meatballs. Until very recently, my only experiences enjoying their country’s home-cooked meal staple saw me sitting under big yellow letters that spelled out “Ikea.†But a couple weeks ago, I was called to Stockholm on a work trip, and I was able to partake in a genuine plate of the gravy-drenched morsels of goodness. Each were about a third of the size of traditional American or Italian spheres but dare I say ten times more delicious. The meatballs were accompanied by mashed potatoes and, of course, a side of tart-sweet lingonberries as well as a delicate cucumber salad. My lunching partners also ordered a side of other traditional Swedish fare, which included a kind of moose or elk pate, sweet pickled fish and a quiche-like cheese pie, all of which were delicious. The restaurant was located in the Old Town section of Stockholm, but sadly, I didn’t take down its name. But I did learn the Swedish word for ground beef—Köttfä...

I HEART Puddin' Head Wilson... Truly Superior Twain
2008-04-01 03:05:00 To all intents and purposes Roxy was as white as anybody, but the onesixteenth of her which was black outvoted the other fifteen parts andmade her a Negro. She was a slave, and salable as such. Her child wasthirty-one parts white, and he, too, was a slave, and by a fiction of lawand custom a Negro. He had blue eyes and flaxen curls like his whitecomrade, but even the father of the white child was able to tell thechildren apart--little as he had commerce with them--by their clothes;for the white babe wore ruffled soft muslin and a coral necklace, whilethe other wore merely a coarse tow-linen shirt which barely reached toits knees, and no jewelry.The white child's name was Thomas a Becket Driscoll, the other's name wasValet de Chambre: no surname--slaves hadn't the privilege. Roxana hadheard that phrase somewhere, the fine sound of it had pleased her ear,and as she had supposed it was a name, she loaded it on to her darling.It soon got shorted to "Chambers," of course.Wilson knew R...
