The Virgin Mary has been spotted

..in a window somewhere in the south. People have flocked to the window and touched the glass. Lo and behold, some people's fingerprints disappeared!

Not to worry though, the back of my stainless steel iPod has pulled through for me. An image of the virgin mary appears on the back of my iPod! If you want to see it, please bring your wreaths, gifts, Mary statues, and any money (to help with the upkeep of my iPod) and place it in front of my house. The lord thanks you for your generosity.

No cell phone charger!

Arrgghh, no cell phone charger. My phone is dying. If you need to get a hold of me, call me at home.

Woo hah, I'm the evil Spicy Samurai. And I have new glasses. Fear my wrath! Posted by Hello

one more memphis thing

Forgot my phone charger at the hotel. It really sucks. When you can't use your phone, you realize how dependent you really are on it.

Also, I FINALLY got new glasses. I'd post a pic, but since my phone is out of commission.... maybe later.

Back from good ol' Memphis

Well, made it back from Memphis safe and sound. It was touch and go at the airport for a while. Wasn't sure if I was going to make it back.

anyway, its Thursday. We got a three day weekend! can't wait. I've been so busy, I didn't even realize that Monday was a holiday until a coworker mentioned it. Woo hoo, some good news for a change.

So Memphis was nice, but I definately felt like a minority there.

Just saw Star Wars 3

Have to say it was ok. Pretty much what I expected and a lot better than the previous two. I suggest y'all see it soon. and watch the sequels!

y'all?! Have I been in Memphis too long? Actually, I'm stuck here this weekend. I was supposed to go home yesterday, but I've work to finish next week. I should be flying back on Wednesday. Later. I'm off to a Casino!

oh wait, I suppose there's one more thing

Memphis is #1 in the Nation in:

#1: Car Jackings
#1: Cars running red lights

Memphis week 1

:)

well, I guess I don't have much to say about Memphis. BBQ was ok I guess. I went to a Japanese restaurant a couple times for dinner. Neat thing was, the chefs were from Japan. I don't know that they were any good or not, but you usually get non-Japanese people making your sushi around here. They were a little unique. Of course, the people running it were from various other parts of Asia. I wonder if the locals ever notice the difference.

Speaking of other Asians, besides two people I saw at the BBQ fest and those at the Japanese restaurant, I didn't see any others! None at work. None walking the streets. None at the hotel. None at the mall. I couldn't believe it. I checked online, and Tennessee has one of the lowest Asian populations in the US. Neat huh?

the working life for me

Uhmm..I'll keep this one short. I gotta go to bed soon.

I'm going to Memphis for the next couple weeks. Definately checking out the BBQ. Maybe Graceland...naw.

Next month, I'll be going to Puerto Rico for about 5 weeks. I'll come home for the weekend every other week I think. It should be fun. Wish I was going there with some friends though. Right after that, I'm off to Japan for a month. 3 weeks is for work, 1 is vacation. I'm looking forward to this the most. Last time I went to Japan for work, I was only there about 9 days. This'll be cool since I'll be there for a longer time. I'll have to decide what hotel to stay at. Last time the Four Seasons was great! The hotel was awsome. However, they dont have a rewards program, so I'm thinking of staying at the Hilton in Shinjuku. I don't think it'll be as nice tho.

oh well. later !

After some basketball, I had to run a few errands (stupid iPod) and stopped by Borders while I was out. To my suprise, Lewis Black was doing a book signing that day. I caught about 30 minutes of his Q&A session and he was pretty funny. After that, he started signing books, so I took a picture with my crap-tacular (or is that crap-tastic) camera phone. just thought I'd share :)  Posted by Hello
