Happy Halloween Everyone!!

I really didn't want to dress up but my manager was badgering everyone to dress up so I caved in.   Last minute costume shopping yesterday was horrid.  I drove all over and everywhere was packed.  I didn't finish buying my outfit until 9pm last night.   Can you tell what I am?   I'm a genie!!   But not in a bottle.   They let me out.  He he.

Thanks to DKSF for sending me this URL, I love this site!   It's The Rules for boys.  Read them guys!!

It was a marathon ping pong night last night with Lance, Jim, DKSF and me.  We played from 7pm until almost 11pm I think.  Whew!  It was a lot of fun.   Who would have thought you could get such a workout from ping pong.

DKSF and I were trying to get a little slamfest going on.   I'm surprised none of those guys cracked the ping pong ball.

Lance and Jim are leaving tonight to go back to Hawaii.  Sniff, I'm gonna miss those guys.   I'm definitely going to have to plan a trip to visit them and Dave Lau next year.

Today's screen capture

And for those of you who might want to do your own screen captures, all you need to do is hit the Alt+PrintScreen keys on your PC and then paste the image into Microsoft Windows Paint program.   I suggest saving it as a JPG file and not a BMP.   If you're trying to get a screen capture of me, I suggest opening up the Floating OfficeCam window and capturing that shot.

Last night was another night out with Dave Kwan and Lance.   We saw Jim briefly as he stopped by with his sister.   DKSF, Lance and I went out for a late dinner at Sun Hong Kong in SF Chinatown.  Mmmmmm.

Haven't been getting much sleep lately.   I'm going to need the weekend to catch up, although I hear you can never really catch up on your lost sleep.

I found this website today.   Can't tell if it's for real or if it's a scam.   Either way, it looks pretty funny.

HighSchoolAlumni.com

Thanks again to Fred Esteves for sending me a very cool URL today.  It's a website for Alumni of US High School.   You can look up other people from your high school, send email to them and add your own info for your friends/classmates to look you up.

Fredlet made my day yesterday with this URL, saying "The search for Mr. Right is over ladies..."

"I kiss you!!!!!"

Ok, I'm off to meet Dave, Jim and Lance for more hijinks.  Later!!   Kazu, we miss you!

Look what I got from those gorgeous Hawaiian guys!   Sent from the Microsoft store at the Sony Metreon in San Francisco.

Not only that, I got to hang out with Lance, Jim, Kazu, Kev and DKSF last night.   Me and 5 good-looking, studly guys.   Does it get any better than that?   I think not.

First we shot pool at Jillian's in the Metreon center, then we went over to one of my favorite restaurants where my buddy Louis hooked us up.   Thanks Lou!!!

 

And tonight, another night on the town with the fellas.   One of the perks of being BaddGrrl I guess.

Ev sent me this e-mail today.  I don't think it's accurate since I always wash my hair first and that is SO not my personality type.

you are a very likeable person with very few faults. However, the
key will be to make your strengths stand out and not just hide your
weaknesses. You are an average sex partner. You have great fantasies
about different techniques but unfortunately are not brave enough to
try them out. Your best partner in life will be those who chose
b) face.

And my friend Fred Esteves emailed me this article today:

What is the price of beauty or even good looking children?

An entrepreneurial fashion photographer from Malibu on Monday opened a Web site to auction the ovarian eggs of beautiful women on the Internet, with opening bids of $15,000 going up to $150,000.

"Welcome to ronsangels.com -- the only Web site which provides you with the unique opportunity to bid on eggs from beautiful and healthy women," said photographer Ron Harris' Web site.

Wow, what a weekend.   Very tiring but very fun.  Friday was great.  I finally got to meet Grace and Matthew of the Yams.    What a treat!  Grace is so sweet and Matthew is just too adorable for words.  And it was really great to see Brian again, yay!

Grace and Brian

 

Matthew

 

And of course, I also got to meet the guys from Hawaii, Lance, Stumpy and Zipper.  One word...  WOW!   These guys were even better looking in person than in their pictures.    I couldn't find a picture with all three of them together...

  

 

Zipper and Lance

 

Stumpy

 

 

The rest of my weekend was equally fun but equally tiring.   And not too productive I might add.   Didn't get a chance to run any of the errands I needed to take care of.   Oh well.   

I do need a new vacuum cleaner.   Any suggestions?  I'm thinking of getting one of those Hoover Whirlwind ones.  They're fairly expensive though.  Between $220-$330 depending on which model.

Scoring: Count up all your "A," "B," "C" and "D" answers, then read the category that applies to you. In case of a tie, read
both analyses.

YOUR SCORE:
IF YOU CHOSE MOSTLY "A" ANSWERS:
RICH/POWERFUL: You go for the gold. Being in charge--or charging up a storm, charges you up. Whether you "have it all"
yourself and are seeking a like partner, or are looking to hook onto a mover and shaker as a way of upping your own status,
esteem, or bankbook, you covet clout, connections and cash. A Princess Di or "the Donald" are your "turn-on" types, you
could romp happily with--in the boardroom or in a suite on the QE2. And you might be first on line if they were in the market.

IF YOU CHOSE MOSTLY "B" ANSWERS:
DARING/SENSUAL: You crave thrills and chills by day ... and by night. Testing the limits makes your temperature rise,
whether it's high-rolling in Vegas, wowing the crowd at a rock concert, or
hopping the space shuttle--and chances are, your "turn-on" type mate would be right up there with you (or at least waving and
cheering you on!) Whether your personal preferences run to
Madonna or Howard Stern ... James Bond or the Bionic Woman, you dream of climbing a mountain with your mate, and
making mad passionate love at the peak.

IF YOU CHOSE MOSTLY "C" ANSWERS:
GAL OR GUY NEXT DOOR: You're true-blue and traditional. A picket fence and Little League is more your speed than
jetting to Tahiti or jumping out of airplanes. Chances are, Roseanne's "Dan" or WJM's Mary is more your turn-on type than
"the Terminator" or Fergie. A compatible mate would snuggle with you each night at eight, pop corn in the microwave, and
pop a video in the VCR. The only "surprise" you desire is a vacation in Disneyworld. Whether you long for security because
you lacked it or learned from it early, it's the promise of a lifetime of stability that puts stars in your eyes.

IF YOU CHOSE MOSTLY "D" ANSWERS:
SENTIMENTAL/ROMANTIC: All wine, violins, and stardust, you yearn to write your own version of Love Story--and cast
yourself and your mate in the leads. A dreamer of princes, princesses and dragons, Wuthering Heights or Romeo & Juliet no
doubt stir you to passion, and you would "suffer" gladly (for awhile) to become or support your starving sculptor or cellist.
Chances are your fantasy "happy ending" might involve a gallant "rescue," a kiss, and a walk with your spiritual soul mate into
the sunset (or a cabin for two with candlelight) to the tune of "Be My Love."

I really surprised myself because I thought I'd really prefer the RICH/POWERFUL or the DARING/SENSUAL type not the SENTIMENTAL/ROMANTIC type.
