So Much for My Vacation

I have no self control whatsoever. Just days after announcing my "leave" from writing, I've accepted a freelance job, attended a presscon, and started a story.

Oh well. I guess in this case, lack of self-control is a good thing.

The Bloomfields

Because internet has been down fora month, I wasn't able to post about my The Bloomfields article, which appeared on www.pulse.ph.

All I can say is that they are very nice boys who play really groovy music. Let's boogie!

Another Day In Court

So I had to go to court again. This time... nothing happened. There were no car chases, no convulsing judges. Instead, the people we were sing didn't show up. Sooooo... apparently, if you're being sued and you don't show up for your hearing, the judge issues a warrant for your arrest.

It's very weird to be partially responsible for someone's impending arrest.

It's also very weird to be in the same room with actual theives and attempted murderers and such.

Court is such a weird place

Hello, Goodbye!

For those who've missed my presence online (all three of you), my apologies.  My absence can easily be explained by a. my falling into a drugged stupor near the laser printer (another source of addictive fumes) and b. men.  More specifically, three men -- Bruce, who will kill me if I do non work-related stuff at work, Dr. Burke (McWho?), this nice heart surgeon Bruce introduced me to via his Grey's Anatomy DVDs, and Mr. Monk.  So now I'm back, for a bit, at least, thanks in part to Charles, who showed me the wonderful world of posting from your e-mail.  If I dissapear again, it's going to be because I have yet to watch Heroes, Death Note, Bleach, Season 6 of Scrubs, Season 3 of Grey's, Studio 60, and Samurai Seven.  And that's just the DVDs I remember.

Toodles!
