Hawaii Part 1: The LA X Chronicles
Okay so I’m a week late but hey, it’s my birthday today and I’m determined to not do much at work today lol so, I figured I’d share a bit about the trip to Hawaii. Since it may get a little bit long, I’ll break it up into a few parts. Here’s part 1 and [...]

I posted this on YuBlog.org but I wanted to repost it here for posterity and all that jazz. So on Christmas Day 2009, a man who was on a government watch list (but not on a “no-fly” list) and brought to US officials’ attention just one month ago unsuccessfully attempted to ignited a “crotch bomb” [...]

Okay, so let me start by saying that I do have a video we made during our travels to San Diego last night, but the Internet where we are right now is stolen borrowed and therefore, not strong enough for me to upload it yet. I’ll get it up though (that’s what she said). In [...]

And the curse continues. I’m sitting here at LaGuardia, paying for Internet, because my flight is delayed indefinitely. 11:55am flight and it’s a beautiful freaking day outside. Today was supposed to be my non-stressful day where I didn’t have to work at all for once until Monday morning and could finally have a non-work-filled weekend [...]

As if the obvious wasn’t enough, here’s another reason why Delta is a mess of an airline. Last night, I received my weekly email with Delta’s fares. Although I’ve publicly sworn off flying Delta many, many times, the promise of a $69 ticket each way was almost too much temptation to resist. (Back story: This [...]
