Back Again

Its been a bit since I've written here but I'm sure lots of happened since... well not really. Life has been pretty much routine, nothing special.

Well Saturday, I was happily asked to carry out some errands. Some of which required me to go into the
city. This "city" is San Francisco. A location which I love almost all aspects of except one... the driving. When I say driving, I mean every thing from driving to SF, driving around SF, and driving away from SF.

Driving to SF usually means dealing with the constant traffic which turns a 40-45 minute drive into some over an hour easily. Then there's driving through the city. It is simply amazing how a metropolitan city has so many steep inclines. I think this trip alone has taken a year off of its life. I dreaded every time the evil red light
forced me to stop driving up a hill. Then there is the final drive away, the traffic isn't so bad, but leaving the city as I watched it in my rear view mirror simply "sucks". Yes I said "sucks," I can't really think of a better synonym that better describes the city. So much to do, so little time. See ya later SF.

(next blog will describe my solo adventure in SF)

Birthdays Birthdays Birthdays

It seems endless. In the last month, I have gone birthday shopping every week, buying multiple presents. This trend continues on. Well tomorrow is my little sister's birthday. Being the great brother that I am, I waited the last minute. Honestly I usually buy it with good time beforehand but this year it crept up on me. So thus it starts my journey for the "gift."

I usually like to put some thought into my gifts... unlike my siblings who have two rules:

1. Cheap
2. Take no longer than 5 minutes finding it

But I on the other hand like to give a gift that will be meaningful or has some longevity. Being the genius I am, I thought Toys' R' Us would be the ideal location for the "gift." In a sea of infants, children, and mothers, I lurked through the Barbie section, board game section, the pink section, etc... After maybe 4-5 round trips, I almost gave up. The endless supply of crappy/overpriced gifts and loud annoying children almost drove me mad. Lets take a look at some of these crappy toys that are being sold to the children of the world...

1. $15 for a jump rope.... I'm apologize $15 for a jump rope with Barbie's logo
2. 15-20 or so Barbies that look almost identical, say a few accessories
3. $60 for a Barbie dream house.. which looks like they spent not even $10 making it
4. Almost $200 for a toy laptop... about $300 more and you can get the real thing which can do more
and be more useful for your child.
5. Battery packs that seem to go in only 6 or more... please I only need 2.
6. etc, etc, etc

Well I found the gift, but I can honestly say that I'm not completely happy with it. Battery powered fishing
game, whee boy I wish I was a kid again =P But seeing the wall of Transformers did make me reminiscent of those days when I could play with them without feeling too old because they looked soooo cool =)
