Happy Birthday, Brian!

It’s the 10th! Go wish him well! www.brian1.net.

nothing to talk about!

dude, this is a really boring blog. it’s not for lack of material, oh no. it’s mostly that it’s a lack of *appropriate* material, whatever the hell that means. i can’t just talk trash like i used to cuz people can find me nowadays! dude, i was able to google my name and find this [...]

“what the hell happened?!”

so about six months ago (wow, yea, it really was that long now…), i decided that i should quit getting gouged by my webhost and switch to a new plan with more s-p-a-c-e. i’m on canaca right now, which has been ok so far, except i’ve had to reinstall movable type and gallery all over [...]

Phoneless in the Bay Area

$8 orange juice Originally uploaded by jadepearli. While Jer and I are now back in the bay area (permanently), my phone is still in Taiwan, the land of $7 Florida’s Natural orange juice. Why the citizens of Taiwan feel the need or desire to import fruit products, considering the huge variety and quality of fruit [...]

to be… a quarter of a century old…

Flower Originally uploaded by jadepearli. so i’m 25. how does that work?! i could wax (un)eloquent about what it means to celebrate my silver anniversary on this planet, but it’s the same drivel you might read on any other mediocre blog… about being older in years but not feeling much different, about feeling young and [...]

taiwan

jer, the family and i have been in taiwan for the past couple of weeks, visiting family, seeing sights and whatnot. haven’t had much chance to post much as internet access has been a bit spotty and we’ve been having quite long days. i’ve updated my flickr photoblog with some pics from my new canon [...]

missing in action

I just realized that i have not posted for almost two months. so here’s a post. “post.” up n coming: U2 Coachella Taiwan (though not necessarily in that order. stay tuned.)

Lunch at Shin Sen Gumi

Shin Sen Gumi ramen Originally uploaded by jadepearli. So i finally got my camera attachment for my phone to start working, and of course the most interesting subjects to me are food and edibles. So let the food-blogging begin! Here’s my lunch from the middle of last week, a savory bowl of ramen from Hakata [...]

this is what happens when you have no content

A moment of silence

A moment of silence for the re-election of George W. Bush. My week was over on November 3rd.

I spent the past week worrying and tearing my hair out over this. 2005 California International Auto Show I am completely and utterly exhausted. Jenn and Brian, you are my heroes. Oh yes, and happy halloween. :)

Hunter S. Thompson is my gonzo journalism hero.

sixty hour weeks

…really start to take a toll on you after a while. now i’m no i-banker or lawyer or uber-geek working for some pre-IPO Silicon Valley wunder-company, i’m just a pr gal. but damn, having three active contracts and bidding on fourth and worrying about an internal ISO audit at the end of the week is [...]

haircut economics redux

haircut economics redux Originally uploaded by jadepearli. sorry the picture of my last haircut never took; this is basically the same cut, same length. it still feels really short… but i kind of like the shorter length. ahhh easier to maintain. is it obvious that i’m not sure if i like it? =P

photoblogging.. and other stuff

1. the irony of me getting set up with flickr is that i have no means of digital photography at this time. my digicam is up in sacramento. I don’t have a camera phone (although I could get a camera attachment for 50 bucks). ok, actually, i can probably get an attachment for $30… or [...]
