The Party Invite

I'm allergic to cats. No way around it and no matter how much allergy medication I take, it can be a pretty miserable experience for me when I'm in the presence of a cat.

Lots of my friends have cats and I usually just grin and bare it when I visit their homes. I never touch them, and of course the cat will sense my fear and will promptly rub their body on my leg.

Which brings me to a recent conversation I had with Tom:

Tom: So, did you get my email about the party at B's house?

Me: Oh yeah. Sounds good, we're free.

Tom: Oh, so you want to go? I wasn't sure. I thought you might want to go because they're fundraising for Prop. 2

Me: What's Prop 2?

Tom: It involves animals.

Me: Oh really?

Tom: Yeah, it wants to make it illegal to cage animals in spaces where they can't even turn around or move

Me: Nice. We should definitely go!

Tom: Did I mention that they have cats?

Me: Oh...well, B is a clean freak so it'll be okay.

Tom: They have *seven* cats.

Me: SEVEN cats?!?!?! (mouth wide open)

Tom: Seven cats.

I can handle 2 or 3, but 7 cats is a bit daunting. I think we're going to the party, but we probably won't stay very long.

New Look, New Purpose!

My blog got a face lift - heh. After months of searching for a WP theme that I really like, I think I've finally found it! Woo Hoo!

I'm still looking for interesting Plug-In options and widgets, but blogs are always a work in progress, right?  Any suggestions are welcomed. I'm looking for a good MP3 and photo plug-in BTW.

My renewed interest in blogging can be attributed to the awesome conversations I've had (over the last few months) on social networking sites like Plurk, Twitter and Posterous.  Thanks everyone! You know who you are :)

While you're more likely to find me posting on micro-blogging sites, this new design has given me a nice kick in the pants to keep this blog going. If only I could muster up the energy to get my chocolate blog moving again.

Looking at this photo my first thought ,was that I probably would not be able to fit into that dress today. But that's not the point of this post - heh.

Today is a good day. I'm on vacation, with Tom (and Jango!) confirming that what we did 5 years ago was not a fluke, and the best decision we've ever made -- so far.

Cheers!

This took me forever and a day to post. But it's finally up and full of HD glory.

Enjoy!

Um, Hi do you have a MySpace Account?

Well, I finally bit the bullet and flushed out a MySpace page.  I was stubborn and just not willing to do what everyone else was doing.  So I set up a Friendster page instead - ha!  In fact, I think some people I know have since deleted their MySpace account.  Oh well, I guess they can't be my friend now.

Seriously, I'm on this social networking kick these days - probably inspired by my non-stop Plurking.  My-oh-my I'm addicted to that new service (http://www.plurk.com/user/bigepaz).  I think you'll find me there more often than Twitter!  Should I set up a Tumblr account too?

As Tom is discovering W0W (thanks Veronica! No, seriously thanks) , I am discovering MySpace.  We are so NOT cutting edge. Oh, and I would like to be friends with Coldplay.  kthxbai!
