| Burning Down the House! |
 No, this has nothing to do with the song. Rather, this is a discussion of my decision to improvise when it came to cooking dinner, almost burning down the kitchen in the process.
Yesterday, there were plans to do a background barbeque at a friends' place, and he and I stopped to grab some fish to do a fish grill. No one but the two of us actually bothered to show, so I ended up taking home two leftover, uncooked salmon filets. (We'd filled up on some awesome hummus and grilled ahi tuna steaks, so we didn't feel the need to have the salmon too.)

| Weird dream... |
I don't normally have vivid dreams that I remember when I wake up. So a little surprising, figured I'd write it down in my blog. I honestly have no idea what it means.
So for some reason I'm working in the Montreal office, which for contextual purposes takes up some floors in a huge skyscraper in the middle of town, but all the people around are co-workers that I work with today in Los Angeles except for a few faces I'd met in Montreal. I see two of my friends running across the sales floor, literally running, and they duck into a stairwell. I'm curious why they're running, so I go into the stairwell and hear them above me. I go to the middle landing, but they notice me and stop talking, apparently they just wanted to speak in private. I apologize for interrupting and I start going down the stairs. For some reason when I open the door to get back to work, the fire alarm starts going off. Not sure if it's a coincidence or I caused it, but I go through the door to the elevators and I'm frantically hitting the down button but the elevator won't work. So I go back to the stairwell and litterally start running down til I get to the ground floor and outside onto the street, hearing an announcement at some point how they believe it to be a false alarm but they'll have to evacuate anyway. I start walking around the building as people are filing out of the building, looking to see if I can catch any of my coworkers. I see one of them sitting on a bench outside, alone, and I sit down next to him. He tells me that most people he knows are going home because it's going to take too long to get all those people back into the building. I tell him that I think it's my fault the alarm went off, and he tells me that if it is people should thank me, because there are World Cup games on that people want to watch. And we get up and go walking to find a bar. And that's when I wake up.
I really, really have no idea what this means...

| Welcome to Mannywood |
 Today's been a really good day. It was awesome to keep a good day going at the end fo the day with being invited to a Dodgers game. I hadn't been to a game at Dodger Stadium for the season thusfar. I have been to one baseball game earlier in the season, at Wrigley Field when I was in Chicago.
I didn't have time to go home before the game to change, so I ran quickly over to the store to get some more comfortable clothes to wear. I'd originally just thought to grab a pair of shorts, but I figured when in Rome and picked up a Dodgers shirt, with Manny Ramirez' name and number 99 on the back. I guess that makes me officially a Los Angelean, a resident of Dodgertown in the foothills of Mannywood.

| It Begins Anew... |
A long time ago, in the same exact galaxy you're currently in today ...
I used to have a full blog where I'd expound on technology products I'd found, movies I'd seen, crazy stories from work, et cetera. And it was fun. But for whatever reason - maybe boredom, maybe a perceived lack of time, who knows (I doubt anyone, for I don't even know) - I abandoned this practice sometime in 2007.
A few days ago, one of my newly-hired subordinates on my overseas team decided to google me to see what they could find out about their new boss. When they told me this, I was a little worried as to what they'd find, but they had found my very own website and blog from back in 2007.
So they linked me back to my own website, which was no longer maintained, and it sparked an interest in me to go back and update it.
