Dumb and Hummer

Posted by zhx on May 26th, 2008 filed in All, Randomness

The other day I saw an actual Hummer downtown — the original, boxy Hummer. It looked very out of place in a city like Portland, but when he came to a stop sign right next to me, I could see a “Biodiesel” sticker prominently displayed on the side. A statement? Or just clever camouflage to [...]

The Curse of Faith

Posted by zhx on May 23rd, 2008 filed in All, Religion/Politics

What I wouldn’t give to be able to speak my mind as eloquently yet bitingly sarcastically as this guy. Maybe I should get me one of those new-fangled British accents.

Mom to Me May 21 (1 day ago)

I spent the better part of the day today getting all political-like with the special lady friend, as we met up with a couple other Portlanders to hear Barack Obama speak. Unlike when we went to go see Bill Clinton speak, I’m not kicking myself for forgetting my camera; we stood in the blazing sun [...]

Seven additional tracks have been leaked from Weezer’s upcoming Red Album. I thought maybe I’d hold off until I could hear the completed, final and mastered album… but I caved.
As weird as it sounds, a couple songs (Heart Songs and Everybody Get Dangerous) almost sound like Red Hot Chili Peppers. And Pat sings on a [...]

Job Confirmed

Posted by zhx on May 10th, 2008 filed in All, Blog Entries

I got a call a couple days ago confirming that I’ve passed the background check for employment at Yahoo (the secret is eating the bodies). Back when I worked for CPU, I was making more money than I knew what to do with, and Yahoo is starting me at exactly double what I was making [...]

Whooops

I guess there was a little confusion among the volunteers with the local Hillary campaign about my attending Bill Clinton’s vote-for-my-wife event a while back. I just received a call asking for help this week because they’re a little short-staffed. They should be more vigilant in the future; I did NOT check the little box [...]

(11:15:52 PM) Bill: you remind me of the babe
(11:19:52 PM) Caleb: the babe with the power of voodoo?
(11:20:42 PM) Bill: holy shit
(11:20:51 PM) Bill: you totally jumped the gun
(11:16:14 PM) Bill: you remind me of the babe

(11:16:34 PM) Bill: the babe with the power
(11:17:28 PM) Drew: What power?
(11:17:32 PM) Bill: the power [...]
