Getting Shit Done
I guess it's been about four months now since I wrote about my new career path. I suppose it's good to document a little update.
My First Knitted Sweater
After a couple of scarves and some hats and an unfinished mitten, I decided to go for it and try my hand at knitting a whole adult-sized sweater.
Remembering My Mother
I was unable to speak during the service, and am hoping that by posting this here, that some may get to hear what I had to say about my mother, Christina Ngo.
Landed Immigrant
It was a crisp Saturday morning when I woke up to give Stokoe a 6:15am wake-up call. We had planned to cross over to the US-Canadian border to finish up my immigration business, as well as take a day trip down to Seattle.
I Did A Bookbinding Demo at Langara College
At times I wonder if it's just me being overzealous about what I'm talking about, kind of like how Hitler gets really worked up in his speeches.
Alex Gibney’s Gonzo: The Life & Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
Gonzo follows the life and career of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson as he goes from an unknown journalist for Rolling Stone Magazine to becoming one of the most exciting political voices in the 1980s, and later, the legacy he leaves behind after he commits suicide in 2005.
Strengths Test
I was recently introduced to this book called Strengths Finder 2.0 by Tom Rath. It's an intreresting read, and was one of those things that struck me as a simple concept that I've never really considered.
Funny Girl
I was never a huge Barbra fan growing up. I know, it's weird as I'm... basically Albert from "The Birdcage" trapped in an Asian woman's body.
On Working Alone
Maybe it's a weird fear I have of looking like that kid in class who sang to herself and ate paste, but it was always a thing for me be extroverted and team-oriented.
I Found A Notebook
I came across and old little notebook last night. Reading through all that slog that had collected in it is funny. This notebook contained snippets of the past, much like bits of dirt that collect under your fingernails.
NYEEE
This year felt a little less fancy for me, really. Long gone are the nights of drinking into the wee hours and dancing with lesbians. They are now replaced by hanging out with my cat watching the Diva Network.
Films: Frank Capra’s “Pocketful of Miracles”
It's not really a Christmas tradition in the realms of It's a Wonderful Life or Miracle at 34th Street, but it's one of those nice movies to watch once whenever it happens to be on.
