Greetings from Mountain View, Cali!

Greetings from Mountain View, Cali! Here for business at my new job (just for one day, kind of crazy). But, thought I would share a very funny story!

Went to the security office to take a picture for my security badge... guy takes the picture, looks at his screen and is like "why is your hair purple", then he looks at me, "oh". HAHA. :) Cute :)

WoW Diet

Tue Apr 11 14:44:42 EDT 2006
Have decided to do a series of social experiments. My friend Jennifer and I are going to go to various (or many the same) bars and see how many people (men) approach us when we vary different aspects of our looks or behavior. These variables include: (1) Wearings skirts vs. pants (2) different colors (3) glasses vs. no glasses (4) hair up vs. down (5) male friend vs. no male friend. If there are any others... we'll let you know how this goes. I hope to update all findings and give charts of our progress.

Next item... I'm now on the WoW diet (World of Warcraft diet). I notice that I don't really eat when I am playing... so, this is a really effective diet! Whee. :)

[How to Hook a Hottie at JavaOne]: Introduction

[How to Hook a Hottie at JavaOne]: Introduction

This is the beginning of my new online blog saga on "How to Hook a Hottie at JavaOne". Now--to give you all some background on this... I am not necessarily seeking a relationship. However, it is somewhat a goal of mine not to be completely single and alone when I am old. :) If I did end up single forever, I think I would be ok with that. I enjoy my independence, time with my friends, family, and playing World of Warcraft.

But, give that I will be going to JavaOne this year in San Francisco (May 16 - May 19), I thought it would be interesting to do a social experiment and write a blog/short story on "How to Hook a Hottie at JavaOne".

You may be concerned and ask... "Are there going to be any hotties at JavaOne?" Well, I'm going to be there--so, there is at least one. I'm imagining that there must be at least one other (male, single) hottie there? If not, I'll just concentrate on my Java stuff.

So, keep tuned in for developments on my journey. I think in the next episode, I'll be talking about what to wear.

Paris

Tue Apr 4 10:34:51 EDT 2006
Hi all... recently got back from a business trip in Paris. I expected to work insane hours... and I did. :) I can say that I am a really horrible tourist... didn't going to the Louvre or the Eiffel Tower. We did go to Versailles one day... but, it was not that enjoyable because of all of the Japanese tourists and tour groups. However, I did have my priorities straight and went to THE CHANEL store, 31 Rue Cambon and THE Louis Vuitton store on the Champs Elysees. The highlight of my trip?....

My favorite quote from Beauty and the Geek 2: "I know nothing about anything." I like how "MIT Graduate" is a type of geek. And, this show really makes me want to be a Dungeon Master... kool. :)
