Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover

November 14, 2010 a picture is worth a thousand words

I went to an actual Brick-and-Mortar bookstore today. This is a rare occasion ever since Amazon.com was founded in 1995. (I still remember when I first heard about it. “What a stupid name?! Who would buy books online?! And why would I want to buy their stocks?!”) I do enjoy going to the book stores in real [...]

Bring back Thanksgiving! Please, no Christmas decorations until Black Friday…

November 9, 2010 imho is just a polite way to say I know you don't give a hoot what I think but I'm going to say it anyway

This is a post originally published last November. For some reason, ever since September, a lot of people have searched for “turkey” and landed on my post from last year, skewing my stat counts since I know all of them got the pictures of the turkey and left without even looking at my blog. Tis [...]

Meet Me Halfway. Cute vs. Puke

November 8, 2010 through the looking glass

I am sitting in the United Airlines lounge, home for the famous automatic beer pouring machine, (not quite) halfway back to Chicago, but already I stop talking to people in Chinese, and I am transitioning to my American self again. (My apology for falsely reinforcing the dichotomy of East vs. West. This is strictly personal: [...]

WTF Wednesday vs. The Silverlining Man

November 3, 2010 imho is just a polite way to say I know you don't give a hoot what I think but I'm going to say it anyway

As predicted, the midterm election results painted the map red. . . Yes, yes, we got bagged. It’s 5:30 am, and I haven’t slept. I have not packed for my trip overseas, nor have I finished getting the house ready for my absence. At a time like this, we need… The Silverlining Man! He will [...]

A Long Way Home

November 1, 2010 imho is just a polite way to say I know you don't give a hoot what I think but I'm going to say it anyway

Here is something that amused me for an entire hour the other day: Go to google map, search for Directions from China to Taiwan. Take a look at Direction Number 55. Here, I have taken the liberty to show you a composite screenshot. I am awesome like this. . . Before you sneer at how easily [...]

Reality bites. No. Reality kicked my ass.

October 19, 2010 no manual for parenting

There is no other way around it: I am a hypocrite. Isn’t it an ironic coincidence that after my holier-than-thou tirade against bullying and my immagonnakickyourpunkass battle cry, my 12-year-old son told me tonight that he has been called all sorts of names at school? Names such as gay, nerd, retard. Hurled at him, in [...]

I will stab anyone who says “Boys will always be boys”

October 8, 2010 imho is just a polite way to say I know you don't give a hoot what I think but I'm going to say it anyway

I wasn’t sure that you need to read yet another post on the recent deaths by suicide* of some very young people in this country. I thought it was all over the news and everybody read/heard about it by now. Besides, I will just be preaching to the choir: I have made a conscientious effort to not [...]

Jan Brewer: The New Face for the Fight Against Glossophobia

September 8, 2010 imho is just a polite way to say I know you don't give a hoot what I think but I'm going to say it anyway

Jan Brewer. We all came to know Jan Brewer, the current Governor of the State of Arizona when on the fateful day of April 23, 2010, against (and perhaps delighted in?) the rising controversy and media scrutiny, she signed the “Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act” (aka Arizona SK 1070), setting the record [...]

I Comment Therefore I Am: Vaginas, Mama Grizzlies and War on Stupidity

August 24, 2010 imho is just a polite way to say I know you don't give a hoot what I think but I'm going to say it anyway

Hello? *Tapping the microphone* Is this thing on? *Sorry for the screeeeching feedback* Hi. My name is Lin. And I run my mouth here. I sometimes do a set called “I Comment Therefore I Am” because comments more often than not are the best part. In the interest of full disclosure: Today I am going to lure [...]

Heartbreaking

May 12, 2010 imho is just a polite way to say I know you don't give a hoot what I think but I'm going to say it anyway

. . . . . . . . Our trip to St. Pete Beach, and especially North Beach at Fort De Soto was filled with moments of wonders: . . . . White sandy beaches, calm and clear water, massive expanse of azure that makes one understand what it means to not be able to [...]
