The Day Kelly Hu Stopped By - Tuesday, February 28, 2006
So today is a day that will live in infamy...and not in a bad way. Kelly Hu stopped by the office! 
For those of you who don't know Kelly Hu (oh foolish mortals!) she's been in such blockbuster hits as The Scorpion King (as The Sorcoress).
X-Men 2 (as Lady Deathstrike)
And, of course, has graced the pages of many, many, many magazines like Maxim.
Oh dear lord she's hot!
So anyway, she came by the office to see me! Yes, that's right! TO SEE ME!!! And just so everyone knows...she is just as hot in person as she is on the cover of magazines or in movies. And to top it off she's cool as as well!
"Mike," I can hear you asking yourselves, "why on earth did Kelly Hu stop by the office to see you?" Well, that doesn't matter. She did...so there! So if anyone that I know posts a comment that says she didnt stop by just to see me, just disregard it.
We chit chatted for a bit then I walked with her to a California Chicken Cafe that's down the street, where we chatted about everything from Barbie Action Figures to her trip to Iraq. Then we came back and ate lunch togther in my office. It was an awesome day and I just had to share it (and rub it in your faces)! Yeah, that's right!
I rule!

Five Weird Habits - Wednesday, February 01, 2006
I've been behind on posting on my own blog and even further behind on reading other people's blogs. Over on the left you'll see a link to one of my friends pages - TURBO GEEK. Since I've been such a slacker I havent been keeping up on reading his blog so I didn't know about getting "tagged." Here's what getting "tagged" is all about...
The first player of this game starts with the topic “five of your weirdest habits” and people who get tagged are asked to write an entry about their five weird habits as well as include this blurb. At the end of the entry about your weirdest habits, you choose the next five people to be tagged and link to their web journals. Don’t forget to leave a comment in their blog or journal that says “You have been tagged” (assuming they take comments) and tell them to read yours.
So, off we go...
1. When my fingernails get too long I will bite them off and spit them onto the passenger side floor of my car.
I've been told by many, MANY people that this is disgusting, gross, sick, icky and a myriad of other words. I've also been told by numerous people that they don't want to ride in my car because of the fingernails or they will ask me, "Did you clean up your fingernails?" They're just fingernails, people. They aren't hurting anyone. But because of all the flak I've been getting I've had to work on curbing that habit.
2. I try to avoid making left hand turns.
Left hand turns are obviously a little more trouble. You have to cross traffic coming at you. You have to time your arrival into the lane you want to be in. You have to look both way before crossing the street. It's a lot of work especially in LA where there's always traffic. If there's a light or an arrow that allows for easy left turns, I will take it. But if I can avoid those pesky left hand turn I will.
3. I park in the first available spot.
I get really irritated by people who drive around and around and around and around a parking lot looking for that prime spot that's five feet from the door. It takes longer to drive around looking for that spot than it would if you'd parked a little farther away and walked. Usually I just park at the end of the row where there's no other cars.
4. I don't like to throw things out.
I always think if I throw something out I will need it the very next day. So I tend to keep pretty much everything even if I know deep down that I'm never gonna need it. When I clean my room...which is a rare occurance...I more or less just shift things into neater piles, keeping everything, even little scraps of paper.
5. I only wear free t-shirts (99.9% of the time)
Why do I only wear free t-shirts? Well, it just sorta happened that way. I used to work in a place where we got free stuff all the time and a lot of that time it was t-shirts. If someone said, "hey, Mike, do you want this shirt?" I'd say sure. Then it just became a habit for everyone to give me free t-shirts. Over the years my collection has become pretty big. Even when I'm in the store I don't usually buy myself t-shirts, although I have done so a few times. So now I'm just in the habit of waiting for people to give me t-shirts or figure out that I'm hinting that I want a certain t-shirt I've seen in the store.
And there ya go. I'm not really into "tagging" others to do this. Seems kinda like a chain letter to me (all of which I delete no matter how many kittens I end up killing or how many years of bad luck I will have). So I'll just leave it as if anyone who reads this wants to post their own Five Weird Habits, leave a comment and tell us where to read them.
