I just wanted to take the time to wish everybody a Happy New Year. Yeah, I know 2 weeks late. Sorry.
Well, I’ve been kinda busy. I decided to actively pursue looking for a new job. I really have no choice, I’m running out of money. I organized my iGoogle to follow a couple job boards, [...]

Sorry it’s been awhile since my last post. I was going to post an update last week, but wouldn’t you know it, the web servers were going through updates at that time. So couldn’t do it, then forgot. So here I am, almost 2 weeks later. A couple things have happened since then.
Early, on the [...]

Rowdy, was diagnosed with Cancer about 3 weeks ago. We noticed a growth on his neck. The new Vet (we like her) ran blood tests, took x-rays, needle aspirations and an ultrasound. The 5 aspirations came back as cancer, but only one showed the type, Mass Cell Tumor. The x-rays, blood tests and ultrasound did [...]

Last year I started volunteering my time to the Japan Film Festival-Los Angeles, this year I’m helping with PR. In the past couple of months I’ve learned so much about web sites, blogs and social media. There’s so much out there and I’ve only just begun. Today I signed up for Twitter. Have no idea [...]

Most of my friends have been trying to get me on Facebook for the longest time. Damn you all!!!!
I hope you’re all happy now. I’m not doing it because of you. It’s for the Japan Film Festival, to help promote it. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it. Now will you leave me alone?

2008 has finally came to an end. It’s scary watching the banks fail, the stock market tanking and hearing about all the foreclosures. I’m sure you all know somebody that was affected. It was happening everywhere. There were so many companies cutting budgets, friends and families that was worried about their futures.
It’s a new year [...]
