(my seat is the one in the middle) (and this is only half the company!)
by the way, my coworker got a fish-eye lens (the same exact one i ordered a few days ago, too!) - that thing is a lot of fun.
by the way, here is corey of lvtc fame; he is posing with the autographed picture he gave me:

Read this article: http://rap.about.com/b/2008/11/14/trick-trick-says-his-album-is-not-for-homosexuals.htm
Trick Trick said: "I don't want your faggot money any g**damn way. I don’t like it. Carry that sh*t somewhere else."
Way to be a bigot, Trick Trick. Also, what kind of idiot has a name like Trick Trick? I mean, really?
People like this really annoy me... it feels like we just took 10 steps backwards.

Arrived in Dublin & I'm loving it so far.
While in the airport, I waited for my luggage at the carousel & a bunch of people kept staring at me. Then some took pictures of me. It was at that point I realized, wow... I'm the only Asian person here!
We went out to a bar with Laura's friends & I'm usually not a fan of bars because they're small, smelly, and have a small selection. This car was what I would call a proper bar. It was great 
and it was super festive! Ornaments & white lights everywhere Loved it! Once again, stares. Surprise surprise, only Asian there as well 
Oh well, I was in heaven - I <3 an Irish accent.

So it's technically *not* a dream, but one of my life goals has been to cook Thanksgiving dinner (the turkey, the ham, the gravy, and stuffing, etc.). It looks like I'll have a shot of fulfilling this goal next week.
Thing is, I know absolutely nothing at all. Anybody got some tips? Any particular recipes work out well for you guys?
. . .
I'm not kidding, but I received "fan" submissions to roycanhascheezburger.com: (first two courtesy of the juice, last 4 by tone-x). i'm not sure how to feel about these. given how much self-centered crap i write, it's probably good to balance it out with some humility:
. . .
There have been some murmurs lately. "Roy, are you gonna do those Christmas photos again?"
If you missed it, I went to Sears photo studio last year to make the most ridiculous Christmas cards ever:
Note the awesome women's Christmas sweater, the ridiculous hand pose, and the super awkward smile
I'm honestly NOT sure how to top these cards this year. I've been trying to figure out what else I could possibly do ... any ideas would be greatly appreciated - remember I'm shameless and I'll do nearly anything.
Currently listening to: Ozzy Osbourne - Mr. Crowley

I'm against prop 8/hate, and I'm completely for overturning it. I know that the people in CA who voted to pass it obviously have differeing views than I on this issue, but in the end, that's what it is, a differing view.
It makes me sad because in the end, of course I feel like my view is the 'right' view or that it's the 'humane' view, but for someone who voted for prop 8, I know to them that they believe that they are 'right.'
I don't hate those people by any means. I'm sad that in cases like this money plays such a large part and donations make the world of a difference, but creating blacklists to hate on people that donated that money? I think that is taking it a step too far. Have we not learned from witch hunts & communist scares that lists are no good?
Come on people... I hate prop 8, but there's no need to take that hate & focus it on the people that voted for it, they were doing what they believed to be right in their minds.

a nice change of musical genres for me, at least.
here's the embed to listen:
robin thicke - dreamworld
I would be you, you would be me, we would be one, we would be just fine
The ice caps wouldn't be melting and neither would I
I would just drive my big old car and everything would be alright
And energy would just fall down right from the sky
Words would fly right from out of my mind,
out of my mind... into your heart... into your life
And everything would sound just right,
and no one would stop me from drinking my wine
That's my dreamworld, that's my dreamworld, it's more than a dream...
Dreamworld, that's my dreamworld, and I wanna live in my dream
Oh, the real world just don't feel right
I wouldn't spend my days searching for... searching for lost time
I wouldn't be so damn sensitive, I'd let things go by
No matter what the weather,
I'd learn to change... I'd change with the time
And everytime I need a woman,
she'd appear right by me
she hold me tight, treat me right, and tell me that
everything is gonna be, is gonna be alright... alright
That's my dreamworld, that's my dreamworld
I would tell Van Gogh that he was loved, there's no need to cry
I would say, "Marvin Gaye, your father didn't want you to die"
There would be no black and white, the world just treat my wife right
We could walk down the Mississippi and no one would look at us twice
That's my dreamworld, that's my dreamworld, it's more than a dream...
Dreamworld, that's my dreamworld, and I wanna live in my dream

Went running around London tonight. I figure, it's be over half of my trip and I'm still not able to sleep before 3am... might as well make the most of every waking hour.
So, to Hyde Park I went... and Notting Hill.
I love the crisp air and strangely enough, the wet ground. There's something so 'Nike Commerical'-ish about it. Tonights soundtrack starting with some Kate Nash, Ben Folds, Foo Fighters (In Your Honor 2nd disc), & what not. The finale for the run? The Mirror's Edge song. It's quite amazing, I can't stop listening to it.
Ok, time to shower!
