More Spilling Adventures from T. Cho

Have you ever spilled hoisin sauce all over your beige rug? Let's just say that it looks like I have a dog who isn't house-trained.

Herbal Hair.

Flat-leaf parsley is my favorite herb. I add it to almost everything because I love the little flecks of green, and I also like the grassy and fresh herbal taste it gives.

Speaking of herbs, I bought basil one time at Fairway with the roots still attached. I stuck it in a pot after taking off some leaves. A couple weeks later, I had a veritable basil TREE in my apartment. It stunk up my whole apartment, and I couldn't stand it anymore. So I made a whole bunch of pesto and then threw the pot away.

Anyhow, tonight I made a British style meat pie and threw in some parsley. I was reading some of the comments to the recipe online and read that British people call "curly parsley", "afro parsley."

Maybe my basil just needed a new hairstyle.

I Hate It When This Happens

I realized shortly after my 10AM meeting today that I forgot my hair product. Crap. I wish I was one of those guys who could go without it, but my hair, I have to say, looks like a hot mess right now.

Don't Pull A Serena

Webster's needs to make a new entry for a "Serena". I wonder who the next person will be to go apeshit crazy on national TV and then feign innocence. I swear. Serena was so upbeat during her press conference, I half expected her to say "Oooooohhhhh. You all misunderstood me. 'Shoving a ball down someone's throat' is an expression. It was complimentary!"

Still Unpacking....

Boy, Summer 2009 sure has dragged. The weather, getting a new apartment, some guy drama with a jerk-wad, the economy, work sucking....it's been a brutal summer, and I am ready for Fall.

And maybe with a new season upon us, I'll keep my promise of getting back to this blog here.

A New Beginning

Maybe the week long staycation at home that is ending tonight was just what I needed to get back into my blog.

Or maybe it's the fact that yesterday I bought a 1/4 pound of Lobster Salad at $75/pound because surely that is the most interesting thing that has happened in my life in the past few days.

Bonjour from the French Open

The French Open was so much fun. I can't wait to go again. And typical me, somehow my travel arrangements got complicated and I ended up with a $750 credit from Air France. But not sure I wanna fly Air France or at least Airbus planes these days.

Here's a photo of me from Roland Garros!

Today at Roland Garros

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga

Novak Djokovic

Jelena Jankovic

Ivan Ljubicic

Juan Carlos Ferrero

Andy Murray

Fernando Gonzalez

Jelena Dokic

Alize Cornet

Julian Bennetteau

Arnaud Clement

Mardy Fish

Juan Carlos Ferrero

Christophe Rochus

Those are all the names I saw today at the French Open!  I was starstruck.  I got to see some of them so close!  I was so close that I could see the players' grips as they banged forehands and backhands.

The one thing I noticed--Andy Murray is gigantic.  I never realized he was so tall.

The best part of today.  Seeing The Fila Boys:  James Blake & Dmitry Tursunov & Rainer

 Schuettler.  Too bad two out of the three lost yesterday.  But at least they all have their looks to rely on.  Hmmm.  I don't know who I'd pick if i had the choice.

Pretty Flowers

This song makes me smile (and a little sad)

I'm Wearing My Birthday Suit Today

Happy Birthday to me.

Yes, I've been lame and haven't updated.  I've had some drama in my life with work being super-busy, buying some new suits, one of which I'm wearing today for my birthday (a couple were for a wedding, and another because I'm obsessed with everything that Daniel Craig wears) and some dating drama. But the biggest obstacle to blogging has been furniture drama!  Next week, it should (fingers-crossed) be all resolved, and then I can finally get comfortable in my new apartment and return to blogging!

Hope everyone is well (including the bloggers who I haven't caught up with lately)!
