Reminiscing

Just stopped by for some inspiration while I write my business school apps.  How is everyone doing?

Have I Gone There?

Why does my blog show a random advertisement for the L'Ermitage Hotel in LA?  Well I am going to LA in a few days...

Step 2 In My Return: Some of My Old Friends Are Gone From The Blogosphere

Apparently Blogrolling.com has gone out of business, which made my blog appear to be possessed by some sort of devilish internet worm.  At any rate, Blogger now seems to have its own "Blogroll" functionality, which I have been happily filling out today with some blogs of old friends, as well as a few new ones.

Sadly, some of the blogs out there that I used to follow no longer exist and joined me in those who could no longer list "Blogging" under my Facebook activities.  Looking around at some blogs, and revisiting some old favorites, I realized how truly old-fashioned my blog is.  I mean, I have a link to Friendster on my blog!

Anyhow, I won't go as far as to promise that I'll be blogging regularly soon, since we all now how that worked out last time.  But I'm kind of getting back into this and as a published "journalist" (in London, no less), maybe my writing juices have started flowing again.

I've Succombed to Twitter

So I've started a "lazy man's blog" over at some site that everyone's been talking about, Twitter. I have to admit that sometimes, making my thoughts less than 140 characters can be a bit of a challenge, which is probably a sign that I have a lot to say and maybe should come back to this blog as an outlet.

At any rate, click here to check out my new Twitter feed. And who knows? Maybe I'll come back to the blogosphere.

A New Era

I just started my 4th job in my professional career. I really hope that this one won't consume every waking moment of my existance, and maybe I can finally resurrect this blog here (even though blogs are a bit passe now.)

Feel free to say hi if you are still checking on this.

Up Late

Up late now and was just thinking that I should rescue my blog and start writing again...

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

Karolina Sprem

Ivan Ljubicic

Juan Carlos Ferrero

Andy Murray

Fernando Gonzalez

Jelena Dokic

Alize Cornet

Julian Bennetteau

Arnaud Clement

Mardy Fish

Juan Carlos Ferrero

Fabrice Santoro

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)!

Stay Tuned!

Aww-right, I have figured out what I need to get back into the blogging game. My couch!

So I've been in my new apartment on the Upper East Side (Lincoln Center, I miss you!) for about a month now. At first, I was going to keep all my old furniture. But then I decided that I needed to cheer myself up getting all new stuff. Leave it to me. I'll save the economy!

In the meantime, work has been so busy that unpacking has been a long, drawn-out affair. And I also decided to explore the strange world of craigslist by selling my furniture, an episode of my life, which produced much drama over such rare and coveted items as a TV stand and a lamp with no shade.

Anyhow, the point is when I get settled in my apartment, I expect to be back at blogging. And when will that be? When the douchebags at Salvation Army finally pick up my couch! Would you believe that they actually STOOD ME UP last week?

It's late now, and tomorrow I'm off work to head down to Philadelphia for a friend's bachelor party. Stay tuned next week for TCho's World 2009!

Hello?

Anyone still stopping by?
