Guesthouse Daughters
One of the neat things about Singapore is that they have programming from many Asian countries on local TV. Subtitled! I have never been a K-drama groupie, but there are some shows I like. Then there are the silly variety shows. One I started watching (after seeing the first episode in SG) is called Guesthouse […]

Musings of a rideshare driver
I’ve not been flying for the past half year. I decided to get off my butt and make some money. But with my condition, how can? By driving Rideshare! Both Uber and Lyft. The two services have distinct characteristics. Lyft: Generally nicer pax, tipping in app, generally pays more. Uber: Busy (more pax), no tipping […]

The Man in the High Castle
There are some nice classic Mercedes-Benz cars in the second season. No BMWs so far. But a BMW bike has shown up.

Pokemon Go
What’s the big hook about this smartphone game? It’s the thrill of the hunt, both for monsters and for pokeballs. You need the latter to go after the former. You also need an external battery and unlimited data because this game sucks both. Fun way to get your exercise. Look forward to hunting when I […]

V is for view
This is the view 10 minutes west of my place. In the center is Seal Rock, a rock where seals used to hang out on. It’s extraordinarily clear because it was 9C and winds gusting to 40 kph. It’s almost summertime (the coldest time of the year in San Francisco)!

U is for upgrades
Nothing makes a transpacific flight better than confirmed upgrades after you click “purchase”. Usually, my upgrades clear from within a few days of the flight to an hour before. Suffice to say, it’s usually pretty stressful right before the flight. I have to fly US based airlines, so the experience is usually south of awful, […]

T is for Taxes
Since my tax situation is complicated this year, the always swamped accountant filed the extension and punted my returns until after the 18th. Today is the day of reckoning, where the Federal government yet again will rape me and my family with no jelly. There’s a reason only liberals and government types luurve tax day. […]
