The Jacks N Joe in Life

February 8, 2011 eating out

As a reporter, I have interviewed many “big” people out there. I’ve sat next to a Supreme Court justice (and his big bad bodyguard). I’ve shaken the hands of all the major characters of Greek. I’ve hugged a rising hip-hop rapper. I’ve been invited to the Police Chief’s Trojan-decorated office, got admonished by a city [...]

October 10, 2010 giveaway

Time, time, wherefore art thou? I don’t care for superhuman strength. I don’t care for reading people’s minds, or freaky flexibility, or invisibility. I just wish I could control time.

July 10, 2010 blog meet-up

I always wonder what people are really thinking when I tell them that I am a food blogger. They all smile when I tell them, but their smiles can mean several different meanings. Sometimes, they smile indulgently, as if I just announced that I like to collect beetles during my spare time. Their smile says [...]

To Be Ambi-Social

July 8, 2010 eating out

Sometimes, I wonder if I’m anti-social. You see, I like solitude. A lot. I probably can go several weeks by myself and not feel the least bit lonely. My favorite time of the day is closing myself up in my own room, enjoying my own private space to do whatever I’m doing. I also intend [...]
