Scribbles

There’s a reason behind the lack of activity on this blog lately – February is one of those months. Cold, rainy, and mostly dreary, the month puts me in a hibernating mood. Alas I can’t shut down completely. So outside of a few small gatherings, I’ve been working hard, as part of my career-focused new year. I’ve got several projects happening, mostly boring ones. For instance, I’ve been filing endless tax forms for my the last few days. (I swear I’m going to hire an accountant next year.) On the other hand, we’re interviewing several software teams to for a major project. While the balance of fun and tedious work has been acceptable, but it’s still work and utterly un-blog-worthy.
 
That said, I’ve adventured a bit more into the LA food scene, trying different restos and enjoying the special course at one of my favorite’s (yes, I will have to dedicate a full posting about Shojin soon). It’s unfortunate that the recession has hit local restaurants quite hard. Everything from restaurant traffic to gratuity percentages has taken a plunge. They even extended the special Dine LA week for the entire month, which I plan on taking advantage of at least once more.
 
The great thing about Feb is that it’s short. And to end it with a bang, I’ve got this weekend lined up with events before heading out to NYC for a conference. Until then, you can find me in front of my monitor.
 

Been in a huge slump this past week, in blogging and most matters of life. I have quite a few topics to write about but couldn’t find the enthusiasm or energy to put them into words. Not sure why the past week was such a meh week, not exactly the best way to begin Chinese New Year. Wish me luck in getting my act together and being productive again.
