About

I'm an expat Californian who is obsessed with traveling to strange and exotic destinations in the former Communist Bloc. I also like tacos, beer, surfing, trapshooting, and the geopolitics of oil. I currently live in Arlington, Virginia and work in Washington, DC. Read more about me here, check out my photo album, or send me an e-mail.

    I don’t understand why I sleep all day and I start to complain that there’s no rain

    Hey, the title is from “No Rain” by Blind Melon…how can you forget Blind Melon?

    Anyways, I’m really bored with this weather. The triple digits aren’t that bad…just wait till August, when it’s extremely hot…I just wish it would rain one of these days…come on, give me some rain…just for a few hours. I love when it rains in the desert…

    I suppose I’ll get enough rain in London, though, so maybe I should relish this dry weather. Hmm…no…would still like some rain to break up the monotony of this dry heat.

    Office Depot has been incredibly hot lately. The customers always complain about the lack of A/C (”Oh, glad you noticed…at least you don’t have to be in this building for 8 hours.”) The problem is, our A/C is controlled by corporate HQ in Florida (You know how the crazy California employees like to blast that A/C and rack up huge electricity bills) so we can’t do anything about it. How lame. I should have the 5th installment of Adventures in Customer Service up soon…maybe within a day or two.

    5. Christmas Christmas was good this year…had the usual Mexican food last night for Christmas Eve dinner. It’s a Fincher family tradition that we have enchiladas and tacos (usually from Las Casuelas) instead of ham and turkey. I guess that’s what happens when you are surrounded by all these wonderful Mexican...
