My blog

  • Happy Belated 2011 ...

    Monday, Feb 7, 2011 8:59PM / Standard Entry / Thoughts

    Its been a very very long time since I last blogged on AnD.  But to be honest, its been a long time since I've blogged anywhere.  Even on my own websites, narom.net or wushuzilla.com, I blog with an increasing lack of frequency.  Once a month?  Pssh .... I've apparently lost my blogging mojo.

    Thats okay though, because other things have been a priority these days.  A lack of blogging for me usually means an abundance of living.  I've also been focusing more on my photography than my writing, which is a different but related issue.

    I have a few creative projects on the back burner right now, but nothing I'm going to let out of the bag at the moment.  In the meantime, I'll post up a photo or two now and again just to let you all know that I'm still alive and breathing.

    Since AnD is an artist-related blogging system, I will post up more artist-related blogs -- specifically photo blogs, which I think are probably more interesting to you anyway.  (Plus it will let Pat comment easily on what I post  )

    Here is photo number 1:

    Yes, they tasted as good as they look.

  • Phlog: Mom on a Walk

    Monday, Feb 7, 2011 8:59PM / Standard Entry / Photography

    Back again with another Phlog (photo blog).  
    This picture was taken during last summer's trip to the U.S.  (Think of this as my way of sharing what I've been up to for the past 9 months.)
    August 15, 2010 | Driggs, Idaho, USA | Mom on a Walk


    Replies:
    @Seeker09 - Good to see you too
    @Flagday - Yes, it was delicious.  I'll try to keep in touch!
    @bvngo - Erm ... no.  But good try!

  • Phlog: Double Duty

    Monday, Feb 7, 2011 8:59PM / Standard Entry / Photography

    Two pictures today since AnD didn't seem to load for me yesterday ... 

    August 3, 2010 | Bucca di Beppo @ Santa Clara, California, USA | Reeve's Tongue

    This is Xtina's son, Reeve (a.k.a. My Godson), licking a strawberry at the Cheesecake Factory in Santa Clara, California.


    July 31, 2010 | Roma Pizzaria @ Arcadia, California, USA | Peter vs. the Pizza

    Taken during a gathering of friends in Arcadia, this pizza is not photoshopped.  It is a 28" pizza!  And we went through two of them.  Just part of our 2010 pizza tour of the U.S. 


    Replies:

    @peachy: yeah, the fries were excellent as well.]
    @rottendoubt: they most certainly were!
    @Flagday: They might actually be visiting us in the spring.  Depends on a few variables.

  • Phlog: Moloka'i

    Monday, Feb 7, 2011 8:59PM / Standard Entry / Photography

    Our last stop during the summer trip to the U.S. was to visit Ruhi's mom in Hawaii.  She lives on a small island called Moloka'i, located between Uahu and Maui.  Honest, I took so many pictures that I wish I could post here, but I'm trying to keep my phlogs to just one picture ... or maybe 2.  
    Okay .. 3.  But thats the limit for today.
    Twist my arm whydoncha?

    If you would like to see more photos from this trip you can view them on my website gallery here:  http://narom.net/cat/travel/usa-2010/  (eventually I'll put them on AnD, when I've had time to organize things a bit)
    Replies:
    @peachey: Actually, they can customize the pizza to have any combination of toppings you like.  So, if you want 25 slices, each with different toppings, they can do that.  Or if you want just one topping on the whole pizza you can do that too.  We picked three different types of toppings for each pizza - Hawaiian, BBQ Chicken and the "Roma"
    @mhough: Nice to see you too.
    @Flagday: Carbs aren't the enemy.  Sugar is!  It just so happens that a lot of carbs turn in to sugar. ;-) ... lol.

  • Phlog: Adam SITing

    Monday, Feb 7, 2011 8:59PM / Standard Entry / Photography

    Today's Phlog subject is Adam V.  Adam is a man of varied talents.  Originally from Scotland, he came to China after high school and took a year of Chinese language at Xi'an Northwest University (西安西北大学) and then enrolled as a student at Shaanxi Normal University (陕西师范大学) studying Chinese Literature.  4 years later he graduated and was ridiculously fluent in Chinese.  
    Now he works for a company that works on developing the capacities of young people through the arts.  He is an artist himself and his guitar skills are quite impressive.  He and his band of merry musicians play gigs around the city and we happened to catch them playing right next door to my university on Shi Da Road (师大路) at Scultping In Time Cafe (S.I.T. Cafe). 
    (If you are in Beijing, you probably know of S.I.T. since they originally started in that city near the university area.  There are a few in Xi'an as well and they are quite popular.)
    Here is a picture of Adam playing with his band.

    @Flagday - I love my MIL!  She's really cool.  You can learn more about her on her website here: http://www.gaellenquinn.com/  You can pick up her book too, which is a pretty good read.  Check out the other photos of Moloka'i from my website too, when you have a chance.  They can be found in this blog entry: http://narom.net/2010/08/summer-in-the-u-s-a-part-4-hawaii/
