"in eric's head" is a tribute to the countless number of great friends in my life who've showered me with an endless supply of laughter.
this blog captures what would otherwise be a random "...you won't believe" type of conversation with those near and far from me here in beauty-full San Francisco.
:: enjoy and cheers ::

BTW, please know that I'm way too lazy to spell check. I NEVER do it. And I'm okay with that. It's not that serious -- really.

2 years agoThe tell-tale signs:
(1) Co-worker is engaged per weekend update this morning
(2) Another co-worker just tweeted that he’s engaged
(3) Einat engaged and we just received our invitation

Seriously cannot wait for the goodie bags. Thank you Meuy for getting us in — gratis, no less!
2 years agoAs if I needed another reason to hate the ride “Invertigo” at Six Flags Great America. Last time I went, it was with Joe and EJ when we went for “Gay Day” and even while intoxicated, it was scary as hell. I can’t stand that “hang.”
The funniest bit are the sound bites that were included in the story posted on MSNBC (…seriously, though, would you laugh this off?):
“They’re being fed and drinks are available to them,” Kouns said. “They’re being accommodated quite nicely by the Great America staff here.” “There are people out there laughing, carrying on and talking about their experiences,” he said as the rescue was taking place. Many of those stuck on the ride could be seen swinging their legs back and forth as they waited to be rescued. The Invertigo consists of a seven-car train that takes riders upside-down six times, to heights of up to 161 feet, in one minute and 10 seconds, according to Great America’s Web site.

…really though?
2 years ago…seeing Serena Williams play last week only three rows away from the court. Glad I remembered for once to bring my FlipCamera. The last minute of Serena’s reaction is my total favorite—freakin Serena fierce, I love it. Can’t get enough.
2 years agoAnd of course, thanks to Chris for sharing this on our after-four-drink-cab-ride to Embarcadero.
2 years agoFor my bestie, Claire.
An ode to:
(1) Twelve hour phone conversations in highschool (including daytime and evening news, two meals, one snack, and bath). Btw, remember “Christina Mendonza”? LOL.
(2) Almost getting into a car crash because we’re laughing so hard from storytelling (…thinking about it, best ones are usually when you pick me up and drop me off at the airport).
(3) Door step conversations while getting ready for a fun night out.
(4) Watching recorded DVR television shows (usually, though not limited to, underage skate professionals, domestic disturbances, serial crime, dog whispering, true hollywood stories, little people, and conjoined twins).
I seriously cannot wait till the end of the month to see you and Einat! yay!
2 years agoJust saw this posted on Claire’s wall and I died in my chair laughing. One of the funniest parts was seeing the owners hands cosmically splashing about while the poor tortured cat with that desperate, vacant look in its eyes. Like with new drop of water a little piece of the cat dies.
2 years ago…laughing with Chelsea and Angela for 45 minutes over discussion of a mutual acquaintance (over 50) who recently became a fan of “morning sex” on Facebook.
…thinking to ourselves, this person coming into her current work place one day and being greeted with questions like “why are you so winded? it’s only 8 o’clock in the morning?” or “is there a reason you’re so flushed?” or even like “what’s going on with your hair today? rough start to the morning?”

I actually asked myself if I had enough time to pee.
…after already holding it for 4 hours.
…like really, who does that?
…like when did meetings become more important than the release of bodily toxins?
2 years agoFor Clara and Einat who are always “shut-ting-it-DOWN.” Completely fell in love, for the second time, when I came home to find repeats on my DVR. To quote Rachel, “I die.”
Seriously have to click and watch the video on above link.
2 years ago…is how on Facebook you’ll get event invitations from people for events nowhere close to a 50 mile radius of your current location.
…it’s like “yeah, I’ll go to your housewarming … in Toronto … Canada”

If i have to hear another promotional sound bite of her saying “Something you have to know about my family is that we’re as thick as thieves” I think I’m gonna scream. Love the show. Love her. But cannot stand that sound bite of her channeling Robin Hood.
