In the cold morning commuting to work, Johnny Hartman’s romantic baritone warms up our hearts with “My One and Only Love.” The lyrics say it all:

The touch of your hand is like heaven.
A heaven that I’ve never known
The blush on your cheek,
Whenever I speak,
Tells me that you are my own
You fill my eager heart with
Such desire,
Every kiss you give
Sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender,
My one and only love.

John Coltrane’s saxophone is no less lyrical and sensual. Thanks both for a romantic morning. Big shout out to my lovely wife at work. Can’t wait to see you this evening at GWSB Christmas party.

The house hunting is coming along. The contract will hopefully be ratified today. In the mean time, I am shopping around for mortgage loan. My preference loan consists of no origination fee, low lender fees, and of course, low interest rate with zero point. If you have any recommendation, please leave a comment or contact me. Thanks!

The rock remix of “Jocking Jay-Z” is banging. Gotta love his punch line: “Haters like ‘Hov, why you still talking money shit?’ / Cause I like money, bitch.”

Ao Trang’s new calender is out. Some of the shots are quite curvy.

Listening to Hartman for Lovers on my way home from work gave me a holiday spirit. His lust, romantic baritone and straight-to-heart flow over the simple, slow (sometimes light-swing) jazz rhythm bring a sensational sound of the holiday. Christmas is coming.

Although I had enough of Kanye West’s Auto-Tune singing, I haven’t had enough of his beats on 808s and Heartbreak. Kanye is not only a talented producer, but also a very imaginative one. His productions are inventive and futuristic. As I am listening to the record, I can’t help but imagining what if he had handed these beats over to Bjork who is a pretty space-out chick. The collaboration would have been fantastic. I can’t wait to hear someone put out a mashup between Kanye West and Bjork.

I haven’t been following politic closely lately, but I have heard of the recent controversy between New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson and the Asian community on the case of Dr. Wen Ho Lee. If you don’t think Governor Richardson should be a part of Obama’s Cabinet, go and sign the petition. I did.

Sniffing glue to get high among kids in Viet Nam is on the rise. One girl said, “the cheap glue could produce feelings of euphoria and was less costly than other drugs.” Holy smoke.
