last night we went out for new year's dinner. grandma's friends joined us, which was great fun because nothing's more amusing than old chinese women. being in their company is wonderful but sometimes you start to worry about aging (sagging skin, sleeping problems, having to take fifty kinds of medicine, not being able to walk). when we eat, we ( Read more... )

the past few weeks have been really good. there's a sense of relief that i haven't felt since freshmen year. so now i'm focusing on icp. i bought a rangefinder off ebay but it needs repair and i'm not quite sure i can do it. it's a simple problem, but it requires taking the camera apart. we'll see. oh and many of my online accounts were stolen.

saturday...we went over to the ng house. the mama and the papas (because there was one mama and two papas) reminisced about their high school days and how the english they learned then was useless. a pan is a man and a man is a pan. then we tried thinking of places to visit over christmas break. where better to search than on the world wide web? so ( Read more... )
