it's been a while. things have happened, but i didn't really feel like writing about it. i had the week off from work, since it was a national holiday, and i decided that it would be a holiday from other typing as well ( Read more... )

last night started out pretty normal. met my friend aus for dinner, like i do almost every wednesday night. we went to a department store and looked at overpriced pens. we split ways cuz i had a meeting to go to for an improv group that i recently found out about. i met some new cool folks and we were talking about going out afterwards. one of the ( Read more... )

i am now down to one turtle. the catfish that i bought on friday, i found dead on saturday. that was a good investment. if i only knew how to say, 'you cheated me and sold me a bad catfish' in chinese, i'd take it up with the store i purchased it from. considering the fish was less than $1, i'm trying to let it go. it's more the principle of the ( Read more... )

in the past two weeks, we've had three casualties. first it was a turtle. a few days ago, one of the frogs. now today, the catfish. what plague is there in my bowl? i'll go today to buy a new catfish, but i'm kinda getting to the point where i'm wondering if i should even bother. i hate having a defeatist attitude, but why have pets if they just ( Read more... )

blew off work in the afternoon yesterday to go clothes shopping. after much discussion and bargaining and arguing and back and forth, i got almost everything i wanted and for the prices i wanted. i also practiced some new chinese vocab, such as "it's too expensive". and from them, everything you try on, even if you look like a horse is so " ( Read more... )

why am i thirsty all the time and no matter how much i drink, the thirst never goes away?

friday night, went to shabbat dinner by myself (parents ate at home). it was a smaller shabbat and a bit chaotic cuz the rabbi and his wife are in israel. the food sucked, but the company was good. i had black label whiskey. good stuff. most people fight over the vodka. why??

after dinner, dror took us to the lake in the same housing complex. i'd ( Read more... )

last night, went for karaoke, aka KTV. it was me and a bunch of israelis. we went to this club that has a basement and a whole sinuous hallway of rooms with large screen tv's and leather couches and people coming to serve you and clean up after you. also, there was this whole cafeteria of free food. i dont mean potato chips, but full on meals and ( Read more... )

rode in a motorcycle sidecar last night. it felt so strange to be that low to the ground but on the road with cars. i was surprised that i wasn't scared. i thought i would be, but aus is a good driver. i told him to take it easy on me, and he did. besides, the bike doesn't go too fast since it's from the '30s. it reminds me of those nazi movies.

on monday, i was dealt a bit of a blow at work. i was basically told that i no longer have a desk or a computer in the office and i am to work from home. if i hadn't been in such a good mood, it would have really pissed me off. luckily michael took a walk with me and helped me to calm down. that is definitely strike two though. next week, if they ( Read more... )
