Belated Happy St. Patrick's Day Everyone!

I just realized as I was going down the memory lane. We never really had a St. Patrick's day celebration. We usually celebrate stuff like, Halloween or Birthdays, but we never had a St. Patty's day Party. Perhaps because most of us are asian and are not Irish decents....

Anyway, there are way too many white people in Massachusetts, so we actually celebrated irish style at my friend's house a day before St. patty's day. We had Guiness, Jameson, and Bailey's with corned beef, cabagge, vegetables, you name it. Although I don't remember much of it, due to two shots of Bailey's that I took, I remember food being delicious.

There's not too much to update on my life. I'm thinking about going to California for the summer, but I haven't completely decided yet. I'm not sure how long I can take off from my work (since I'm still getting paid even if I take a leave), plus, I still need to pass my cumulatives.

The good thing though, it is getting warm here. Intramural Soccer season is starting soon, and I decided to join, so the practice starts soon. I hope I can run...

I can right click!

I've been using an apple mighty mouse for the last 2 years and have been a mac user for the last 4. Now I know that apple is notorious  for it's long held 1 button mouse mandate. After switching to a mac, I was dismayed but I got used to it. When the mighty mouse first came out it was touted as Apple's first multi button mouse. I thought that meant that it had a click on the scroll wheel and side clicks. Only YESTERDAY did I find out that they also meant you can right click on a mighty mouse. So now I'm on a long journey back to relearning the art of the right click. 

I tried to wash my rabbit...

My rabbit this year is probably between age 4 or 5. Which is like mid-life to late life rabbit. Like all old things, she starts to stink. I've ignored it for a while now, but it's getting really ridiculous and she seems not to be able to take care of it. So into the shower she went. Needless to say she came out ridiculous. And spent the rest of the day painstakingly re-cleaning herself. She no long stinks, which is great, but I don't think I'm going to try that again. I spent a good 2 hrs blow drying her after the sun went down. Eventually if the stink comes back she'll be exiled to the garage forever. Cruel? think of it as a retirement home. My mom likes to leave the rabbit in the yard (she hopes that the rabbit will runaway) . The rabbit likes it as well. However, given the animals in socal, rabbit will either become dinner or flea/tick infested. Also the turtle doesn't like her very much nor do the plants. 

In response to the MTV dance off: AC Slater you've grown up to be a hotter than Zack Morris grease ball. Mazel Tov! 

Job search still going on. Meanwhile I've been getting into reading instruction manuals. You learn a lot. Yah don't ask. I'm also addicted to NPR. Lots of great story programs. One of the coolest is This American Life with Ira Glass or it's post college angst version: Love and Radio. They're all available for podcast. Check them out. 

How did I get onto NPR? it's a free audio version of the Economist. Don't get me wrong Linli, I think the Economist is a great mag. In fact my respect for people goes up quite a bit when I find out they read the Economist. But after a while it's practically unreadable. There's that curt monotonous and professional tone that can only be ameliorated by an audio version. Luckily if you're rich enough, you can buy the audio version. If you're poor, you'll have to read it. It says something about the magazine's clientele when it offers free print versions online and also has an audio version for subscribers--that they are important people who pay ridiculous amounts of money. Anyway along with everyday news there's a lot of programs dealing with comedy, music, short stories. Pretty cool stuff if you're a boring bourgeois hehe. 

Yup I think that's all the updating so far.

The Economist

I am utterly convinced that everyone ought to peruse through the Economist at least once a year. There are some fascinating articles that are written to the utmost succinctness, while being capable of being bitterly amusing.

Life is pretty slow. I'm now up to 10 screenplays that are brief outlines that are half finished. I really need to finish at least one of them this month. I guess I'll post it up when I'm done and you guys can rip it apart and tell me if it's any good or if it's just dirt. ;)

Manga was on sale at the local book store at 40% off per tankoubon so that brings the price to what they would reasonably charge in Japan. Man, I'm so jealous of all the people who get to travel.

Which brings me to a question. You guys going to be going down to Bear Town for graduation to partake in graduation festivities for our friends who are still there? I was contemplating a trip to do just that since it'll probably be my last excuse for visiting in the near future. :) Maybe we could plan something.

Liang!!! Where have you been? And Anna!!! I never hear/see any news from you! I hope you guys are all doing well and yeah... I'm bad at keeping in touch. I've been sleeping a lot lately again. I went to bed at 7pm on Friday and I woke up around 9am the subsequent day. I have no idea why I'm so darn exhausted and watching politics just depresses me.

Oh you guys should watch MTV's America's Next Dance Crew! I'm sooooooo enamoured with Kaba Modern. Now it makes me wish I woulda visited Irvine to see what it was like. I love their rendition of the GSlide. Oh yeah, any of you up for a trip to Las Vegas come August? There's a hip hop international competition I'm dying to go to!!!
