All the Asians

Wow I think I saw all the Asians in the Twin Cities tonight. It was Jun Bo's grand opening party tonight. They had free food and free wine, but no menu. I was actually at the restaurant at two different times, once to eat there and once to pick Amanda up. The people that were there at dinner time were mainly the older Asians but the people that arrived later around 9 were all the young Asians. It was weird to see all these Asians again, especially all those I met in the bars and clubs over the years. For some reason going to Jun Bo and seeing all these people and picking up Amanda to go home, introducing her to friends and carrying her bag made me feel so old. But it was good because I got to see friends I haven't seen in a while.

Still tired

I've been so tired this week. I think I'm still recovering from that LAN party I went to over the weekend. We started the LAN at 6pm Friday night and didn't get home till 8am Saturday. Then Alan and I went back at 2pm and I eventually got home after 4am. It was a lot of fun, playing games in a dark and empty office space with other computer nerds. But I paid for it. I've been tired every single day of the the week at work, tired when I get home and tired when I wake up in the morning. My body just isn't built to do crazy LAN parties like that, I'm not as young anymore. I'm at Danny's new restaurant called Jun Bo. They're having their grand opening party tomorrow night and Amanda is here training.

Partying it up, LAN style

I'm going to a LAN party tonight that lasts until Sunday. Yes go ahead and call me a geek, but I'm not alone because Alan and Steve are coming as well. The last time I went to one of these was about 3 years ago at the Radisson Metrodome where we lost in the CS tournament. After that loss, quite a few of us uninstalled CS and headed straight to Perry's to drink away the pain. Geez that was 3 years ago, that was when my cousin Stephen aka Keeler still had the high squeeky voice. That was when Perry's was still around and not ghetto. Okay, enough flashbacks, I'm ready to be a geek tonight, see you all next weekend.

The stable life

I haven't really written much lately because my life is so stable now. I know what you're thinking you single people out there... I feel pretty comfortable and satisfying going to work Monday through Friday, come home to have dinner, play Counter-Strike and spend some time with Amanda. When the the weekends come I try to get away from the computer and usually go hang out with friends. But this has been happening for almost a month now and I know I won't be able to stand it forever. That's why I need to do something new. Speaking of something new, I think it's time I do a BBQ party in Edina again. Grass and leaves are turning green and we're seeing more sunlight now, it's a clear indication that grilling season has arrived!

Tsotsi

Amanda and I went to see Tsotsi last night, great movie. Tsotsi is a South African film based on a novel by Athol Fugard. It is a film of deep emotional power, considers a young killer whose cold eyes show no emotion, who kills unthinkingly, and who is transformed by the helplessness of a baby. This film also won Best Foreign Film at the Oscars.

老大Prince

4月1日-4月11日 顺利抵达，其中种种，不细说了. Prince这两天可把我累得够呛，昨天竟然大施神法越过警戒线，跑去看人家打 golf,我千辛万苦找到它的时候它百般无赖似的坐在人家杆上，我牺牲了起码超过10块肉干才把它哄到家门口，可是它死活不肯进屋，大日头底下，我倒是围着它团团转,焦头烂额,措手无策.只能进屋狂找溜达时用的绳子.又不知道放哪去了.幸好Michelle在这艰难时刻及时回到,真是好比天上明月照我心哪. 赶紧和Michelle再出去找这个不知好歹的家伙,谁知道又跑golf course晒太阳去了,Michelle先抱后拉施展无上神功两人费尽九牛二虎之力终于把这家伙带回家. 今天prince一个人跑到湖边远眺,我又是牺牲了一块肉干然后把它哄回家.回来还得又安慰又送水的服侍半天.我和它老大Billy说了,今天下班后一定要找它谈谈,看来它有心事.这年头,做人比做狗还难,prince,你已经很幸福了

Things I miss about college

I looked in a mirror yesterday during my restroom break and I didn't look or feel like I did a couple years ago. I felt like something is missing, I think it's college, I'm starting to miss it. - I miss the fact that I can't just skip lectures and sleep. - I miss the amount of free time I had to socialize and recover from hangovers. - I miss the centralization and easy access of friends. - I miss the lack of responsibilities. - I miss being in a college bubble and pretending to be in the real world.

Amanda has arrived!

I picked her up from the airport today! I'm still in disbelief that she's here with me now. It's like I'm awake and dreaming at the same time.
