i was originally going to save this post for the one-year anniversary of my boredom-induced blogging (the exact date is january 28th), but its prolly more appropriate as a new year retrospective anyhoo. ah 2003…ye flew by so fast. so to kick off another year of breathing oxygen and taking in digestibles, here is a look back at coo happenings from 2003 for none of those that care…

2003 IN RETROSPECT
- …aggies visit from beijing (and subsequently the first thing i posted about.)
- …the start of journaling/blogging with the opening of a xanga account.
- …and then bailing xanga for movable type. then realizing movable type is complex and going back to xanga. but then watches as tien sets his up and converts over, and wants to jump on bandwagon. so re-sets up movable type and converts permanently.
- …kasparov taking on a computer again…this time deep fritz. gets ass handed to him on several occasions, but eventually draws the 6 game series.
- …hauling my ass out of my parents home (finally) and taking residence in union square. soon discovers new roommates um…..”quirks”.
- …and is eventually convinced roommate is the missing link of evolution when asked how laptops run without plugs, how to control the volume on the remote, and an infinite number of other frightening questions.
- …discovering the joys of asian cinema. japanese/korean dvd purchasing ensues…
- …rocking the nyc asian film festival…and all was good…
- …rocking the ny/tokyo film festival…which wasnt as coo as the asian film festival, but nonetheless rockin’…
- …watching (and am still disturbed by) the masterpiece that is sympathy for mr. vengeance.
- …mourning the passing of mr. rogers…
- …mourning the passing of madame chiang, chiang kai-shek’s wife…
- …enjoying 2 matrix lovin’…bollocks to all the haters…
- …beginning (and continuing) my attempt to convert myself from a scrawny asian, to a slightly-less scrawny asian by hitting the gym.
- …anticipating, and then being let down by the shite that went down with the field day festival…
- …getting drunk and waking up with a tattoo. jk…no alcohol was involved. ouch.
- …moving into a rockin’ new apartment in alphabet city with fonz, who i know to be of sound mind and laptop knowledge.
- …friendstering til it hurt.
- …welcoming a new group of cornell alumns to nyc…
- …surviving the blackout of 2003 by sleeping thru it. then bailing for greener pastures in nj.
- …getting trashed on my 25th. two-five…a quarter…argh!
- …having greg take photos of my old town in texas and sending me the cd as a bday present. holy shit, you still rock…
- …improving my chess game infinitely against pescado.
- …being disappointed by cai guo-qiangs non-existent halo in central park.
- …fulfilling a childhood dream and buying a light saber. rock on!
- …hitting alot of rockin’ houses parties, including halloween in chelsea as a crazy 88…
- …and throwing my own rockin’ house party (actually my first since sophomore year of high school. sweet sixteen, word) which doubled as liz’s going-back-to-hk party.
- …not watching many movies this entire year, but buying an ass-load of dvds. of the ones i did watch (cinema, dvd, or otherwise), these rocked the most…

#22 – Yay! I rock!! Hey, did I ever mention you grew up in a shit hole? hahahaha
hey…its my shithole, and i luved it!
damnit, go back when it isnt torn to shit by a hurricane…
You’re right, having the two dairy queen signs intact would’ve made all the difference. 😛
oooh…ive been housed. housed!
the dennis is a cornell alum. maybe you two know each other…maybe not? prolly not. it’s a big school…with those scary ass hills and trees ::shudder::
btw, i’m looking forward to 08 as well!
ooh, fellow big red. jah, cornells a big’ol place with some 20k people. what school? off chance architecture? b/c they kept us locked up in the dungeon all the time, where we could either talk to the squirrels…or other architects.
you know what i hated most about my ithaca visit? the pairs of “cornell-on-my-ass-pants”. i’m not a fan of “words-on-my-ass-pants” to begin with, but the many girls on campus promoting buttliteracy, just plain pissed me off.
ah, ass literature…fun shit. i havent been back to cornell in a while, so im sure im missing out. tho nyc has enough of its own asses labeled “juicy“, “fresh“, “bitch“, and maybe the occcasional excerpt from heideggers “being and time“…
