JUST FRIENDS<\/b>
first and foremost, a random aside. i am undoubtedly at this point, the almighty ruler of the magical kingdom of \u201cjust friends\u201d, where everyday is a fun adventure in how not to start a relationship. thats me\u2026i rock. on the bright side, i have a date to my friends wedding in march. youre probably asking yourself tho, \u201cbut wait\u2026shouldnt he not be writing this in his journal, in case said person comes across this entry?<\/i>\u201d and i just have to retort, \u201cat this point in my life, do you think i care?<\/i>\u201d none at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the other question youre probably asking (if you know me well enough) is \u201cshit on a stick, shouldnt you know better by now?<\/i>\u201d apparently not\u2026apparently not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LUNAR NEW YEAR<\/b>
in other news, we had a relaxing hot pot thursday nite at anna\u2019s for the lunar new year. its the year of the rat\u2026cheer! i think. rats are kinda dirty\u2026but i suppose the chinese spin the rat in some kind of lucky, yet headstrong kind of way. we even got red bags from the resident married couple\u2026because the rest of us are sadly single.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MAY<\/b>
saturday i visited my sis in new jersey to see my new niece may\u2026woo! my sis was still recovering from her 27 hours of craziness, but she was back home with my brother-in-law and my mom, who was living with them for a few weeks to take care of both may and my sis. may has my sis\u2019 nose and mouth, and dave\u2019s eyes. we said he could have the ears too, but hopefully she has my sis\u2019 hair\u2026because dave has a jewish fro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

pics are already up on flickr<\/a>\u2026woots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IPOD<\/b>
oh and in other other news\u2026yea, i got myself an ipod touch. lolz at joo! yea, i knock apple all the time, but like the nano before this, im all for quality shit. the only thing i had against the touch was itunes, its paltry storage capacity, and its price. the capacity ive learned to deal with, the price i can deal with too. itunes tho\u2026fuck i hate itunes, you piece of shit software. i actually had to hack apart the install files (thanks to yukichigai<\/a>) to get itunes to stop being a dick and install on xp64. the hate, btw, comes not from itunes not being able to work on xp64, but from itunes not WANTING to work on xp64. but after i installed itunes and got the touch up and running, i started loading my movies onto it\u2026woots! i could only rip 6 before i left\u2026but gosh theyre sweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
