Yay. Thanks to denny I got a full on picture of all 4 of us displaying our war paint. We feel like we’ve entered a bit of a war in the house, since its the 4 elements against the trash lady. I won’t overshadow this entry with too much but needless to say, immaturaty is never very cool.
Anyways, I’ve been riding the fantastic Metro of DC. It’s nice, air conditioned, pretty quick, and padded seats. And I don’t have to stress about driving and hitting people. But one thing I realized last night as I was heading home is that, even though the Metro is so cool, it really cuts down on your coolness factor. Last night, we happen to be going home on the metro late because I have lsat class. And it seemed there was a big event going on at L’efant Plaza, kind of the heart of DC area and the center stop for 4 metro lines. And there they were, all fancy in their sequins, blue and red stripes, or off the shoulder dresses. A bunch of people dressed up for a nice dinner party, and they were all carrying two wine glasses. How classy can you get? But then really how classy can you get when you are standing on the kind of dirty plateform with flickering dim lights waiting for the metro, or when you’re sitting in the train under the way too bright flouresent lights that highlight every wrinkle or bad makeup line? Not happening partner. ahhh but really, I still think the metro is cool, I wish more city’s had them. After the horror of last year, commuting an hr each way by car, through the traffic jams of Michigan, what can I complain? Especially since I never go out in evening wear
And so recently at work, I’ve gotten into this recent fad of reading daddy blogs. My favorite is MetroDad but you can also check out other asian dad’s battling dipers at Rice Daddies. Their kids are adorable and they have some funny things to say about their experiences. Makes me almost think that my genetic clock is acting up. OH the HORROR. If you don’t remember, I had a horrible incident last summer where I had this sudden urge to find a significant other. OH the humanity! OH the sociatel condition of women! OH GOD make it stop. And now, here another summer later, I’m reading up on raising baby experiences. I want to stop myself, but how can I, I want to wrap those babies up and take them home. But really, thinking about it, I’m just like my mom in some sense and that means, I would demand that my cute little baby’s grow up and be independent and tell them to cross the damn street by themselves. oh well, to my future kids *toast* hope you’re independent and ready to run
And so I was browsing angryasianman, as I am apt to do on these very slow mornings in the office, when I came across a wonderful article about a CBS blooper. This is ridiculous. There was a wonderful comment on the rising sun about this article in terms of that it would have take just a few seconds on google to figure out that China’s flag is really not a big red dot on a white background. Here’s the original article, which they finally fixed after a loooooong time. The only thing they said after removing the picture was:
Editor’s Note: A previous version of this story included a graphic of the Japanese flag instead of the Chinese flag. We regret the error.
Yeah, this little line is really enough. -_-. All you really need is to do a little research, and then there is no regret. This really REALLY shows the diveristy of CBS’s staff, especially in the AAPI department.
That’s about it for my life. I’ve redeveloped my love of soccer. Watch games and scores obsessively but I don’t really care which team wins, I just want someone to score. I played soccer this weekend with Doris and caused my feet to become black and blue because I played barefoot. But it was fun. I need to exersize. And I really really need to study my lsat. It’s so intesive man it’s scary. My instructor: “And so the conclusion is that the enviornement is going to hell. What’s the premis that we are missing? is the premis that little cute bunnys are causing the world destruction of trees, bio diversity, and life as we know it? NO. it’s not, it’s evil humans. It’s not bunnies. No bunnies. But pollution causing, icky humans.” This is all said with a straight face and at two times the average speed. If she doesn’t kill me, my sleep will. Over and out.
