Last night in NYC there was a dinner at Thuy's sisters house. Her roomate Carol is a straight master chef. She made ribs, giant meatballs with shrimp in them, and this awesome shrimpy yellow ricey thing. Dinner was off the hook. I also got my first fix of call of duty in a while. Carol is a pretty legit gamer and has a 360 and an ps3. I'm positive she'd own me in MW2 and from her description gears of war too. It was a really chill night. Susan has a cool dog named butter who was quite the plump pup after staying with a friend. Friends usually overfeed dogs they're taking care of because it's more fun. Butter is actually the mom of Jael which is Thuy and Van's dog. The ride back to DC and the first day were pretty uneventful. It felt good to sleep on a bed again after 2 weeks on a couch.

Now for some less chronological stuff.
You know that John Derulo Imogen heap song? the message is pretty funny if you listen to it. Basically he says "I'm sorry for cheating on you but I'm gonna be rich one day so don't leave me. How romantic. Anyways I like the idea of him being in a house and having the roof cave in and him panic and yell "I cheated on you!"
I love getting haircuts from Mexican barbers. Compared to the places I'd been getting my hair cut, they always take hella time lining you up and making all the fades straight and even. I really like the attention to detail. I got my hair cut on columbia rd at Victors hair salon. The man himself cut my hair and did the whole straight blade and like rubbing alcohol thing. That's def gonna be my DC spot.
Tried to make chicken and broccoli the other day. Massive fail. Soggy broc. Overdone and flavorless chicken. BBQ sauce to the rescue. Sweet Baby Ray's makes it ok!
After my 5 meals a day pace in NYC I came back and joined a gym. On the plus side they're new years promotions so i get January free. I'm gonna try to be hardcore and wake up at 6:30 and go in the morning. My rationale is the following: when I come home from work I'm tired and lazy, esp after I cook. If I were to go before cooking I'd be too hungry. Shit's always packed at that time too. Supposedly your metabolism is higher when you work out earlier in the day. (according to Dennis) I like shooting around and there's always people playing full court at night. I joined monday. went tuesday night, wed morning, thurs morning, maybe tomm morning. Might take it off tho because I'm pretty sore everywhere.
I went to a Brazilian place with Mable, Seng, and Yan. Got my fejoada on. I should learn to make that.
Yesterday was super sports day! WARRIORS WON. UCLA WON. FAKERS LOST. U$C LOST.
It really doesn't get any better than that.
On woot.com I bought these ridiculous tripod flashlights. Kinda cool. Kinda too much. Woot is truly the site of impulse shopping. It's cheap and forgetable and when it comes you're like "why the hell did I buy this... oh well it's only $10?" It's the closest thing you can do to buying yourself a surprise present
I was listening to THE FINAL COUNTDOWN on the bus today and it's such a ridiculous song. Especially for the bus where everyone is trying their best to look at the least boring and at worst slightly hostile. I kinda wished they could all hear it but on the other hand the contrast might have been funnier. Something about the bus in motion even feels sort of spaceship like. We're heading to venus!
Just got my Arrested Development on. It's still just as funny.
I'm super sad because I finished the Wire. It was just so good you wanted it to never end.
I was at work for 10 hours today trying to get package of 100 folders for a conference ready so we can mail it to florida tomorrow. woooo
BTW I'm going home on tuesady! The annual affiliate retreat (two day long meeting) between my office, apalc, alc, and aai is in SF! So Tuesday morning I'm flying home. Got the whole day, then retreat from 8-5 on wed and thurs but the nights are mine! I'm actually pretty excited as I'm more homesick than I thought I'd be, I'm def further away and not with as food friends as say LA or SC. Not to rag on my friends here but it's not the homeboys.
Finally early front runner for video of the year is andy roddick at a zoo with koala's having intense tree sex behind him. When VH1 does their "I love 2010" show this will be on there.
