City Folk

The first version of Animal Crossing for the Wii came out today! I loved it on the DS too, but it’s beautiful on the Wii and there’s some extra functionality (most of which I haven’t tried yet). I haven’t tried the online extra functionality because Nintendo is crazy protective when it comes to [...]

Wheel

We usually walk to the local grocery store, so we carry 2 backpacks (like the big ones you carry in high school:p) inside of one backpack with wheels (which Yut carries there and we wheel home laden with stuffs). This way we don’t need to answer paper or plastic, and anyways, three bags is [...]

Happy

Thanks misa! :)

YESSSSSSSSSS!

McCain’s concession speech was really conciliatory and respectful. Classy; I don’t think we could’ve asked for more.
OMG, some part of me didn’t think this could happen. Wow. Just wow.
On a lighter note, this is from pol:

:D

One Last Time

Edited to add:
OMG, I have ads for “Yes on [California Proposition] 8″ all of a sudden– dude, noooo, VOTE NO ON 8!!! Everyone should be able to get married, and enjoy all of the rights and responsibilities of marriage, if they feel like it. No discrimination if we can help it. Holy [...]

the Small Things

When someone sends a UPS tracking number to my Yahoo email account, there’s this feature called Yahoo! Shortcuts (which heretofore I thought was useless), that automagically makes it a link which takes me directly to the tracking page for that number (as in I don’t have to type anything). It’s awesome! I know, [...]

Not a Morning Person

Not like it’s news (I mean that I’m not a morning person), but this morning, I went to put on my contact lenses — I’m usually v. routine driven (cos that’s the only way to get through a morning) — always my right contact, then my left. This morning, I rinsed off my lens [...]

Oh Dumpling! My Dumpling!

As soon as all of my cousins were free on Friday when we got to MD, we all got together to eat. (I would say, “what else?!” except of course there’s always card playing, cross-eye inducing amounts of card playing.) CT suggested China Bistro (755 Hungerford Dr 301.294.0808), a little hole in the wall [...]

Long Day

Our flight yesterday was at 7am, and of course for one reason or another (one reason is my sister; another reason is my cousins, damn them — I’m a 9-hours-a-night-would-be-nice kinda girl) I didn’t sleep much the whole weekend. And there was a time zone change. So you know what happened? I [...]

Young Whippersnapper

Passed by a kid recently wearing a suit with sneakers, carrying a Jansport backpack, on a skateboard. When he got to the building he was going to, he switched his sneakers for nice leather (presumably) shoes, took out his leather notepad doohickey and stuck his sneakers in his bag. Clever! :)
Unfortunately, when I [...]
