Last night we went to
Last night we went to go see "28 Days Later." It was all right, I suppose. I think I built it up to be super duper scary, and so when there were parts (about half of it) that wasn't scary, I kind of was disappointed...half expecting something to pop out to scare the shit out of me, but alas, it did not. The stupidest part was that we waited to end the credits to watch the alternate ending...and what happens in the last ten seconds? The damn film melts *sigh*. We we're all looking around the theatre to try to find an employee, and it was so deserted it was sort of like being in the movie. Except it wasn't only me running around the theatre, and there weren't any zombies. But you know what I mean... So yeah, after like 20 minutes, the film finally restarted for the last seriously, ten seconds. The technician managed to put the film in in reverse (smart) AND turn off the sound. But we did get to see the end, so I guess that was sort of good...
Other than that, nothing exciting so much. Tomorrow we go white water rafting. I've been checking the weather almost every day, hoping that all of a sudden, the forecast of "scattered thunderstorms with a high of 75" will suddenly (maybe miracuously) become "sunny with a high of 95." Last Friday, which was the original day but had to be postponed, was absolutely beautiful. It's sort of disappointing to know that it's not going to be a beautiful day...but I think it should still be fun.

Wow...so I've reached a new level of dorkdom...something that I didn't actually expect to happen. I started playing Quake....*sigh* So, yes, it's like five billion years after the bandwagon, but Scott and Avi play at work all the time, so I finally gave in a tried it once. OHMIGOD do I suck. But the saddest part of it all is that I am still relatively hooked. Mike threatened to break up with me (ie, "I refuse to have a girlfriend who plays Quake...") but alas, I play it anyway. If I could get better, that would be good. I actually think I got WORSE than when I started. How the heck does that happen? All I know is that I am really bad at the whole dodging thing...it's really kind of depressing. But hell, whatcha gonna do, right? So maybe I'll just play and play, and suddenly BAM...be good. Hahha...I wish...

Today is a...depressing day. Actually,
Today is a...depressing day. Actually, I'm really mad at myself right now. Something that I knew I did wrong a while ago, came back and bit me in the butt. I broke a friend's trust, and then b/c of that, he broke trust with one of his really good friends. He didn't say it was my fault, but seeing him so upset and knowing that it was my fault, really bothered me. It's a pretty shitty feeling and all. And he says that he doesn't hold it against me, but I am pretty sure that he does. And I sort of figured out that he might be "bothered" by me, I kind of put it in the back of my mind b/c he never said anything to me. But now I am sure that it is me, and well, I feel pretty shitty. I guess I'm a little mad at this other person who ended up telling that friend of his, but in the end, I think most of the responsibility falls on me. And seeing my friend so torn up, well, makes me feel pretty bad. I feel like such a bad person. I know without a shadow of a doubt that I would be mad at me too, and I guess that really bothers me. I suck.

On Saturday, Jim threw a party, and Shelley and I got plastered. It was totally crazy. Guess I haven't drank in so long, that I forgot that I'm supposed to stop WAY WAY before I feel anything b/c hell, it'll hit me sooner or later. So yeah, we played asshole for the first hour or two, then Shelley, Jen, and I had some shots. Shelley is more light weight than me, so she was out...so Jen and I went on. Then, Scott did some flaming dr. peppers'...burned his hand while he was at it too. But, we got some really cool shots of it. Then, Jen, John and I continued on some more...until Shelley started getting sick. So, then Jen and I had some girl time with Shelley (ie, lots of giggling on the couch, then giggling on the bed -- lots of talk about how Orlando Bloom is super duper hot). Then...it just went down hill from there. "I'm taking care of Shelley, Jen and I are taking care of Shelley" BOOM! "Shit!...I have to go hurl..." I became really good friends with the porcelain goddess. Lemme tell you, if the toilet bowl wasn't clean before, it sure as hell was by the time Shelley and I were done with it. I don't think Avi was too thrilled with us, but it was fun anyway. The only thing was that I was so "out of it" that I didn't get a chance to call Mike, so needless to say, he was not so happy with me *sigh*. But yeah, it was fun.
So...the next day I woke up to feeling like ass. Gee...are we surprised? I don't think I drank much water the night before, and I spent the entire day on Sunday recovering. We went and watched "Sinbad", and then went back to Scott's later to watch "The Eye". Sinbad was ok, The Eye was ok too. Nothing to spectacular.
Anyway, my friend just said something to me earlier that really is bugging me now. Dunno how to talk about it, but now I'm all confused and feeling sort of shitty. Ugh.

Today is a fat day.
Today is a fat day. Ugh.
Anyway, moving right along...last Saturday, Mike and I went to Corpus Christi for some sun bathing. I dunno why, but I sort of assumed that if the beach was on the Gulf of Mexico, it would be gorgeous like in the Florida Panhandle. I was wrong. Corprus Christi's beach is well, kind of like the beaches on the east coast...ie, kinda gross. But there were a lot of waves, and it was nice and hot, so overall it wasn't too bad. Mike got pretty sunburnt, and I turned a nice toasty brown (not such a good look for Asians, but hell, I'm in America...)
On Wednesday night, my cousin came in from Taiwan. So now there are two of us squeezed into my tiny apartment. It's sort of weird having her here since a) I've sort of gotten used to living on my own and b) she's always lived in Taiwan. But on the bright side, her being here is going to improve my Chinese. Yay. Actually, I think my Chinese has been sucking it. I was reading Meteor Garden last night, and I realized that damn, the newest book has a lot of Chinese I can't recognize. It was actually pretty depressing.
On the other hand, Mike took his first class in Chinese yesterday. Yay! Soon (like in a couple of years maybe), I'm going to have a full-blown argument with him in Chinese. My cousin was telling me how her and her boyfriend have arguments and switch between Chinese and Japanese. I want to do that! Haha. Maybe I should learn Polish or something and then it'll be a trilingual debate! Woohoo. Ohmigod...I am so dumb. Heheh.
Lastly, wanted to say "happy birthday" to Al. Of course, he is always mad at me, but that's ok... He's old and farty, so it's understandable. Hehehe. HAPPY BDAY! *muah* (hmm...maybe I shouldn't have done that, Mike might get mad at me...hehhe)

Damn it's been a long
Damn it's been a long time since I've written...shame on me. you kno, it's actually really hard to make yourself start writing again when you've stopped for a while. But I've gotten off my lazy butt and have started writing again. Go me.
So, here I am in Austin again. I sure do come here a lot. We're about to head out to Sixth Street soon, but I'm already dressed and ready to go, and not everyone is here yet, so I'm blogging it for now. This week has been pretty relaxing. I haven't really done all that much. After nightmare of submitting papers, I think I deserve to have a relaxing break. I even asked my advisor if there was anything she wanted me to do while I was (ie, read some papers or something) but she was just like, "don't worry about it, you deserve a break." which was pretty good for me. so yeah, I've been relaxing it like I'm back in grade school. I wake up around 10 am, wash dishes, read a bit, wait for mike to come back for lunch, do more dishes, go shopping, come back and exercise, and then hang out with mike some more. i feel like a house wife. i even did his laundry today while he was at work...kinda wierd folding laundry for your boyfriend, especially when he is not even around...
I watched Pirates of the Carribean last nite. Johnny Depp is SO good. I am so impressed with him. Orlando Bloom is hot as always. The lines that the characters said were pretty witty and funny. I think I might have to go see it again. It's funny, I have to say that I feel like I'm 16 again with the way I am obsessing with Orlando Bloom. Kinda like when I obsessed about some bassoon player that I never talked to in high school. Hahha...I think it's just the fun of having a crush on someone, even if they have no idea you exist. Although I have to admit, I feel a little naughty since I do have a boyfriend. But what the hell...it's not serious. I just like watching him. Heheh...
