Posting other people's photos
Anyone watch The Office? Anyone?
Yesterday was Diversity Day at work.
....oooh-kay, so no one knows what I'm referring to. Moving on...
I stopped taking pictures b/c my camera seemed partial to people named Jen and Daniel. But what fun is a blog without photos, eh? That is why I bring you LIFTED PHOTOS.
Went fishing this past weekend in a canal ... and had a great time catching large LEAVES and TWIGS.
This is Ron, Ed, Jennafi, and Tim. Not pictured: The bucket of fish we caught that afternoon.
Ah yes, you knew it wouldn't last. Back to pics of Jens and Dans:
Dchoi (who seems to be extremely happy to be fed by Dyu) treats us to Dolce Vita.
Let's all shed a tear. Dchoi has left Fairfax.
Dyu, Jen, and I at the Solar Decathlon where students from different universities built energy efficient houses right on the Mall.
Nice huh?
Once there were 4 kids working on a 1000 piece puzzle. Upon completion of the puzzle, they realize one piece is missing. They take turns accusing each other of hiding that one piece. Little did they know this was the least of their concerns.... Let's just say days later someone inadvertently clean up the puzzle. "Inadvertently" meaning "intentionally" and "cleaned up" meaning "destroyed."

Meaningless
No, this is not an entry on ecclesiastics.
Ok, I just read through some of my past entries and all I can say is that i'm a complete re-turd. Someone please shut me up. I'm not referring to any entry in particular, but quite a few of these postings make me want to gag. As I read I kept thinking, "What the hell am I talking about???" Hahaha...
Ok ok, so i'm going to talk about something a bit more meaningful. I love my parents. They are honest and genuine people. Did you know that Mama Huang played on the college volleyball team? Yes, she reminded me of this quite often when I was little.... I became skeptical in middle school when I realized she was as far from "athletic" as any human being in this entire planet could be. I confronted her and she confessed it was all a hoax. She tried redeeming herself by insisting she was the best athlete when it came to Algebra II. Did you know that Papa Huang wants to get an earring? Yes, in an effort to look like his idol Harrison Ford, he is willing to be mocked by the entire Dallas Chinese community. Daddy, don't do it. And please cut your hair, b/c "cool, younger men" don't grow long manes when they have white hair like you. And if they do, it's b/c they're gay.

The snowy egret saves me a dollar.
Hello people. Regular season hockey is about to begin. It coincidently runs alongside knitting season. Who wants to knit and watch hockey with me? [crickets chirp]
I just came back from Jerry's hockey game (he comes from the land of pho and bun..."#143, medium, no cilantro please"). Most everyone there was cheering for the other team. The fans (aka "fanmily members") were extremely vocal, but this one girl was yelling and screaming like she was auditioning for a horror flick. Our group of five starting giggling after one of these auditions and I guess her mom became really defensive b/c she snapped at us, "AT LEAST WE AREN'T SEASONAL FANS!" And then, "AT LEAST WE DON'T CHEER WHEN THERE ISN'T A GOAL AND KNOW HOW TO WATCH HOCKEY!!" I thought maybe she was going to start a fight right there in front of her kids. But she didn't. I'm just glad she didn't cuss, b/c heaven forbid my virgin ears be exposed to such profanity.
Speaking of cussing.... One of my friends will not say the word "ass." This was revealed when he spoke about a certain show "Jackash" replacing "ass" with "ash." It occurred to me that he might have difficulty with a number of words in the english language such as: "ashignment" (assignment), "ashets" (assets), or how about "ashashination" (assassination)? And what about when he actually has to say the word "ash?" How will I differentiate between the real ash and the ass-ash?
One more story. So I went to the new EXPANDED Tyson's Mall this past weekend. Jen and I walked into Old Navy just as they were having a gift certificate giveaway. The employee shouted out different items and if you had that item with you, you'd get a prize. "Anyone have a pen?!" And someone would pull out a pen and show it to her. I saw a woman beside me get $2! So a number of items were shouted out (IDs, wedding ring, lipstick...) and then she asks, "Does anyone have a book of stamps?!" which is completely ridiculous b/c who carries a book of stamps with them to the mall?.................
(: I do.
I emphatically pull out my book of 20 Snowy Egret (type of bird), 35-cent stamps and shove it in her face (as if there's anyone else to compete with). With a smirk, she hands me an envelope. Like Charlie waiting for his golden ticket, I rip it open only to find one measly dollar. Come on. I had a book of stamps!
