sunday blues

Haha. Well I was in a rush and didn't get a chance to talk about Geek Central in Long Island. Lovely. Since I got a friend addicted to dice, why not talk about it. Wii is the hottest new toy to hit the block in Geek Central.. every house is stocked with one. And no, most I believe don't own 'Cooking Mama' Which is unfortunate, because then maybe I would've won something. :) Magic Cards are not out of style, and most dice are called D-6s. Because apparently, Dungeons and Dragons isn't out of style either.

Also stayed in an environmentally friendly house in the suburbs (I think that borders on oxymoron-ic) where much water is saved because some inhabitants take it upon themselves to rid the world of the idea that 'cleanliness is next to godliness'

In any case, it's almost time for me to head out to church. So I hope you're happy now. I wish I documented Geek Central with photographs.. But that would have made the experience less than what is truly was.

Oh. and Sunday blues = I have an exam on monday already. rawr. need to study.

In other news...

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall,
All the king's horses and all the king's men,
Managed to staple Humpty's head together again.


I never knew what part the king's horses played in this, it's not like they have opposable thumbs.

Rainy days

Haven't been here in awhile, thought I'd share photos of my break. It wasn't terrible exciting for the most part, alot of hang out time and eating time with friends.. But in all a great, relaxing break. (where to next, I wonder?)



First stop, San Diego. And the zoo. :) I have to say, though the Singapore Zoo is pretty much a favourite for me, I think it's a fantastic zoo, this one was up there on the list too. It was nice. Also of note, it was a lot cooler and I guess that makes for a more pleasant day trip, since sweating profusely is not a factor. (have a hippo and a peeing panda)


Next stop, LA. Where I spent New Year's with friends. That was my after countdown "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" picture. :) Also when to a bunch of places, of note Knotts Berry Farm where a small friend and I risked our lives to generate a large dose of adrenaline.



Ok, next stop, San Francisco/East Palo Alto, where it was bumming, blackouts and buffets.

Then to Lake Tahoe for some snow. It was great. Falls and muscle aches aside, of course.

But the view from up there was amazing. Unfortunately, you can't ski/ride down. Because the only route down is a double black diamond. :) Oh well, maybe when I'm 60.


Sacramento was fun too. Will miss friend who is in Sac this semester.. At least we got to hang out which was awesome. Ok. Trip concludes in Long Island, New York.
