  • So I've just been chilling during my Xmas break and been playing some online poker.  Entered a 200 bone tourney tonight, and it took freaking 3 hours to finish.  Finished 2nd out of 150 though.  I was getting dominated 140k chips to 40k chips going heads up, so I didn't think my chances were too great.  Not too bad though. w00t.

  • I went out to dinner with my friend Nikki tonight, since she's from the Dallas area but lives in NYC now (funny how we switched places).  I did some Xmas shopping....for myself.    But they had a sale at Club Monaco!!

    Anyhoo, we went to dinner at Grand Lux Cafe, which is owned by The Cheesecake Factory.  Everywhere I looked, white people.  To describe how ignorant people are down here, let me tell you what happened at dinner.  I ordered a salad as did my friend who is also Asian.  When the waitress came out to bring us our food, she came back and dropped me off a pair of chopsticks.  Did she assume I'd eat salad with chopsticks instead of a fork?  For some reason though, she didn't give chopsticks to my friend.  Yeah, we both looked at each other like wtf is going on here.  No one else at any of the other tables got chopsticks.  WTF man.

  • I finally got around to seeing the latest Harry Potter last weekend in Dallas.  It was pretty good, but a little short.  I can't believe it'll be how long till the next one comes out??  I had to go to the bathroom so bad, but I didn't want to leave my seat and miss anything.  By the end of the movie, I could barely stand up straight cause my bladder hurt so bad.  People in the theater kept looking at me funny.  1) I went to the movie by myself 2) I was crouching over with this painful look on my face as if someone just stuck Harry Potter's wand up my ass.  I was bored, so I decided to go sneak into another movie.  The only thing that was playing right after was Usher's "In the Mix."  Out of the 10 people there, I was the only non-black person.  Everyone looked at me funny there too wondering why I was by myself and if I was some homo or something.  Who goes to see "In the Mix" alone??  When I'm out around Dallas, all the white people look at me as if I'm so alien.  Everywhere I go it's funny looks.  Can't a guy just get a break.  Shesh haha. 

    Company holiday party tomorrow!  Gonna be interesting seeing co-workers drunk, maybe I don't want to see that. It was crazyyyyy last year.

  • WOOOHOOO!!! Snow and ice in Dallas, so they sent us home early.  Gonna chill out at the hotel and relax for a bit.  Happy day!

    Btw, if anyone knows about the winter meetings, they're across the street from my hotel in Dallas.  Gonna head over there in a bit and see if I can hear about any gossip.

  • FUCK!!! My laptop crashed last night and stayed up till 5am trying to recover data.  I think I pretty much lost everything, pics, docs, the whole nine.  Gotta go into the office and get it fixed.  UGGGG.

  • Weekend is finally here.  Thank goodness.  I ended up having
    to go into the office on Friday, so I decided to stay in Dallas this
    weekend.  It should be nice with the weather being in the 80s, so
    I'll probably do a bit of Xmas shopping and catch the latest Harry Potter.  I can't believe the
    year's almost over.  Yesterday, it seemed like it was just New
    Year's Eve. 

    Every night after I go to the gym, I go this eatery that has buy one
    get one free dinners after 9pm.  When I see them marking down
    grilled chicken or salmon, I get excited.  Man, I'm getting
    old. 

    So scientists have found that love fizzles after a year
    They found increased levels of some molecule that decreases around a
    year that's responsible for people going all mushy.  I wonder if
    this molecule is non-existent in some people.

  • Back to Dallas and work tomorrow, have to get up at 5am to catch my
    flight.  Ugg.  At least it was a nice break being at
    home.  I was thinking to myself the other day how much I really
    didn't want to go back to work.  I was bumming around the house,
    and it felt nice not having to do anything.  Funny that my gf was
    thinking the same thing about school as well. 

    Speaking of strange connections, I was talking to cvu last night and
    somehow she guessed what kind of boxers I was wearing on the first
    time.  Then, I guessed that she was wearing these grey sweatpants
    even though she usually says she wears her black sweatpants. 
    Damn, are we able to read each other that well now??  I knew we
    were hanging around each other too much.

  • I'm watching this show on MTV detailing on the gaming world. 
    They're doing this story on this all-girl gaming team and damn they're
    pretty good.  A couple of them are pretty cute looking Asians
    too.  Something about girls whooping up on video games makes me go
    wooo haha.  It's pretty interesting though how you can actually
    make a living playing games.  This one guy just won 150k at this
    tourney.  Maybe I found myself a new living. 

    Well, I finally told my parents that I was going out with someone, and
    they took it pretty well.  I wasn't gonna tell them for a bit
    because I didn't want them to think I was applying out to school out
    West because of the relationship.  They asked all the typical
    questions Asian parents would ask, and my mom was even asking to see a
    picture of her.  At least that's all over with now. 

    Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!! Gooble Gobble!!!

  • It's nice not having to work this week and just bum around at home in
    VA.  I was watching college Jeopardy and some Asian girl was
    whooping the crap out of everyone else.  She had no clue about any
    of the pop culture categories but when it came to math...man she busted
    out the skills.  Asians represent woot woot (too bad this confirms
    the stereotypes that we're nerds). 

    I was reading the news and my hometown is listed as #5 on the most dangerous US cities list.  Great.  At least I'm out in the suburbs. 

    Black Friday is approaching and my dad and I have this plan to get a
    200 bone laptop from Circuit Shitty or this 400 bone laptop from
    Walmart.  I'm just not gonna go to sleep that night and get in
    line at 4am, since doors open at 5am at CC.  Gonna pick up a few
    other things as well, but it's gonna be crazy.  One of my friends
    one year got some computer thing ripped right out of her arms from some
    big fat lady.  I bet you someone's gonna sit on me and try to
    steal my laptop away, but they're gonna have to get past my kung-fu
    grip.
