random bits and pieces

sun

My brother & mom have decided that I am unnaturally pale. I'm trying to rectify the situation. I stood out in the sun today watching a Lunar New Year festival performance. I forgot how much fun those can be to watch. Afterwards we went for oh so yummy bubble tea! (not the normal bubbles, the smaller ones of course). Then we came home and I laid on the driveway in the hopes of tanning just a little so I look closer to pale and farther from death. (i'm not big on tanning, but i have seriously gotten sickly looking.)

I'm hoping to do a few things tomorrow: meet with a professor, get my haircut, get my watch band adjusted, get lunch w/ karen & andrew, see david (i owe him money), ice skate, ... hmm sounds pretty full already. i hope i get some relaxing in...

i found out in the magazine I read on the plane, houston has the largest asian population in the U.S. outside of New York City. i had no idea that it was greater than L.A. other things i've noticed about houston: there are a plethora of all-you-can-eat buffet places, "large" people, cheap hair cut places, and a wide variety of grocery stores! oh i have to remember to go shopping tomorrow too! i should write down a schedule... otherwise i'll never finish it all :). on tuesday i'll be at rice from 1pm-9pm if anyone wants to stop by the grand hall & visit me!
