I just lost my drain of thought

Hello all! Things have been uneventful around here. It’s nice to relaxi-taxi, but I’m scared I’m going to go insane due to lack of social contact. I went snowboarding again last Friday and it was suh-weeet. The snow was all powdery and awesome, aside from the occasional rock. I don’t know why Mountain High always has rocks. The weather has been a little colder, so I guess the snow they make has been able to keep its form and not become ice. It was freezing when I went and I guess that got me a little sick. That and the diseases floating around work. Yuck. Anyway, I’m getting better at carving, but I still can’t snowboard on my toesies. On my last run, I was working on it and then panicked and while trying to turn back to my heels, I fell. Really hard. On my right cheek. It was one of those falls that just vibrates throughout your whole body and shakes your organs. I had to sit and recollect myself and allow my organs to settle back into place. Aside from that, it was a really fun because I was progressing and felt less sucko. haha. What was somewhat funny were the many ways I eventually fell from coming off the lift. I would usually make it off okay and then at a certain point, luckily not so much in people’s paths, I’d kind of just keel over. There was one time that was pretty great though, because I fell back and somehow ended up sitting on my board and arriving safely out of the way of others. I couldn’t recreate that stance though. Bummer.

I had to get home before 7 so that I could get ready for my grandmama’s birthday dinner. I think she turned 81? Lunar calendar birthdays confuse me. From my knowledge, you get three extra years added to your life. I just don’t quite know when. Dinner was delicious. The appetizer was freaking great. It was like this crab stew or something and there was a huge pot left so I kept going back for more because we are frugal people and do not like to waste great things. The rest of the dishes were pretty good, too, but that soup…yummus. My very preggers cousin did not attend because she was feeling sick, but the rest of my maternal family was there. By the way, my cousin gave birth on January 2nd, I think. She seemed kind of grumpy when I went to see the baby so I don’t know what the name is so for now I shall call it Baby Wong, because I also do not know her husband’s last name, which is pretty sad because I was a bridesmaid at their wedding. Bahaha. Baby Wong is super cute and tiny and pink. haha.

The next day, I went to watch I Am Legend and Juno, both of which were awesome. I Am Legend was nuts. Will Smith is a great actor and he can never do wrong, even when he decided to get jiggy with it. Na na na na na na na. I just think it’s funny that in practically every movie he’s in, he’s gotta show off his muscular physique. Yes, I understand he mostly does action flicks, but I don’t see Harrison Ford walking around shirtless. I haven’t seen Pursuit of Happyness yet, but I’m sure they found a way to include a scene of shirtlessness. You say no, but I think it was probably just too quick for the human eye to catch. The zombies in I Am Legend are so scary and unpredictable. If what happens in that movie happens in real life I’m going to be so scared and will probably be gobbled up right away, after I pee in my pants from being so scared, of course. They have like superhuman abilities for some reason and they shriek with their elongated mouths, which I suppose they use to eat people whole. There were several instances in that movie that made me cry and it wasn’t only because I was feeling emotional that day. Will Smith’s character’s life is so sad.

Juno was freaking great. I laughed. I cried. I was disgusted. I basically expressed all my emotions. All three of them. haha. I guess I have others, but these are the primary ones. I’m no movie critic, so anything I say will do it no justice, but I loved this movie. I love Juno the character, because she is adorable and just awesome and I totally want her burger phone. It is such a cute movie and I wish I had that kind of love story, minus the pregnancy thing. I want someone who thinks the sun shines out of my butt. haha. I just feel like I can relate to Juno a lot (once again, minus the pregnancy). I really like the soundtrack, too. I’ve been listening to it nonstop these past couple days. I don’t really know how to give a summary of the movie, so just look it up or watch the trailer or something. Two thumbs up from me, though, mang.

After that, my days were somewhat dull. I just sleep in and do nothing most of the day. Sometimes I have work, where I also do very little. I have not had much contact with people outside of work, but no one talks to me there. For New Year’s Eve, I sat at home and had some hot chocolate that I got from my SS. My stomach was sort of on fire from the lavender milktea I got earlier with Friendest so that wasn’t too fun. I just waited for midnight to come and watched performances and such on like five different channels before the countdown. I stuck to the traditional one with Dick Clark. It was quite the party. haha. The next morning, my mom woke me up so we could get Shanghainese food at this place we like to go to called Shanghai Noodle. Their dumplings are freaking delicious. I love dumplings, mang. You can ask my roommate. When my mom gave dumplings to my cousin to bring back to school for me, I was elated. And every meal that I had them, I was just so happy, every once in a while exclaiming, “Man, I love dumplings!” Dumplings are my favorite well-balanced food. After eating dumplings, in order to get all my basic food groups covered, I’d only have to walk a couple blocks over to Pinkberry and get my fro yo on.

Anyways, here’s some pics of stuff I’ve talked about previously…
