Updates Shmupdates


It's been awesomely uneventful over here. It's so cold that my drive for adventure is pretty low. Also, it's my first week, which is usually lazy and full of exciting stuff like eating, sleeping, reading, watching movies, drinking coffee with my Dad, and playing Scrabble with the folks (Scrabble is our bonding device).

It's pretty tense in the house. I've decided that its better to spend time with my folks one-on-one. Their frustration with each other is becoming increasingly hard to ignore. Twenty-three years...it must be hard.

Just taking it day by day, I suppose. Yesterday my Mom made some unkind comments about my weight, which hurt my feelings. But, that's old news - she has very high standards of beauty and her expectations of my physical appearance have always been a struggle between us. Overall, her good qualities outweigh her bad ones though.

But, that's all boring family stuff. China is cold, but good. It's almost back to normal after the Olympics fiasco. The beggars, "massage parlors", usual amount of cars on the roads, and DVD shops are back. Thank God - China's attempt to sweep them under the carpet was moderately successful during the Olympics, but they couldn't keep them hidden away forever.

I'm in a coffee shop called 'Sculpting in Time' with my Pops right now. I set up an account on Playlist.com for him so that he and I can share music over the internet while i'm in Hawaii. Sharing music and conversations over coffee are our favorite past-times. Speaking of which, you can check out my playlists at . Check out the "social music experiment" that is Playlist.com!
