Leisurely Weekend

Okay, so finally my schedule is back to normal.....maybe a little too normal. I went to bed around 9pm for two nights in a row and got up at 7am. This is insane for those who know me. (I was talking on the phone with Chase whom I have been friends with for over ten years. He was asking how I was doing the past few weeks and I told him that I had been staying up all night reading Chinese books and sleeping all day, and this was his reply: "oh so the habit remains the same since you were 18 huh?" I thought that was a very endearing response that showed the history of our friendship over the years.....heh.)

Anyhow, people have been asking where I have been. (I only showed up for folks that had birthday celebrations the past month, and have been in hiding.) Meggie was asking, and got emails from both my bro and Peg, too. Nice to be remembered. Rob is certainly happy as well now that I am actually interacting with him while he is awake rather than sleeping in his room during the day.

So this weekend we went to the LA public library, both the downtown and Chinatown branch. (I checked out chinese books again but not reading as hardcore.) Went to coffee shops (Starbucks in Culver City and Peet's Coffee in Venice Beach.) Went to the Japanese supermarket and also a videostore named Desire to get our Asian DVDs. (Got Infernal Affairs I, Take Care of My Cat, Sound of Colors and Goodbye Dragon Inn.) Rob is about to take a ten minute nap right next to me now as I type on my brand new iBook G4. (Come to think of it; I haven't announced the great deal that I got: 860 dollars for this lovely machine! Rob used his connections to help me. Usually this would cost around 1,100 dollars. What a bargain. Could have gotten a powerbook for 1,200 instead of 1,700.....but really why would I need a powerbook? That was a tough one though.)

Okay, so this wraps up my mundane entry for the day. I am going to go read my Chinese books now.

Lots of love to those of you who are reading.....
