quotes from my roommate

"...the house is a trash mess."

Me complaining about not being able to make PB&J because we have to bread.
"Try making it on a rice cake."

More J quotes to come.

sushi

I love sushi. Sushi for breakfast, sushi for lunch, sushi for dinner. Every way, every day. Nothing, in my mind, makes a better meal than sushi. Meal, snack, dietary staple, cleaning product, new best friend --hell, I'm not sure what you couldn't do with sushi.



However, until I've got $ in the bank, no sushi for me.

[Note to self: check this place out, when you are not broke as a joke]

and so it begins

After a 6 month absence, I have once again returned to Boston. Interestingly, I find that I love it a little more than usual. Blue skies? Brick buildings? Lack of trash in the streets? Traffic laws? It's beautiful.

View of the Citgo sign from my roofdeck:


Kenmore Square... (wtf. When did this happen?)


And, of course, Fenway.


I have been embarrassing my friends going around taking pictures like a tourist, routinely asking the price of a beer (not 50 cents? damn, I miss China), and exclaiming "Boston is so beautiful!" I'm like those tourists everyone loves to hate. It's great.

unexpected

What is better than buying a new pair of jeans? An old pair of jeans (that used to fit your 16 year-old self before you, for example, gained the ibanking 15).

In the process of cleaning out my closet and preparing to move back up to Boston, I discovered 4 pairs of these bad boys. It is like today is Christmas. And my birthday. All in one.

jet lag

Jet lag is still kicking my ass on a daily basis. Since I have to try and stay up for at least another hour...

Pictures from my travels.


Boarder crossing (by boat) into Myanmar (Burma).


Wish you were here... Ko Tao, Thailand


General Motors factory, Shanghai, China


Jing'An Temple, Shanghai, China

I've got to look through the rest, and possibly post them on Facebook some time before... well, we'll see when they get posted.

still home...

It feels like I've been home for at least a week. I should be spending this time watching movies or swimming in the lake, but my room looks like a bomb (or my suitcase?) exploded and the lake is still pretty cold. Now that everyone is 21, my friends and I are going out later. I'm not sure what "going out" in upstate New York involves, but I guess I am about to find out.

[aHAHAHAHAHA. yeah. I just remember S's fat stuffed Totoro. May have to watch that later.]

home

Posting a blog entry at 3:34 am? Jet lag, you're one tricky fool. Playing the Sims 3, eating hummus, and doing whatever I can to stay awake so I can fall back asleep. Maybe I'll start teaching myself French... (because Chinese isn't enough?)

Boston in a few...
