Leaving Beijing, feeling 80, drunken hilarity, the hot Texan sun: if you don't eat, you die!

Saturday is blog catch-up day for me, even though I probably should read certain sites more than once a week. It's all good, especially if certain people don't update as manically as I do, har har. Actually, none of them do... and if their blogging is less than once a week, that's okay too. They're busy and doing stuff!

Dawn has ten days left before she leaves quirky Beijing for Hong Kong. It's time to stop being a "student" and get into "the real world" when she gets back to Vancouver. This prompted me to reflect on stuff myself... it's still in the budding stages, so maybe I'll write about it later.

Steph blew out her back, and feels like she's 80 years old. Since the timestamp on that post was last week sometime, I just hope she's recovered from that injury! Not good for playing hockey / working out!

Spoz reviewed a bunch of CDs (LCD Soundsystem, Eskimo Joe), and managed to reference Daft Punk / Coldplay / U2 / a lot more stuff. He also had a lot of weekender photos up of A Red Dawn, Truth Corroded, the Kemp Brothers (Sean!), Your Motive For, beer, Booster, and a bunch of friends. Drunken phone messages, Myspace, weird stuff, the "regulars" at certain drinking establishments... ah, the good times!

Vivian's dad gave her a free movie pass that had been lying around the kitchen table for six weeks, but it expired the next day. She planned lunch: if you don't eat, you die! (as she likes to say) After much discussion of what movies were out these days (CLICK, THE LAKE HOUSE, SUPERMAN RETURNS, etc.) and finding out that Karen didn't want to go with her, it was down to a matter of showtimes and which cinemas were closer since gas is EXPENSIVE! Finally, she and her mom ended up watching CLICK.

Phil had pictures up of chocolate-covered strawberries and a vase of flowers, and also a "brother" card and hat from the "Little Ones." Those look very nice! He also rationalized his weight gain in the hot Texan sun, and figures he should quit physical activity: he's gaining an average of ten pounds a month while he's in the Lone Star State, after all.

Now it's time to (finally) catch up on my friends page... I can just imagine what that will be like after Summer Conference, although at least RQ isn't on my friends list anymore! My sister bugged me about being anti-social last year, but the Internet / LJ *is* a social world of sorts! Hell, you gotta especially keep up with it on journal sites like LJ / GJ!
