BBT / Fred is a proxy Tomlin?! / Rudeness in China / Darfur / Dragon Ball running jokes / Quizzes
Eric H. showed up on MSN just now, and suggested going for bubble tea ourselves later on: that might be doable, heh. I told him what Eric M. and Jon had said about hanging out with him, then he went off for his dinner plans. Says he'll call me after that... fine with me!
Dave has PVR at his place, helped Fred move (proxy Tomlin, indeed), totally embarrassed a salesman with the price difference between Dell and Future Shop ($170?!), and thinks he's coming down with something. Spoz had his usual assortment of weekender photos up (DJ Shadow and beer!), and Steph mused about the church league hockey season being over because of a loss. She also hopes she has earwax buildup (not going deaf!) because of what the doctor said last time she couldn't hear anything. (can't hear her co-workers unless they're standing right in front of her) I have that from time to time. :P
Vivian posted PNE coupons for her own reference, Phil posted another picture (getting away from your blog's purpose again, dude? :P) and mused about his dad / what Phil needed him to do and understand, and Jen mused about guys and driving again after at least a year. At least her mom also thinks she did okay at it... flirting on MSN and the male tendency to never call when you're supposed to are two things that I know about very well. ;)
While catching up on blogs, I remembered that Dawn comes home to Vancouver today... WHEE! It'll be good to see her, for sure! She was certainly ready to go home a couple days ago when she went into what had to be the most ghetto restaurant ever... sticky film covering everything, slippery floors, and other such atrocities made some Muslim place in Beijing look like Gotham's! She also ranted about rude people: having a four-year-old kid say "What the f*** are YOU looking at?!" on a crowded subway and having a woman ream you (and your blind uncle) for brushing past her on the sidewalk are SO not the best experiences! She did post pictures of Tibetans and scenery, so her last weeks in the Far East haven't been ALL bad. ;)
Jon says he's a tease in promising posts that never really appear on his blog, but he did detail the Dragon Ball running joke of combining weird flavors because of our experimental nature / being there so often. (good times with him, Jeremy, Eric, Nathan, and me!) Starfruit / strawberry or black plum / red bean? Bring it ON, coz straight strawberry gets boring after a while! There WAS the "combine everything that starts with the same letter" joke we had a while ago... apparently, Jon saw Horlicks on the menu. He immediately thought of "garlic," so turned to Jeremy and asked if that would be worth trying out in the future. I dunno... maybe even Mom wouldn't try it, and SHE LOVES GARLIC! (I remember the Gilroy garlic festival six years ago, haha) He also had a post letting the blog universe know about the Darfur Grouse Grind thing... that post lacked links since he was so tired, but I'll do them since I'm OCDL about that even if I am kinda tired too. ;)
Editorial on Darfur from the Washington Times
Darfur is Dying! Imagine your women getting raped as they go to get water for the family in a refugee camp... now you can play this video game depicting the fear and violence Darfurians face!

"You are a very sensual person. You like to experience all the sights, smells, tastes, and textures the world has to offer. Ordinary be damned, because you want to do it all."
I honestly don't think that would work for me, since I'm Chinese. But I guess you never know!

"You are a very sensual person. You like to experience all the sights, smells, tastes, and textures the world has to offer. Ordinary be damned, because you want to do it all."
| You Should Rule Mercury |
 Close to the sun, Mercury has very long days - and is rarely visible to the rest of the solar system. You are perfect to rule Mercury, because you live for the present - and can truly enjoy a day that goes on forever. Like Mercury, you are quick and elusive. Your wit is outstanding, and you can win any verbal sparring match. Some people see you as superficial, but in truth, you just play many roles and have many interests. A great manipulator, you usually get what you want from people. And they're happy to give it to you. |
| You Should Wear Pale Pink Lipstick |
 Sweet, sassy, and a little bit retro. Your look: Innocent Sex Kitten Your signature lip gloss flavor: Bubble Gum |
I honestly don't think that would work for me, since I'm Chinese. But I guess you never know!
