life updates
1. Andrea and I made it safely back to Ithaca!
2. My parents have been trying to feed Andrea and I me delicious home-cooked food every five minutes. It’s OH SO VERY DELICIOUS (tonight’s dinner: king snowcrab legs, chicken wings, rice, shrimp, and grilled lamb, and sweet potato tapioca soup) but I swear to god I’m going to end up keeling over from so much food. I now Andrea knows why I’m such a picky bitch about Chinese food. My parents are fantastic cooks. :D
3. Done with my Polisci paper on western media slant on the 2008 Beijing Olympics Regarding the Chinese-Tibetan Conflict! I submitted last night at around 9 PM, thank goodness for kind professors and extensions. 5000+ words, 14+ pages, and fifty tabs opened with NYT and The Guardian editorials later…
4. So, Andrea and I were like “Black Friday Shopping! Yay” but were completely unenthused once we realized that the shopping outlet we went to was obviously catered towards middleaged middle-to-upper middle class women with far too much time on their hands. (In other words, no H&M and Forever21 or attractive and affordable clothing ANYWHERE. I remembered there was a H&M at one point…)
So we wandered into the food court and watched Merlin off my iPod Touch and we may or may not have fallen asleep in the middle of the food court. We are so classy, guys. It was a learning experience (online Black Friday shopping > battling insane crowds and the cold).
5. I’m really glad it’s now socially acceptable to blast holiday music.
6. I am so tired. I just want to crawl into bed and sleep forever. That sounds like such a good idea right now. (Note: I woke up two hours ago.)
