Weather => Chinese Wine Drinking
Here in the south bay, everyone is used to it being Sunny EVERYDAY. In the summers, this is literally the case, and all the grass dries up and turns a pale yellow/golden color. Apparently in the winter all of this grass is supposed to turn green again, which I am really looking forward to. I'm also looking forward to experiencing a warm winter for the first time in my life [I have experienced cold winters in Canada, and pathetic winters in VA]).

San Francisco on the other hand, is another story. I love the city, but DAMN it gets cold. The summers in SF are probably colder than the winters in VA... no joke.

Today I moved into my more permanent place. I went to IKEA yesterday and owned my bank account balance (I WIN!!!) I think I was too ambitious and bought stuff that will hardly fit in my room. Anyways, the new place is pretty nice, we have in-wall speakers, giant TV with universal remote, dimming lights throughout the house, etc.

I met up with pojz and her boyfriend Cory a few days ago. I've known these two people on the internet for the longest time, and it was great to see them. Every time meet up with someone I've known for a while but haven't seen, I get both a feeling of nostalgia, and also this feeling of restlessness. It's a reminder that the world is constantly changing, that everybody is changing, and that I need to keep moving with the world. There is just so much to do out there, and the next time I meet with someone I haven't seen for a while, I'd like to be satisfied with what I have done.

Anyways, I'd like to end with a comment about Chinese people. What's with the way they drink wine? All we do is spill it EVERYWHERE. Just look in the movies, they take this giant ass container of wine with a huge opening, and just turn that shit upside down. There is NO WAY this is an accurate or efficient way to drink wine. Wine spills over the face, the body, almost everywhere except into the mouth. Likewise, when pouring into bowls, wine is spilled EVERYWHERE, then the wine is splashed generally in the direction of the face with very little actually entering the mouth. My theory is that this is the reason I have low alcohol tolerance :(

Now to assemble some IKEA stuff. Till next time, cheers!
