There’s been a dearth of personal posts on my blog lately. This is mainly because with the exception of some things that I’m not going to post here for all to read, I think that my random thoughts are probably more interesting than the random things that I do or the random things that happen to me. Maybe you disagree. Consistent focus and cogency is too much to expect from me in a blog, so deal with it. I have a hundred things bouncing around in my head at any one time, and I put some of them here so that I can remember them later. This is, first and foremost, a journal I keep for myself. I might make sure that it looks presentable to people using other browsers, but that’s really the only concession I’m willing to make to my potential audience.
Anyways, this weekend was full of crazy funess. Jasmine was in town for a since (last Wednesday to this) and we all went out for sushi at Jomma’s (the secret sushi place behind the laundromat off of California Ave). I don’t really like sushi all that much but this was the best I’ve ever had. We did have to wait a while for it though. On Saturday, I spent the day in Mountain View with my mom and grandmother who flew to California to visit me. We had lunch at a tasty Indian place and everyone liked it, including my grandmother (who is from Delaware and not used to “cuisine”). I perused the awesome used book store in Mountain View. I found the last Sandman book I needed for my collection for half-price, which was exciting. It will be nice to have some reading for my trip on Wednesday. Saturday evening Erc and I ate Indian food again at Dar Bar. Then we meet up with Kejia and her interim boyfriend at the Cantor Art center for an outdoor presentation of Hamlet. The play was pretty good, except that it was three hours long and lagged a bit in the middle. Plus Cantor is near to the hospital and helicopters keep flying low overhead, which was a constant annoyance. Afterwards, a whole bunch of us went to Half Moon Bay for a bonfire, even though it was already 12:30. We didn’t get back until 4:30am, but a good time was had by all and I’m glad we did it. Sunday my mom, grandmother, Tammy and I went out for Dim Sum. It’s not really the weekend without dim sum. I had a lazy afternoon, did a little biking, watched a little South Park with Tammy, and then Tammy, Emma and I had dinner at the Peking Duck, one of our favorite restaurants from our days as freshmen. All in all it was a very full weekend and now I’m exhausted and have a ton of work to do before Wednesday. So I best get to it.

No. I know Hamlet. And what
he said with irony I prefer to
say with conviction.
(quoting)
“What a piece of work is man!
How noble in reason! How infinite
in faculty. In form, in moving,
how express and admirable. In
action, how like an angel. In
apprehension, how like a god… “
“Q” (MARSHAL)
(upset; interrupting)
You don’t really see your species
like that?!

I see us one day becoming that,
“Q”. Is that what concerns you?
