Fun with Asians

In my boredom I caught up on Kevin's blog today. He doesn't blog much. Or ever.

But I'm totally amazed that he went to China on a whim without speaking the language or having ever been there before and two years later he's basically found his calling getting his teach on and seems to be really enjoying it.

These pictures are so cute:

Action shot...



Judging a writing competition...



Taking a Kung Fu lesson...



Teaching German exchange students about tea...



And with his two best students...



There's nothing I love more than white people that love Asian people.

Except maybe white people that love meatballs.

Or just meatballs.

Still broken, so broken.

Went to my new orthopedic surgeon yesterday.

Did some x-rays.

THEY LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME.

MY BONES HAVE NOT HEALED.



Doctor says that it may be because the break is so jagged and unusual.

So I still cannot put weight on my foot and am confined at least another month of more nothingness.

So frustrating.

The doc is going to talk to my other docs and they are going to look into using an ultrasound bone growth stimulator (sounds sexy I know) to try to make things heal faster (or heal, period.).

I'm fine. Just bored. And frustrated.

Please don't feel bad for me. Just be happy for yourselves. Be grateful for your mobility (except you, KG).

Go outside. Frollick. Do a jig. Send me money.

Me friends ist so smahts

TEE AND ALE GOT INTO HBS!!!!!

They'z comin' backs to aMErrrrrica!



(oh but apparently teebags is still waiting to hear from Stanford and then will decide. hmmph. must be nice...)

Inauguration!

Thanks to TiVo I was able catch all the good stuff and skip all the slow stuff.

Loved the beginning when Michelle pwned Laura Bush with an awkward handshake/hug.

Also there was something hilarious about Cheney being wheeled out of office in a wheelchair.



The Obama daughters looked adorable in J.Crew...



As did Ma'am Oprah...



And Aretha was rocking a huge freakin' bow.



And though I didn't think the President's speech was particularly incredible or memorable (compared to his victory speech), his simple presence there was awe-inspiring.

He just seems to bring a whole new energy and aura of confidence and COMPETENCE.

Gosh. There were so many people!







Would have loved to have been there.

I bet it would have been even more amazing than Election Night.

I know it's probbbbbably unlikely, since he has a 7am staff meeting and all, but I hope the Prez gets a break from all the handshaking and general madness and is able to actually enjoy himself and get a little bit wastedface.

Imran just dropped off a giftbag full of ten pounds of curry and assorted Sasian goodies that his mom cooked up for me.

Moms are so amazing.

Imran is so amazing.



Mmmmmphhmmhmpppphhhh

Quiet! I'm eating.

(Or "eatting." As some people spell it.)

Why hello there...

In case you're worried, I am actually alive.

Just been vegging out hardcore with nothing interesting to report.

I'm seeing the doc on Tuesday at which point maybe he'll give me permission to put weight on my foot.

In the meantime, I've been watching:

Lost: Season 4
Dog Whisperer
Confessions of a Teen Idol
The City
Bromance
Real World: Brooklyn
The Bachelor
Oprah
The new season of 24 (totally epic)
Every single news report about geese flying into jet engines
Lars and the Real Girl
Steel Magnolias
Dan in Real Life
The Blue Lagoon
MacGuyver
American Idol
Good Will Hunting
Golden Globes

I think that's all.

I hope that's all.

Oh, speaking of the Golden Globes, Tina Fey's victory speech was hilarious:



Happy almost inauguration!

Why don't deserving people break their ankles?

VCB/Slumdog Milllllllionairrrre!!!!!!!!!

Slumdog Millionaire and Vicky Cristina Barcelona, my two favorite movies of the year, won the two Best Picture Golden Globes (Best Comedy and Best Drama) the other night.

Did you see them yet?

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR

Belated New Year's 2009

Several years back we threw an amazing toga party where we bought 95 bottles of cheapo champagne, one for each person.




Andre is delicious...but totally deadly.

That night I was out by 10pm, but not before having vomited on several people.

To this day it remains one of the best->worst nights ever.



..........................

So.......for my first night back after a two-month alcohol detox, I thought it would be appropriate to stock up on Andre and invite some friends over to ring in the New Year belated-ly.



There was still plenty of holiday spirit left over.





Kate brought the most epic gift ever...



(An Obama commemorative plate with Mr. President-elect sporting some major gayface.)



And I spent most of the party gimpy-ly rolling around in my computer chair trying to interact with all these people who now tower above me.



It's really quite a difference from my normal aerial view.




We had the Anderson Cooper New Year's Special playing in the background...



...And at midnight we did a big countdown to January 10th.




HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!





It's so good to be home.
