happy chinese new year! did anybody get any red envelopes? :)
so what's up? i know i'm updating late, but i haven't been motivated to write since yesterday afternoon, hence my short entry from tuesday. nothing much going on, you know.
this season's _american idol_ isn't as interesting as last year. i guess it's because there's no john stevens for me to root for. there is, however, another crooner guy, and i hope he makes it through to the finals. i don't know why i like crooners, but i guess it stems from my love of oldies music.
i met up with alan and ting yesterday for dinner. the venue? carl's jr. ick. i usually hate to go there, and the place sounds good only if i'm horribly famished. however, i got this chili cheeseburger, and it was actually decent, despite being a little cold. that's my main beef with this place... they serve cold food.
anyways, after dinner, they came over and cleaned out their bedroom. so now i'm all set to show it to prospective roommates. i think i'll post something on the stanford incircle website first, and then i'll move on to craigslist later if i don't get any good bites.
i'm just worried about having a random roommate. like, whether they'll have lots of strangers over, whether they'll accidentally leave the stove on and burn down the place, or if they get all "single white female" on me (um, the male version) and start fucking with my life, you know?
this weekend, i have an on ensemble concert to go to. that means: taiko alum reunion! hehe. i'll be picking gina up from the city beforehand, and hopefully i'll get to meet up with emi and company (dishi and barden) for lunch. it'll be good to see them. if you haven't seen good taiko, check out the show. it's at 2:30 at dinkelspiel auditorium at stanford.
i need to do my taxes. i think i have all my W-2's and 1099-INT's and what not; i just need to find and hour or two to sit down with the stuff and complete the forms. i've been doing my taxes online, so it's relatively painless, and if i recall, it's entirely paper-free!
i've been going crazy with the vitasoy lately. yesterday, i had FIVE of them. but i have this notion that soymilk is good for me, i.e. protein and all that. but there is a lot of sugar i'm ingesting, too, so maybe i should take it easy on the vitasoy.
anyways, i plan to have showered and be in bed by 8:00 tonight. i've started to watch tv in bed lately. even though it sort of hurts my neck, it's kind of relaxing to be lying down when the tv's on. on tap for tonight? _american idol_ and _alias_. yup. go go television!
