that song stuck in your head

The Mrs. and I were in CVS a few weeks ago and check out the shades that I picked up. Yea, the SAME design as the pair my father-in-law got after his “Cadillac” surgery (aka cataract surgery for those who don’t read in Chinglish).  

Except mine have yellow lenses. Yellow lenses are the stupidest idea for sunglasses. They make everything brighter. I’m cruising around, and I decide I’d look pretty slick with my new sunglasses on. BOOM! It’s like someone turned on their high-beams. Ridiculous. I guess I didn’t get the memo that “HD Vision = anti-sunglasses”. 

Time to add these shades to the pile of useless things I thought was funny to buy. It will peacefully collect dust alongside my snuggie and hug-e-gram. 

Today’s agenda consisted of playing UFC Undisputed 2010 for 9 hours in my “home” uniform. Of course, I never buy games, so I’ve been playing the demo.  I am ashamed of myself.

Picture of me, surfing in Hawaii, not photoshopped in any way. 

When me and my sister were younger. We used to get piano lessons from a little, old Chinese lady. Since I was a prodigy, she couldn’t teach us both at the same time. I fondly remember throwing everything off of the couches (pillows and cushions) to play, LAVA! 

The point of the game is to get across the room without touching the floor. Of course, because I only played while my sister was getting her piano lesson, I played by myself. Sad. Awesome. 

Our piano teacher also had one of those gel, water-wheel things that you flip over. I alternated between conquering lava and flipping the water-wheel for half an hour. Amusement was simpler back then. Oh, nostalgia. 

Today, I had to evacuate my work building. Apparently, there was a chlorine leak. I knew installing a pool on the fourth floor was a bad idea. 

In other news: Wifey and I wandered into a Chinese movie store last night. Bootleg DVDs throughout and we picked up Shinjuku Incident, a Jackie Chan production. Legend has it that the movie is “too violent for China” and was never released there. Go Censorship! I can’t wait to watch it in all of its VHS-quality glory. Go China!
