So let's see what Angie's been up to lately. :)

Christmas Eve: went to the doctor's, viral count from November negative- woohoo!, feeling much better fatigue-wise, just dealing with daily headaches now, possibly being prescribed narcotics but trying to avoid that, baked rum cake, prepared tiramisu, had some family friends over for dinner, some people never change...

Christmas Day: woke up early to open presents, got my Brookstone tempur-pedic swedish foam pillow that I've been asking for for years, helped Joshua move all sets of car keys from location to location, made mashed potatoes, creamed corn, and rib roast rub, watched our Bowl game, read up on UNM's freshman fake-ID debaucle (if you're going to color xerox fake IDs at Kinkos, the least you could do is NOT LEAVE YOUR TRASH), fell asleep during the third quarter (when the Bruins actually scored their touchdowns), had dinner with extended family, saw "catch me if you can" (excellent story, love Tom Hanks, could've been executed better though, overall thumbs up)

Day after Christmas: rolled out of bed around 11, read the LA Times cover to cover, ate salad for lunch, gave Vinita a quick guitar lesson, watched part of "Center Stage" (with someone who can actually appreciate the accuracy of portraying dancers), went to South Coast Plaza w/ DPe and Shiv, ate at the Rain Forest Cafe (overrated food, good-looking customers), watched ER, watched Friends, watched Edward Norton on the Tonight Show (love him as an actor, not impressed with him on TV, even though he owns an iPod), watched Roberto Benigni on Conan (Conan wears boxer-briefs)

Day after the Day after Christmas: rolled out of bed at 11:30, had a leftover Christmas ham sandwich for lunch, went to the LACMA w/ Vinita, perused the Donald Blumberg exhibit again (I'm newly inspired to create photo collages), walked around the Grove, ate at Corner Bakery (thumbs up), went to The Lounge (Asian night- thumbs down)...

Actually, I'm going to pause for an "Asian Night" commentary:
What the hell is all of this Asian business about? I went with Mell, Jess, and Wendy. I think Wendy had a pretty good time, but Mell and Jess were as bored as I was. I can't put my finger on it though. I have never had a "bad time" going out before--it doesn't matter all that much who I'm with or what I'm wearing, I usually have a good time regardless. The night was SO LAME though. I blame it on the music--very boring, monotonous, choppy, boring, non-dynamic, boring. I guess I blame it on the crowd, though it's not like I was out there to meet people so I don't know what it is about Asian people that bother me so much. I suppose it's the air of image-oriented-ness/I'm hard... but I don't know. Mell's comment of the evening semi summed it up for me. As we were walking out of the restroom, some girl was walking in so she semi-slammed the door into me. She apologized right away, and I said "oh, it's ok" and Mell scorned me for saying "that's ok" instead of giving her the "whatever, bitch" glare... is that everyone else's mentality too? I still firmly hold onto my belief that "typicals" are the most insecure people on this earth, with the males being much more insecure than the females. Whatever. Perhaps I'll have something more profound to say on this topic later... for now I choose to avoid such settings.

Today: Went to the bball game with Matt, had a really good time, even though we lost, newfound love for Jon Crispin even though he scored less than a handful of points today, he just needs more playing time-- did you hear that Lavin??, went online to order my Lose Lavin t-shirt but found out they don't have smaller sizes, had my car searched while trying to watch a movie (Chicago but it sold out just before we got to the front of the line)

I love break.
