Wow! I'm back after so long... not like anyone visits anyway... sniff. Surprisingly, life has been a lot more boring than usual, so I don't really have anything to write. However, the 6th Avenue subway, which I had been lasciviously lusting after for the past 3 years, finally returns to Brooklyn! Not that I live in Bklyn, but now it's hella quicker than waiting 10 minutes just to go two stops in 4 minutes, then waiting for another train to go to my destination. Also, I have been selling stuff at Amazon Marketplace... since November. And I've opened my domain... since February. I'm pretty late in reporting these things, ne? Who will be America's Next Top Model???? Ja ne.

Xin nián kuà lè, Sun neen fai lok! Wow, year 4702 already... time flies. Maybe it should be the year of the baboon? But if it's gonna be so specific it might as well be year of the lemur, or capuchin, or orangutan. Ahehehehe... uhm ::shrugs:: anyhow, almost $200 this year, mua hahaha. It adds up over the years! I should never get married and get money every year! Bwa hahahaha!!!! Hm, I must be really drunk or something... or incredibly insane. I should hurry up and finish The Battle for New York before the library fines add up to too much. I should probably go to sleep on time instead of at 3 or 4. I'm gonna have to reorient myself anyway... vacation's over. Boohoo...
P.S. The NYPL's acronyms LEO (Library Entrance Online), CATNYP (Catalog of The New York Public Library), and PAWS (Public Access Web System)? Genius! (The well-known "library lions" are named Patience and Fortitude.)

Okay, I lied, but I wish it were true! I need some more interesting friends. On the topic of drag queens, I met my first today, on the subway, no less. Dunno if it was a transvestite... but definitely a cross-dresser. The big-bonedness and the facial stubble gave it away; also the patellas (kneecaps) were protruding in a rather un-feminine fashion. We got off at the same stop and I was surprised I was (slightly) taller than him! And he was wearing platforms!! He had very nice hair, though. I've seen some pretty hot Thai transvestites from photos my friend had took when she was in Thailand, but this person was like on the opposite side of the spectrum. Sorry, person... danhai nei jun hai ho wut dut (nay jeen hai ho chiew yeang [danshi ni zhen shi hao chou (pero usted es muy feo)])!!!

...Then got it immediately annulled. Why I am not surprised? Did some tequila and a 'Friends' episode inspire her? Well, it's all "reported," so maybe I should have some doubts about our beloved B.S.

Hee, I finally got my RK Theme Song Collection CD... Yaaarg... having to take a subway and bus to Queens just to get it... (an anime "warehouse"). The train ride was nothing, but I accidently took the bus that went in the wrong direction and rode it for almost half an hour to Jamaica rather than the 10 minutes to College Point!! Stupid!! At least I wasn't alone... but when I got on the bus that went in the right direction, I think it was the same! I thought the driver looked suspiciously familiar, and I remembered this cracked part above the exit (and my friend recognized the oil stains on the back of the bus). How embarassing...

Happy late New Year and early Three King's (and way early Chinese New Year's -- money, money, money).

Let's start with a "quote":

"I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said, 'Stop! Don't do it!' 'Why shouldn't I?' he said. I said, 'Well, there's so much to live for!' He said, 'Like what?' I said, 'Well...are you religious or atheist?' He said, 'Religious.' I said, 'Me too! Are you Christian or Buddhist?' He said, 'Christian.' I said, 'Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?' He said, 'Protestant.' I said, 'Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?' He said, 'Baptist!' I said, 'Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?' He said, 'Baptist Church of God!' I said, 'Me too! Are you original Baptist Church of God, or are you Reformed Baptist Church of God?' He said, 'Reformed Baptist Church of God!' I said, 'Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915?' He said, 'Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915!' I said, 'Die, heretic scum,' and pushed him off." - Emo Philips

[Dang... I heard this four years ago... I'm so old...]

Eeee!! I'm so glad it's finally break. I can see all the friends that I want to see in person. I actually feel happy (a rarity). Now I feel anticipation... now depression, because before I know it, vacation will be over. ::sigh:: My happiness doesn't even last 5 seconds. What's most likely coming up: Queens, a theatrical movie, some DVD movies, New Jersey, Alexander Hamilton's grave, and some general hanging out. More later? The world may never know...

I'm quite secular (yet I was more religious now than a few years ago...), but some of my most favorite songs are Christmas songs...

Merry early Christmas.

Wow, Saddam Hussein has been caught! Who's next, Slobodan Milosevic? Or perhaps... Osama bin Laden? Whoa... that last one should really be on the top of the list...

Och. Snow, snow y más snow. It just got worse as I started to type this. New York's probably the prettiest when it snows a lot, because there aren't teems of people and clots of cars in the sidewalks and streets. I'll just sit in the middle of a park (NOT Central Park) and watch the snow. El otoño es mi estación favorita, pero el invierno es segundo. No me gusta la primavera y el verano. I abhor them. It's just so... warm. Yech. I went out yesterday, but I'm staying in today, drink a lot of hot niu wei soup , and watch those DVDs I bought yesterday in the twirling snow.

"We must go forward, not backward, upward, not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!"

Oh, and I am seriously pondering about contemplating leaving... I like nutang, but I have other online things to maintain (e.g., a site, another weblog I write in with much more gusto, trying to keep my e-mails to under 100, but is still at 200+, etc.). I don't really write much here anyway, and am pretty much alone. We (I) shall see...

Really off-topic: I went into New Jersey earlier this week! Oh-ho... anyway, nothing much, just checking out Newport Centre Mall to go to a certain store so I could utilize my dumb card. I've just realized I never spent too long in Jersey. I used to go to the mall and watch movies at a ridiculously cheap price (cheap compared to New York's 10 dollars, anyway). It costs 3 dollars for a round trip (used to be two...) on the PATH train, so total, it would be about $9. Plus, the mall's huge and I could always find something, and NJ has lower tax (six, but it used to be three!). In Manhattan, it would be $13 if I went on the subway... of course, now it's 4 dollars for a round trip. Inflation is confusing. Well, then it wasn't really convenient to go anymore after 9/11... because the station was hundreds of feet below WTC, and I live fairly close to it. Anyhow, I didn't find what I wanted and went home sad and in the rain (well, misty drizzle).
