Mozzarella sticks are delicious
My first cousin once removed got married over the weekend. And that's as far as I understand in terms of English kinship terminology... maybe because I'm unaccustomed to it, but it's too confusing. Like... my mom's first cousin's kid is my second cousin... I think. Okay, my head hurts. I'm just going to keep calling my newly-married first cousin once removed biu gu, as I always have.
The food was okay. I can never understand how abalone is such a delicacy. The wedding cake was too sweet and uninspired. I swear I'm not a foodie! But I've tried regular cake and pie that is more delicious. At our table, we emptied nearly every dish, but around us, lots of plates were still full and they asked for the waiters to bag them up. Methinks they deliberately did it to get free food.
Now I have even more white relatives by marriage. (Though more distant this time around.)
And the bubonic plague is in Denver o_o

Year of the Oooooooooooooox
Moooooooooooo. I know that's a cow and it's the year of the ox, but whatever.
I made the "fook" (or "fu") by cutting out the character from one of those free calendars they give out at the end of 2008 if you buy above a certain amount in the store, pasted it on a piece of heavy red paper, and voila! A unique, non-garish item that cost nearly nothing. Example of garish CNY items I don't like: signs that are 3-D, glittery, with weird, fat chibi-like human or anthropomorphic animals all at the same time. Like, cutesy, but not to me. It's kind of hard to know what I'm talking about if you never saw one, but oh, I really don't like them. I wish that I had remembered my camera so I could take a picture of some examples.
