This post is dedicated to the awesomely cool people of the U-District.
- A few weeks back, I hitched a ride on the 48. As I stepped on, I heard someone go, "kwaaak." Just another colorful character riding the Metro - or so I thought. I turned to find a seat, and came face to face with A DUCK. ON THE BUS. Owned by a nice couple, it just sat happily in their laps. The whole family then disembarked at UWMC, apparently off to the duck's annual check-up.
- An elderly man often seen walking into various tobacco shops on the Ave has a pet SQUIRREL. The little thing dashes frantically back and forth across his shoulders, as he keeps it on a short leash:

- While jogging down the Burke-Gilman Trail (it runs RIGHT NEXT TO campus, if you didn't know), I noticed an extremely tall man coming toward me. Squinting, I realized that it was actually a man on a unicycle. A six foot tall unicycle. Not only that, but he was drinking a cup of Starbucks coffee! He's my new hero. SERIOUSLY.

- On my way back, I saw a man riding his bike while playing harmonica. With BOTH HANDS. I believe the tune was "When The Saints Go Marching In."

Note: All of these pictures are dramatizations. At least I HOPE that squirrel one isn't real.

On Wednesday the 9th, my little bro turns nineteen!

(for those of you who honestly don't know, he's the short one on the left with the longer shorts)

To celebrate this momentous occasion, you too can wish Nate a happy birthday by leaving a comment on his xanga or calling his cell phone at (425) 241-3997 !!!

Whoa.... its been like... forever since i update. Well, nothing is new really. Well i guess i survived the tsunami for those who are still wondering if i'm a live or not....And my grades aren't that hot. i still  have one more semester to redeem myself and get the score i need to go into med or dental school. and i guess i'm start to ponder and wonder what is it really that i will want to do or what i will enjoy doing. because all this i want to do for a good cause but then... will i enjoy what i will be doing? or will i not? i mean... medicine will be cool and all. i'll do it for the sake of my brother who passed away... but doing dental is doing what my brother and I dreamed of doing when we were small. opening up, our own practice and be the best dentist we can be... but he is gone now... so should i live up to our dream? i don't know... and i'm not going to worry about it. it will eventually figure itself out. miss you all americans!!! sorry i have to be an ausie for 5-6 years. ^_^

Ozoni (below) is the best food. Ever. I DARE you to prove me wrong.

Unfortunately for everyone, it is prepared only once a year.

Go see The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou. It is HILArious! Bill Murray should win an Academy Award in every single category.  And yes, that does mean he should get 'Best Short Film (Animated).'

My roommates are awesome. One hikes up his pants like STEVE URKEL and sticks skateboards to the front of his shirt, while the other builds chairs out of Legos and strings together swear words in attempts to make coherent sentences. Seriously.

THE PASSES ARE OPEN. Yesssss!!!!

I will now go pee in the backyard because our toilet is clogged and currently overflowing with not so pretty things.

ahhhh...college life at uw - earrrly mornings at odegaard, afternoons in suzzallo, jogging on the burke-gilman, consuming insanely excessive amounts of caffiene, racing scott to see who can drink 2 liters of pop the fastest, good friends, pretty girls - gotta love it.

there's a FREAKY black cat staring at me through my closet window (yes, my closet has a window). and if you've seen the grudge, you'll know why this is so scary.

edit: today, while i was volunteering at children's hospital, a little girl looked at my extra spiky hair, then pointed at my head and said, "PINEAPPLE!!"
