byebye chrissy and conehead. i lost my dinner friend for the week. i don't know why it feels like so much longer. maybe cuz i can't randomly im her during the day or make the attempt to plan dinner and actually not have one of us cancel. and it's only a week!! haha. hope you guys have fun in china!!

let me just state for the record that jenny tai ranks among the top 10 best girlfriends of all time. eating food made by the same chef that cooked for the kennedys and the president of france and for clinton while he was at the white house and a whole bunch of other famous people was pretty cool. and the food was sooo good. *insert about-to-cry-face here.* so thanks, alvin for having a great girlfriend!! =D

went to the vincent chin 20th year remembrance conference this past weekend. it went really well from a conference perspective, especially considering it was planned in 3 months. lots of big names in civil rights activism and a handful of government reps. very exciting. but i'm definitely not as into it as i was in college..but that's a blog for another day....i get to go to lorie's site this friday for work if i finish the rest of my work. so that's what i'm going to do. hehe..it's like being a kid: "if you finish all your vegetables you can have dessert."
