Alright, this weekend was Chinese New Year. That's right. For all you viets, koreans, laos, mongols, ducks, chickens, mushrooms, and flakes... it's CHINESE NEW YEAR. Heh. I'm not really going to rub it in, I just thought I'd make it clear.
And what's the big deal with Chinese New Year anyway? This is the first year that anyone has actually gone out of their way to say Happy New Years to me. It's like... ok.. thanks? I don't remember a big deal being made out of it last year... so why this year? Was I just in some kind of coma last year that I didn't notice? Ok, if so, what about the year before? I'm understandably confused, ya know?
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate Chinese New Year very much. It's just that it's always been a family thing and not something I associated with friends and stuff... and of course, definately not expanding beyond the borders of Chinese ethnicity. Hell, i've had white people and indian people say Happy New Years to me. My bad if it's throwing me off guard.
So anyway, on with the weekend summary:
Friday: Homebound. IHOP was closed.. but I got my pancake fix at Denny's. Saw some people there. Paul still looks like Mashimaru.
Saturday: It was rainy, so most people would naturally not try to work on their cars.... but you know me. So the car is jacked up and everything looks good when I'm trying to take off the wheels. Suddenly the wheel lock key crumples and refuses to fit in the wheel locks. I had to go to Deltona Tires, my local and favorite tire place, to have the locks shot off. Of course, to top it off, it started raining even harder. Then watched a free movie (Final Destination 2) with Joe, my Hunnie Maree who flirted her way in for us, and this other girl who I know but don't really know. Then me and Joe met up with Paul Pak-maru and watched Bourne Identity. Good movie.. the director has a twisted sense of humor.
Sunday: Back to the car. Advanced Auto Parts welcomed us in at least 4 times.. .we kept running back and forth to get parts that we didn't realize we needed. The sun set before I wanted it to, and we had to stop for the day and head back to philly. The drive home back to the 4runner was so difficult--my car didn't have brakes.
So tired. My body hurts.
Happy Chinese New Years.
Ps. Give. me. money.
