It's been a while...
Wow... I haven't posted anything in a long time (with the exception of my Hulk tirade below). Guess I should catch people up.
During Chinese New Year, I high-tailed it out of this country for a few weeks. I hadn't been home in one year, so it was great to get back to Good Ol' Philamadelphia. I love Philly and the surrounding area... sigh.
My parents at home just jumped ahead a few decades and went from plain old broadcast television to fiber optic tv with DVR. They also invested in a 40-something in Sony HD LCD, so I a large portion of my first week on the couch.
After one week of sitting on my ass eating great food; I think I had 4 Italian Hoagies that week as well as 2 or 3 Cheesesteak (whiz wit', baby), I finally decided it was time to do something. The next week was a whirlwind of activity, and before I knew it, I was sitting back here in Yantai screaming at Chinese suppliers.
I'll make a short summary of my trip in list for (I've had complaints that my blogs can be too long):
- I went skiing at Blue Mountain
- I went to Mardi Gras with my fraternity bros!!! (another post on that later)
- I went the Phi Kappa Psi annual Cherry Alley at my alma mater, Lafayette
- Partied it up in Morristown, The Jerz
- Had a family b-day party at a local Japanese restaurant
- Bought myself the Canon SLR Digital Rebel XT with gift certificates from the fam.
- Bought myself a new iPod Shuffle (I use it constantly... battery life is amazing)
- Bought loads of clothes
To everyone I saw at home, it was great to see you guys. To my friends that I didn't get to see, or for that matter even talk to, I am sorry... after my time with my family, I didn't have much time left and I know I missed out on seeing people I really, really wanted to see. To my bros who went to Mardi Gras... you guys are awesome and crazy. Best three days I never ever with to repeat. To those who wanted to go... tough luck, Charles... it ruled. Ehh, who am I kidding... we'll probably be going again some year.
