Nerdom (and President's Day Weekend)

I've been trying to resist the urge to post nerdy content here, but I really can't help it; deal with it. As expected, Microsoft Vista was nothing more than a lot of hype followed by confusion and disappointment. It may look pretty, but it's a lot like plastic surgery: knowing what's underneath the pretty facade detracts from its attractiveness. Was that an effective analogy?

Poking fun at MSFT. Always fun times...

A couple of guys from Andover, MA (my hometown) threw this short clip together.
Testament to the fact that there's absolutely nothing to do there.

Had a good long weekend. Spent a majority of it with JC and the Pac-Heights girls. Short recap (I'd post pictures, but I don't have any. When I get my camera back from Gangsta Hwangsta, I'll post them):

• Friday night: JC and I went to "G3" (a lame SF Korean lounge) out of sheer curiosity (never again). We left after two Crown shots, a vodka tonic and a very awkward encounter with a woman who resembled both of our aunts (45 min total). We then met Sarah, Jen, Gloria, Robin and Min at Rouge to cap off the evening. Most memorable quote from Rouge:
• [Jason measuring go-go dancer's heel with his fingers as she dances on the bar]
  Go-Go Dancer: "It's seven inches."
  Jason: "Yea? So's mine."
  
  
• Saturday: Hit up the driving range with JC, only to quickly come to the sad realization that we both suck at golf. Ate shabu, then passed out (not together; at our own respective apartments, you bastards).
  
  
• Sunday: Drove up to Napa with JC, Sarah and Jen. Drank wine and ate all day, only to come back to SF to continue our gluttony at the House of Prime Rib. Most memorable quote from Napa:
  
• Jen Tai (after tasting a St. Clement Cabernet): "This tastes like Chinese medicine!"
  
  
• Monday: Vegetated. "Time wasted is never truly wasted, if you enjoyed wasting it."

Email from Mom

Ah Duhl (son),

It is very cold day here in Boston. Mom and dad doing same thing everyday and that makes me sick and tired, but I know that's also blessing. Do you remember the church on the way of home? I saw some words at that church and impressed. "compliment from another is the gift from GOD" so,I think you have so many gifts. right? Mom always wants you be a real man which has a warm heart for someone needs you. I want you be A real man rather than a rich man.

Mom and dad saw a movie "The Queen" last saturday night. It' was boring movie. mom tried to enjoy the life as much as i can. Remember, THINK TWICE always when you need to decide.

With love,
Mom
