Hello folks! For the past few months I’ve enjoyed having all of my posts on Doobybrain.com replicate themselves on my Xanga page as well. It’s been fun knowing that everything I’m writing on Doobybrain.com is being read by people who know me from back in my active Xanga days.
With that said, please note that this will be my last Xanga cross-post from Doobybrain.com. From after this post on, going to Doobybrain’s Xanga will immediately lead you to Doobybrain.com. I’ve simply found this to be a much better option than doubling up my posts.
One good thing though is that if, for some reason or another, you can’t remember “doobybrain.com”, then going to “xanga.com/doobybrain” will bring you straight there (plus, maybe it’ll be easier for people to remember that way).
Thanks to Norman for the roundabout code fix for the redirection. Whee! So long Xanga!
Just about every single night for the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going out skating or bike riding. I usually only do one of the two because I can’t do both at the same time. So on some days, I’ll ride my bike to somewhere really far — really fast — and on other days I’ll skateboard around my neighborhood. Simon sometimes comes along too. I know it’s been super cold lately, but it’s a nice way to warm up (even though I have to get cold first).
One night last week, when it was extremely cold (one of the coldest nights I think), I went skating and I didn’t wear my gloves because I had left them at my aunt’s place. Well, let’s just say that was a bad idea. My entire hand, front and back, were bright red. And they weren’t bright red from being really warm either. They were bright red and numb from being so cold. It got to the point where my hands actually started feeling “hot” again even though I knew they were freezing. I guess that’s somewhere at the beginning of what they call frost bite. Don’t worry though, my hands are just fine. And since that night, I’ve been going out with gloves. I can’t wait until it gets a bit warmer.
Anyway, I thought I’d abuse Flickr’s unlimited bandwidth…
Not that anybody cares but me, but here is the world premiere for Justin Timberlake’s What Goes Around…Comes Around music video. It’s actually not that different from the director’s cut version I posted the other day.
I am an idiot. Well, sorta. I just accidentally won a Belkin Waverest gel mouse pad on eBay for less than $10. I mean, I want the thing, but I definitely didn’t need it. This is the second time in less than a month where I accidentally won something on eBay.
Here is the first thing I accidentally won (WTH, someone should have bid after me!):
So I finished reading American Born Chinese. It was funny to me mostly because I can relate to a lot of the events that take place in the book (even though some of it was totally messed up). You can read an excerpt from the book if you want to see if you’d fit the reader profile. Anyway, I liked the book and all of the drawings inside. It was a bit of a surprise to me when I first opened the book and realized that it wasn’t really a “book” but more of a “comic” or graphic novel. I think that’s why I finished the book so quickly — because it was written and presented in the form of a comic and comics are generally less words per page. I’ll admit, I felt a bit ripped off at first but the content filled that void quite nicely. :)
