so i figure, hmm. 2 posts in one day. first time ever. might as well make it 3 right? i just had lunch with christine, and that was fun. last time we hung out was before i left for hk. she's kind of jaded like me. or maybe everyone else is just weird.
Me: no, of course not. but they know i'm a little off.
throw in a bit of "i'd rip his nuts out" from me and "the jelly cream filling oozing out like donuts" from her, and that was our wonderful lunch time conversation. ahh...fun stuff...thanks christine
CAT LADY
so i'm not sure if i've written about cat lady before, but she's a little weird in the head. the first time i saw her was last summer when i was home in the afternoon. i saw this head bobbing up and down near my front window. i went out to look, and there's this lady walking her cat. WHO THE HECK TAKES THERE CAT OUT FOR A WALK!? anyways..i didn't need to say anything, i just stared at her with THE LOOK that i have now perfected with my students. it's an expression that i picked that says "what the hell are you doing/thinking" and "are you retarded or something" all at once. i've had to use it a lot for my students last year. but anyways, over the past year, i've seen her a few more times...always around my front porch and stuff, and i always ask her politely to leave because it makes me feel uncomfortable. i dunno.. it's not that i don't mind neighbors and stuff, i mean the kids next door play around my front yard all the time. but she's just WEIRD. i mean, WHO WALKS THEIR CAT?
so i came back today and as i'm looking for parking, i see her walking up my front lawn with her cat. in about the 20 seconds or so it took me to park and to get back to my house, she completely disappeared. i even scanned the neighborhood and i couldn't find her. so i go inside, and i start thinking "where the hell could she have gone so quickly?" and then i start thinking.. "oh shit...she wouldn't have gone to my backyard, would she?" so i went upstairs to my bedroom and looked out over my backyard, and there she is, behind one of the many trees that i've failed to chop down. i don my slippers and go outside, and i just say "excuse me", give her THE LOOK, and say, "you know, this is really kind of weird, but could you REALLY stop coming to my house? it kind of freaks me out when i look outside and see someone that i don't know looking back at me"
maybe she just doesn't know english. she just kind mumbles "i'm sorry i'm sorry". but this time her cat refused to go. normalyl i guess she just drags it (oh, btw, it's on a leash). so she tries to pick it up repeatedly, but this thing is ONE FAT CAT. garfield like. bug bigger. it's funny, cuz you know how they say that people look like their pets? i dunno who was trying to look more like who. or who was leading who. they're BOTH crazy. maybe next time i'll leave some poisoned cat food lying around....
a week already? this summer is going by sooo fast. went to a drive in concord which was cool. camping was awesome; good weather, good site, good food, excellent company. if any of you go to point reyes, i really recommend sky camp 10. it has an awesome panoramic view of the ocean (if the fog isn't in that is).
i've been playing a lot more bball and martial arts lately. even badminton. at least now i'm not HORRIBLE (my opinion at least). it's hard to pick that up and still keep my tennis game going though. i tried playing with perry last week, and i nearly snapped off my wrist. martial arts has been fun too. i've been TAing the hankido pe class, and they're picking it up pretty fast. the two girls (out of 8 total) don't kiyap at all though. james and i have been trying everything to get them to kiyap. i think it's hard cuz it's only them two, and they might feel a bit self conscious. i figure the more i make a fool of myself, the less self conscious they'll feel. but still ain't working...
man..i LOOOOOVE summer. i actually have time to do things that i want and to catch up with all my friends. i'm meeting up with christine yang today who i haven't really hung out with since before i left for hong kong (3 years ago?). amazing how ppl still put up with me for that long!
