Sweet Escapes
Apr 28th
This is the time of the year when I track airfare prices to Asia. For flights within Asia, Ctrip.com usually has pretty good prices. I got this email from them today. I archived it so I can come back to it later, but something about the email seemed odd to me, but I couldn’t tell what it was. Then I went back to take a second look. Hmm…
Reminds me of the “Labor Promotion” that the Chinese calling card company they use at work sent to me.
Year of the Tiger
Feb 11th
Chinese New Year is coming up. For those born in the year of the Tiger (according to Wikipedia):
Tiger (Yang, 3rd Trine, Fixed Element Wood): Unpredictable, rebellious, colorful, powerful, passionate, daring, impulsive, vigorous, stimulating, sincere, affectionate, humanitarian, generous. Can be cold, restless, reckless, impatient, quick-tempered, obstinate, ruthless, selfish, aggressive, unpredictable, moody.
One of my former students, Christine, came back from working in China and she brought back a red plush tiger for me to hang in my car. So Chinese-y. Funny how she remembered that was my favorite animal. I love tigers and all, but I don’t know if I could camp out like the guy in the photo above.
Photo taken at the Millbrae Art & Wine Festival, 2009, when my friend Cindy (the one who’s currently into sewing) made me go. Told you she’s artsy-fartsy.

Jeff Dunham – Achmed the Dead Terrorist

I was watching this guy on TV several weeks ago. Pretty good ventriloquist with funny material. Personal fun fact: when I was young, I tried to pick up ventriloquism by reading books. I didn’t get very good, so instead, I learned to juggle.
