Red, Green, and hmmm... Chocolate?
Gong Shee Fa Tzai! or in white people speak, Happy Chinese New Year! the Year of the Dog has initaited, and let's us celebrate year 4000 something. haha. ok, so i wasn't able to celebrate chinese new year as you would traditionally celebrate it, that is with your family (think thanksgiving), but i was able to celebrate it a little early with asian friends. i got into new york after a relatively quick flight (actually the 6 hour journey was bearable because i was engrossed in rereading a sappy romance novel) and finally got to alice's place. i met her basically after she got off work and we went to have dinner with some of her friends with malaysian. it was fun, then we went back to her place and screwed like bunnies.... HAHA, yeah right. heehee, no we watched tv and i annoyed her with my charm while she started the base for the "hot pot" we were going to have the next day in preparation for chinese new year. .
the next day, i spent half with alice on a quest for cheap supplies for the ensuing festivities and going to this yummy hole in the wall chinese eatery where they have those "meat buns" that are actually baked as opposed to the usual steamed ones... my favorite... yum! after that i met up with robert and we walked around soho and we just browsed and he bought some trendy shoes (the new york is starting to seep in!) and i brought him up to date with my realtively mundane life and he did the same for me. riveting fun let me mention, haha. anyways, we were planning on going to see a movie but there was nothing interesting playing at the time we wanted to see it so we just went back to alice's for a marathon of "project runway".... which i love but i think robert got tired on soon enough. actually... i think he got tired of designers pretty soon in general. oh well, i'm sorry... what can i do, it's in my blood. but hey, i put up with unending conversations about health policy and gossip about people i don't know for god knows how long! heehee.
.
then we had "hot pot" and alice again pulled out a wonderful assortment of yummy eats and such. thank you alice for being ever so gracious a host. it was mostly alice's friends from the year below us (how did she come to know so many of them???!!! but it was fun nonetheless. haha, it became a little more fun when someone brought "special" brownies... or in plain speak, brownies with the aroma of cannabis... ok, more than just the aroma. haha. fun stuff. anyways, i never actually had any before, so i chowed down some and you know...actually...from a completely culinary perspective.... the flavor is not bad note with the chocolate. seriously... it left a sort of "herbal" aftertaste but not necessarily bad... it was unmistakably pot though... but surprisingly "smooth". maybe it was just a good batch? anyways, i had a few but serious not enough to really have obvious effects... although i have to day i think when that layer of food was being digested finally, remember we had like a feast for dinner, i can't deny i was feeling a little funny. eventually as the evening wore on, i think the effects got stronger and stronger because i was getting more and more tired.
.
after dinner and some chit chat, eventually we broke into some poker and per chinese new year tradition supposedly, we gambled. it must have been the pot because usually when i am lucky in gambling, which i was somehow that night, i get overly excited... but i was VERY chill that whole evening. the effects really hit me really late in the night...or early morning what have you when i swear the world seemed to seriously be in slow motion. i remember brushing my teeth before i hit the sack and actually really feeling like i was aware of every single rotation of the automatic toothbrush of mine... like time went that slow... like somehow i felt i could count the revolutions of that toothrbush which realistically is impossible because its like 100 per second or whatever. anyways, it screwed up my perception to say the least. haha...interesting..
the next morning i realized though that i was to old to do illicit drugs anymore. i felt like crap waking up the next day. and that day was actually chinese new year and i spent it mostly on the chinatown bus...appropriately...or not. well, i guess i just have to be satisfied that now the bus stops for a restroom and food break at a chinese buffett restuarant (totally saw that coming ages ago!) and i had some relatively good chinese buffet to celebrate. i finally got back to boston, delt with the pile of mail i had, and got ready for a happy new semester.
.
which i started today. and nothing out of the ordinary happened really but i wanted to make a quick mention of the studio i got. so i am going to dubai, the hip town of the middle east no doubt and maybe even the world, at least rivaling maybe even shanghai in all its glory. overall i think it will be a good studio, albeit being somewhat reserved that it is rodolfo again, but hey... it's not like he was a "bad" professor for budapest. so we'll see how it goes. the trip is february 11th-17th so pack your bags and don't forget your sunscreen!!
