Labor Day Weekend

Geoff and Eric, two family friends, came to visit this weekend. It was a good ol' time hanging with the boys. They also brought along a very quiet dog whose name is still very much under contention. Wendy - I suggested Rumi in dedication to your love for the 14th century saint/poet/philosopher. I thought it would be an elegant name for a dog and it also sounded girlist enough. But I think the dog's owner was more in favor of calling it after his favorite animated dog, Gromit, the gender difference evidently a trivial detail.

Anyway, we hit up Georgetown and checked out the campus so I get to drool all over this reach school once again. In welcoming its entering freshman class for the Fall, there were cheesy slogans decking the school campus, in honor of itself and how great it is. It's like, yes, yes, we know we're the shit and you'll be lucky to attend us, you insignificant little thing you.



There was a bust of Guo Fu, or Sun Yat-sen in its international affairs building. It was rather interesting and we all took turns posing next to it. Then we found another very interesting statue, made all the more interesting with the creative poses that these guys managed to think up. Unfortunately I'm a PG-13 blog so I won't be posting THOSE pictures here tonight. =)

So what else? Oh we went to watch Little Miss Sunshine. It was hilarious!!! I never laughed so hard at a film's climatic scene. It was a moment where it was so bad you almost didn't know whether to cry or to laugh, but in the end, I thankfully chose one over the other. It was definitely a good movie though, and I'm glad I got to watch it finally. I don't really want to give it away for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. It's one of those movies that feel really real and the distance between art and life was impressively removed to the point of being non-existent. In this way, it makes you take it seriously inspite of yourself.

I finished Scrubs Season III. Eh...it's starting to wear a bit thin to me. I don't even know if I should buy the season or not. I did buy the first two and they were both good, but I don't know if I should buy a mediocre season just for having a complete collection.

Oh yeah, the dog, cute dog as it is, but barfed all over the place Sunday night. I wasn't very helpful I'm afraid, because not only am I afraid of being bitten by a dog, but I'm also not so inclined to touch dog vomit. But poor pup, I think it felt both sick and also somewhat ashamed that it made such a mess. Because afterwards, when I approached it, it looked at me with sad droopy eyes and sorta traipsed abashedly to its little cage, whimpering a bit. I know the feeling darling. Throwing up never feels very good.

Well anyway, I guess I'm sort of rambling which is always a cue to stop here and put an end to the agony. Anyway, c'est ca parce qu j'ai finis! au revoir.
