My last three days of time back home

Yes I've had five days total back home.

Well, at least they were eventful.

Tuesday

I knew I should have written about this earlier, now I can't remember what I did Tuesday morning.

I went swimming, got a bikini tan, and became five shades darker. All in all, a success.

After swimming I went out with friends to eat crawfish - still a favorite no matter how many times I eat it!

This is what LIFE should be all about

Wednesday

Slept in, this I do remember.

(Nearly) finished Le's closet. The clouds are finally done and all that's really left is the grass and maybe details in the water. We need to finish it up soon or else I won't be able to stand looking at it without wanting to make changes!!

Oh Howl

Oh house

Explored/destroyed Le's kitchen.

Mini oranges!? Amazing

What happened after we made our LEMONADE.

The actual lemonade... (lemon, sugar, MILK, and food coloring)

Had Korean tofu after (California really is the place to get it). A, who arrived a bit late, refused to eat his shrimp.

A looking woefully at his shrimp: I just, I just can't eat these fellas.

K perks up: Oh! I'll eat them for you! Here, gimme gimme!

A looks away

K: What?

A: I .. I can't look at evil!

They were scrumptious.

A: I always write my money as time.....

Karaoke came next. The manager was nice enough to make us a CD of our singing free of charge. Did our voices move him? Or maybe he wanted to scare us into never coming to sing again. Only the CD will tell....

Walked through Baldwin with A after dark. Dark places really have a spooky feel, good thing A wasn't as scared as I was. Drove back home singing along to the chorus of Nothing Better (The Postal Service) while I Gotta Feeling (Black Eyed Peas) played in my soul.

Thursday

Last day before I leave off to another country for 2 months, haven't been away from English for that long since I went to China 7 years ago.

N, loud, opinionated individual who talks as fast as he thinks and isn't afraid to scare people off, picked me up and took me to Cupertino where we met up with JJ whose hair has gotten rather long and had lunch.

Also saw this sign - truly, I am back in California where everything is right.

85 cent froyo, golden

Met up with M, tall, freespirited, and skinnier than ever and Ly, short, cute, but full of playful energy and always ready with a biting quip. We went out for some good Chinese food - Peking duck!

Also talked about guys -

M: Well he wears panties

K&Ly: He wears WHAT??? PANTIES??

M: I mean, oops, wait what are they called?

Ly: Is that what happens afterwards, he wears your panties?

M playing along: No, that's what happens before

Ly: Oh, so that's what you call foreplay.

Then saw S and her boyfriend B right before I had to go.

Now I'm packed. My flight is 11 am tomorrow.

Goodbye California, it's been fun!

Onward, Nippon!
