we'll meet you there
this morning the house was rustling about early.
samshrew had to get passport stuff done,
dad and bao were helping dad's friend move,
and randall and i had to go with my mom to the chinese new year celebration.
everyone else was going to meet us there later.
every year there is a big celebration/event thing at the local university.
it's sponsored by all the chinese organizations in the sacramento area.
my mom always seems to be involved in it all.
thus, we get to be involved in it all.
randall and i left first because he needed some coffee.

roger, do you copy?
this event has a main stage, a vendor area, children's games,
food, raffles, minor celebrities, and the thing my mom runs,
the chinese karaoke contest.
and there are 6 judges, i was one last year,
but this year, RANDALL got to be the token white judge.
stupid thing is i had the video camera this year,
but i didn't film any of it.
i had to tally the scores and help out as well.
while there we had a box of chinese food each, general chicken, rice, etc.

bitch out
the day didn't go as smoothly as planned.
my dad and bao were supposed to help his friend move,
then go home, get changed, pick up grandma and come to the thing.
then dad and grandma could leave early, and bao could stay with us.
but the packing didn't go so smoothly.
so they went home, bao got changed and dad dropped them off at the thing.
this meant that grandma had to stay the whole time.
which didn't make her too happy.
and so a long day and a few arguments later, samshrew drove her home.
then she came back and we all went out to a chinese dinner.
we were there for a really long time because no one wanted to come home.
