bird flies into a trap
this morning my mom hurried us off to temple.
not really knowing what to expect, randall declined the offer and went home.
temple with my mom is actually a nice thing.
you come, you take some incense, you say your prayers-what-have-yous,
you bless/offer the fruit and flowers you bring,
if you have a question you ask it, or you just sit down.
and they bring you some sort of treat, today it was sweet green bean soup.
which is not the green beans you think of when you say "green beans,"
nor is it the soup you think of when you say "soup."
today i didn't have any questions to ask, but samshrew did.
she's thinking of going to china, but she might not now.
her answer to whether she should go was "bird flies into trap."
i think i'd have second thoughts as well.

orbitz
they help you find cheap tickets, but you bettter want those dates,
else it'll cost you 100 smackaroos to change the flight that only cost
you 148.

let the games begin
it's no secret that my mom and grandma don't exactly get along.
they don't exactly see eye to eye on well, anything.
but today was the last straw.
it's a really interesting, but long story, and it makes both parties look bad.
to sum it up, i'll just say,
my grandma thinks my mom is wrong in a lot of ways,
and my mom thinks my grandma has overused her guest privledges.
and so the battle ended with my dad going downstairs to mediate,
and bao and i sitting at the steps eating the rest of the valentine's candy.
we decided we either have that comfort food eating disorder,
or we thought we were at the movies and eating candy came natural.
we're not sure which it was.

flight change
this morning samshrew also left (she missed the excitement),
and my mom wasn't eating with us,
so we didn't have to prepare a lot of food.
so my dad made what he calls "goulash".
but it's not like traditional "goulash" at all (not even a little bit).
it's macaroni noodles, fried ground beef, whole tomatoes and tomato paste.
and it's easy to prepare, almost everyone likes it,
and you can eat it while you call orbitz.com and change your flight details.
