i showed up to chinese for my group oral presentation half an hour late. this exemplifies how i've been doing the entire quarter--always a huge-ass chunk of time behind where i should be. sleep is evil. i should have just stayed up all night until class, but i'm too weak! gettin' all old--need at least my three hours of sleep each night.

i feel like sticking in a picture, so here's one of the "kids' table" (you know, where they stick all the young'uns so they don't poke their eyes out with chopsticks after three hours of listening to the adults) at our chinese new year dinner:


from left: cousin tom, me, brandon-boy, cousin david, manda-panda, cousin jimmy, and cousin tim

hey, if you're around 30 years old and female or know someone like that, i can hook you up. tom's a resident at UCSF, david's ambitious and can subtly kiss ass like no other, and jimmy's fun. (tim's already taken--he'd better hurry up and get married! i want to go to another wedding.) oh, the first two are over 6 feet tall and this is not the best picture of them either. hahaha...yes, i'm pimpin' out my cousins. they're cool. i love my cousins. maybe i love you. maybe you can be my cousin!

yeah, okay, i'm running on too little sleep here. going to write about flies and p-values and confidence intervals now.
