tony and garry came all the way down to south san jose for dinner with me! they are so cool. we had very yummy thai food. =) and tony is too sneaky. in any case, great food and great company. i wish tony the best of luck at west point--if anyone deserves the best, it's him. it'll be very difficult to ever know as good of a person as mr. tony yang. =)

after dinner, my cousin and i went to the gym where i attempted to work out. it was pretty pathetic. i tried to do these ab exercises on an incline where you life your legs up to your chest and then straighten your legs out as you go down...except i couldn't keep my legs straight! my lower ab muscles have gone and died on me, i tell you. i can't believe they're still sore from last week.

you know what? i'm getting really attached to my lab coat at work. think i can keep it? it's just so comfy and i feel all uh...science-y. yeah. i'm a dork. shut up.

and did you know that china is short about 50 million females? i read about that today--what a fix they're in. because of the one-child law and the fact that females are less valued and bring in less money, there are a lot of selective abortions based on gender or infanticide when the child is female. due to the lack of females, there's an increase of incest these days since some males can't normally find wives =X that is so distressing.
