Midweek Review
Lauren: I heart that you are obsessed with me. And that you have too much free time. Someday you too will go off to college and realize that 12hrs just aren't quite enough to separate you from your family. Then you can come to Hong Kong (or Australia, or Belgium) and write a blog for me to read. Cuz by then I'll be old and boring with nothing else to do. Also, can't wait to lay in the sun on a boat with you and bake this summer.
Aaron: Thanks! My fabulousness apparently knows no bounds.
So, Oscars? Big shock about Crash. Not undeserved though, its somewhat non-traditional style probably gave it the edge over its esteemed rivals. PSH? Excellent decision, Heath has got years of brilliance ahead of him still. Reese? Love her. Surprised they dissed Charlize though. Clooney? Aside from the fact that he obviously bribed a network exec to put him on the screen every 6.8 minutes... poor choice for best supporting actor. Hello? Paging Jake "unfairly passed over" Gyllenhaal! Clooney should've gotten best director. NOT! Ang Lee obviously earned it. Because Brokeback Mountain rocks. And if you don't think that Lee's hometown of HK was beyond excited then you didn't see the front page of every newspaper printed in Hong Kong. Didja. And that is all I have to say about that.
Slow Tuesday- Instead of the normal 'free vodka' shenanigans, we girls cracked open some wine and had pasta in, went out for cappuccinos and then split up. Hannah and I planned to go to C-Club for Salsa Tuesday, but by the time we got there (an absurdly early 12:05) our friends had left. So we got ambitious, bought a couple of beers and some Sour Cream and Onion Pringles and walked back to campus from LKF. And this time we didn't get lost. A-mazing.
We did stop on Haking Wong Podium for a cigarette and took some stunning pics of HK by night with Hannah's new camera (which she already has not lost) We're not crazy though, we caught a cab from campus to the dorm. I was home by 2, so some unnamed persons who refused to come out because they were 'sick' and 'had class' were totally in the wrong.
Visa- I got my visa to go to mainland China today. You weren't all on the edge of your seats about that but now you know anyway.
And for those of you not following the saga through the internet and the grapevine, we are now T-minus 26hrs until my mom and aunt Linda Bessman arrive in HK. Excitement!
We're also T-minus 19hrs until my first Cantonese test. Terror. Horror. Failure. All in upcoming episodes of the HK Adventure.
To Be Continued...
