almost a month has passed here...
now i know what it takes to become a new yorker:
- getting up twice a week to move your car to other side of the street
- becoming a notorious jaywalker
- sitting next to a chatterbox bum with nasty foul odor hovering around in a subway
- become a furniture scavenger along sidewalks for our apartment
- legs and butt start to be more firm than ever
- being disadvantaged when guests throw you numerous of requests to sleep over in our place
- gawk at a parked hummer 2 suv, figuring why this hummer exists in manhattan
-sleepless during the nights
well, i'm off to take a power nap now...
Trouble strikes in series of threes, but when working around the house the
next job after a series of three is not the fourth job -- it's the start of
a brand new series of three.

seems like this site has finally been updated...
mr. v's flick... still a classic one!
we just cleaned our dusty, dirty window and here's what we get:
a dead bird...
ok... here's the thing:
a family friend whom i've known since my birth is visiting here in nyc for a friend's wedding. earlier a few days ago, i was just asking him if he was attending this particular couple's wedding, and he was like somewhat astonished to know their couples' names. i had known that my roommate's sister was getting married this weekend, and i thought that now that her residence is in california and with my family flying from there, i thought it wouldn't hurt the chance of asking my friend if he was going to their wedding! so it turns out that his girlfriend works together with my roommate's sister and my friend is playing on the same softball as my roommate's sister! i hope you're following what i just said! i find this a rare small world because in a deaf community, small world thing is so common. but my family friend and my roommate's sister are hearing. anyway, so i took my friend and his gf out to chinatown and little italy. we had a nice lunch at lombardi's pizza, one of the first pizza's restaurants in nyc (i believe it was established in the late 1800s). they haven't gone to nyc before so it was kinda fun to see their bewildered faces esp. in east village where my friend took many pictures of some wacky places and people. yeah, i kinda felt little embarrassed to hang out with an obvious tourist.
holy crap... i shit in my pants!
i guess peepos back in 1970s were more unscrupulous than right now...
oh... i wanna get this for my new roommate!

why is that i'm procastinating and wasting my time on just TWO sites: http://www.newstoday.com and
http://www.boldering.com
when the top priority here is to revamp my site and find a job?
my head must have gone wacko lately, but i think i'll be dead if it wasn't for the unemployment insurance.
now, the html is enabled in comments area! you fackin' happy now? gimme some porn URLs wud ya?
seems like my old h.s. classmate, gary johnson, is now back to minor leagues... i guess erstad has returned from 15-day disabled list. but i'm looking at johnson's stats and it's pretty good. also i heard that he had doubled at the FIRST pitch he saw in the big league. so i gotta give him a big hand for it though it'd be COOL if it was a HR.
well, i'm off to bed now! almost 3 am here! ack!

still can't resist these irresistible, adorable animals...
i ought to get one of those undies for my girl...
it'd be like watching a kid running around in a cartoonish undie...
sometimes it sucks to be deaf...
i just picked up my jeep from the shop for a service check up. it turns out that my jeep's axles are way fucked up... they said that you could even hear them well while turning the axles. i guess towing my heavy stuff from chicago has caused a big toll on my jeep. luckily some of the repairs are covered by the warranty, still, got a huge bill to pay... ugh...
on the bright side, my roomie and i are almost done in painting our pad converting from plainfully monotone white to radiantly MTV style wild colors - "jack o' lantern" orange, "hot pepper" green, and "whistling dixie" purple. i'll post some pictures of our pad once we're done with painting!
for the past few days, i've walked around here in upper east side and these people (and animals) are ALL over the sidewalks. there are like maybe 5 nannies/mommies with babies on each block enjoying the walk. there are also canines and their walkers everywhere, too. i guess i'll have to stay sober as much as i can to avoid the turds on my shoes for a year. oh yeah, today, i saw a boxed set of full mattress, but sadly, it was covered with nasty stains, so i'll have to pass on this one and look for a boxed mattress for my top mattress. also there were a few ditched A/Cs along the 79th street.
anyway, my jeep's in the shop and it's in condition as her legs are filled with debris as well as bleeding. i'm hoping that my insurance (actually warranty) will fully cover the auto-medical costs. i guess she's all worn out from towing a heavy trailer from chicago to here.
oh yeah, just a word of advice: if you live in manhattan and live close to costco, try to go to costco and get some bulk. a drugstore here in manhattan for a 8-irish spring aloe soap sells for 5 bucks while in costco, a 16-piece will get you 5.98. what a such hefty life we live in manhattan! i think i'm going broke swiftly like a lighted matchstick burns my cash flow.
hurry, get a job OPEN for me! (to be honest with you, i haven't even started searching for one)
that's the name of first bar that my roommate, dave and i officially entered earlier tonight in manhattan. the bar's nice and our friendly bartender, charlene, was superb nice to us that she gave us a pair of "bee sting" (that is guinness and cider to you) in welcoming us to UES on the third round just because she wanted us to be more blissfully tipsy. right now i'm sitting on a stair near our neighbors' place, taking advantage of their DSL line. I recently bought a wireless access point for them to use so we could use our laptop from our apartment, but it turns out that it didn't work, so i have about 15 days left to return this product back to the store. our neighbors absolutely love the access point already. it'd be fun to see their smile go upside down once i return the access point back. it seems like dave and i will have to rely on the t-mobile hotspot for a year or so.
anyway, yesterday, someone left a full size mattress outside of my building, so i just took it upstairs to my apartment. free stainless bed for me. what's next... a free microwave! i still haven't started searching for a job yet. i feel so chaotic with my apartment... guess i just need to settle down with it first before i can go madly job searching!
it seems like i won't be the first chinese to get a mullethead.
check this out:
i really found this article to be frackin' hysterical!!!!!
well, i guess i'll have to find a new hairdo... but for once, i'll take pix of myself in mullet style once i ask my friend to cut the top first and let my end hang out for just a day! any suggestion for my next hair project? spiked hair? baldy? mm...
it kinda was nice to see the president having a rush of adrenaline in his body once in a while. while i don't admire his decision to put his country in a war with iraq, though i do give him a thumb up for his guts to put politics aside and do something FUN. if i was a president, i'd try to pull a few extreme adventures in my sleeve to encourage the americans to fulfill their lives to the fullest!
anyway, here are some pictures of my new 'fackable' apartment. we came up with this name because of our apt nbr - 2F thus "two fackable roommates". there are only two apartments on each floor in the building, so the front one gets the "F" while the back gets the "R." we're glad to get the "F' because we don't want to labeled as the "rear" guys 8-)
a view of our living room directly from the front door(it's big enough for me to put a climbing wall there!
our kitchen (notice the bright lights??? perfect for us the deafies to hang out!)
our bedroom
our hallway to the bathroom (we got a nice big closet on the right side - i think that would be our part time roommate's room!)
