Gong Xi Fa Cai, Xian Nian Kua Le

Happy Lunar New Year!

We had our dinner of fish and noodles last night. Turns out Highland Park has a really yummy Chinese restuarant called Shanghai Park. It looked like they had Taiwanese breakfast food too - we may have found our regular Sunday brunch place.

The past couple days have been busy! Aside from the usual month-end accounting crush at work, Vic and I also participated in a two-day sword seminar last weekend. It was taught by our teacher's teacher, Scott Rodell, and concentrated on the dao (Chinese saber). It was really fun as he focused on historical usage, rather than performance moves. However, my poor untrained body was quite sore after twelve hours of practice!

Then of course, there was supercalifragilistictuesday. I'm glad McCain won so many delegates: it's nice to know there's room for moderation in the Republican party these days. And the close race between Clinton and Obama is quite exciting. It's making more people pay attention to the political process, which can only be a good thing for this country.

The CRV is now in Vic's possession as well. It turned out to be a smooth transaction, despite the lost car keys. The trade-in was fine, they didn't screw him on the additional warranty sale, and the car is working out quite well. I don't have a photo of the car itself, but this is pretty much the model he got:



And finally, we've been planning for this year's San Diego Comic-Con. Since this may be our first and last time attending, we are going all out. We've already purchased 4-Day memberships, plane tickets, and secured a hotel room for five nights. Apparently hotels are freakishly difficult to book during the Con, so even though it seems early, we're being super cautious.

And I think that about wraps it up! It's so nice to condense one's life into a few paragraphs :)
