Not sure when Big Spaceship relaunched, but the new none-Flash design rocks. Dig the big headlines.

Got Mentioned
I was quoted in The GW Hatchet‘s “Schools Embrace Social Media.” Well, sort of. I don’t recall saying, “I looked at the other schools on Facebook and these sites and I was like, ‘Wow, we’ve got to be on there,'” at all. The writer has done a great job of making me sound like a foreigner. I don’t remember saying this either: “Most of us are already on these sites, so now all we have to do is spread the word. It’s efficient and probably one of the best ways to get in touch with people nowadays.”
Susan Boyle Got Talent
An effortless rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream” performed by Susan Boyle.
Racist Incident at Tufts University
The members of the Korean Students Association who were practicing their cultural dance were racially insulted by a drunk white freshman:
“This is the gayest shit I’ve ever done… Fuck you. Fuck you, I could take all of you. I’ll kill you all… Fuck you all, you fucking chinks, go back to China! Go back to your fucking country, you don’t belong in this country.”
This is saddening. We still have a long way to go.
AU Redesigned
American University redesigned by HUGE.
The Baby
Our friends’ daughter who was expected to come out a day before our boy had made her way out yesterday. She is healthy and very cute. Now I am getting quite anxious about our boy. He could pop out any minute. We think we’re prepared.
Sunday Recap
Woke up early this morning and replaced the kitchen faucet. What a pain trying to unscrew the hoses in such a tiny area. Went to Eden for lunch and checked around jewelry stores for platinum wedding rings. The price varied from $48 a gram to $95 a gram. Why is there a significant difference in the price? Does platinum come with different qualities? Please advise.
Ran back and fort between Home Depot and Lowe’s for a lawn mower. Finally decided on Troy-Bilt, which powered by Honda engine. Also bought a trimmer as well. Mowed the grass at the new place for the first time. Invited sister-in-law and her husband over for bun oc. Had some raspberry cheesecake afterward. Enjoying a smoothie now while typing. Damn, the weekend is coming to an end. Life is exciting, isn’t it?
Relaxed Saturday
Woke up at eight this morning and the rain was pouring. Stayed in bed and closed eyes for a little bit longer. Got up and cleaned the drains in the bathroom sinks. So much hair stuck in there, yuckie. At noon, a cousin and his wife dropped by to check out the house. Went to have some pho after they left and went to pick up Street Fighter 4 for sister-in-law’s husband birthday. Stopped by Marlo to check out the sales. Ended up with a dinning table with six leather chairs and a sectional sofa. Went over to sister-in-law’s place for dinner. Enjoyed some Street Fighter action. Went home took a shower and loved the laundry shooter. It’s the best feature of the entire house. Sitting here listening to Dexter Gordon’s Ballads while typing up this post. Damn, a day off drifted by so fast.
