It's Coming...

Soon.

Singles Awareness Day

...no, I am not talking about Valentine's Day. In China there is really such a holiday. Sure it isn't an official, government sanctioned one, but it is probably the best known holiday that's not a true holiday. Celebrated on 11/11 because of all those lonely numeral 1s, this year it is going to be especially significant because it's 11/11/11 which only happens once every thousand years. So, I'm trying to decide how best to celebrate? Obviously the very best way to celebrate singles awareness day would be to be as alone as possible, perhaps in a remote corner of Siberia or the Sahara desert. But since that is far from fun I'm trying to figure out the second best way to celebrate. I'm thinking I need a day long party that then gets a little crazier at 11 am and has one really action packed minute at 11:11 and one second in that minute that is really just... I don't know, something that only happens once in your life. Like jumping off a building or robbing a bank or something. So yeah...

Birthday

Being 25 today and therefore old by some standards (my standards) I will share some wisdom that I have accumulated over the last twenty five years. 1.) Crab (and all crustaceans really) are disgusting and are clearly more fit for a dissection lab than a dinner plate.

2.) Häagen Dazs is delicious and fit for eating 24/7 if you are lucky enough to have that kind of uninterrupted access to the stuff.

3.) Eating Haagen Daas and playing a good old fashioned game of Stack the Crabs™ is a great way to celebrate a birthday. :)
