midterms are finally over for the rest of the semester. until fall comes around, i won't ever have to deal with them again. of course the disappearance of the midterm means only that finals are around the corner, a few weeks away. needless to say i'm a bit intimidated, but i guess being at cal in the first place would do that to you.

just hanging out with people is really nice, it felt like a tv show. after saturday's festivities were done and over with, i hung out with shereen and elizabeth for a bit at their place, then i hung out with sam and his apartmentmates the rest of the night. i haven't had an atmosphere so chill like that for a while, and it was really cool meeting new people again. sam has cool apartmentmates.

i saw a mighty wind at the california with sam. even though we were the only asians there (and for the most part, the only people in our age bracket), the movie was still very much enjoyable. the whole premise of folk songs and a reunion concert... christopher guest does this movie well, and it''s great. not to mention that the songs are infinitely catchy, and the lyrics are hilarious. there were a lot of high points in the movie, especially scenes with jennifer coolidge playing this extremely dense partner of a business firm and fred willard playing this ridiculously showy talent agent who likes to think highly of himself. it was great, i enjoyed it. plus, the girl who was selling tickets was dressed up exactly as one of the characters in the movie, and i think they also hired a guy with a guitar to go around so they could sing or something before and after the show. a good time was had by all.

out of sheer boredom, blind coincidence, or a mixture of both, brian and i decided to wear our 'fuck stanfurd' shirts yesterday, along with glasses, jeans, and white socks and shoes. we tried to confuse the whole house, but in the end we decided that only white people wouldn't be able to figure it out. watch out, we'll do it again sometime. (the new will smith poster on our door was part of the inspiration.) one of the better reactions was when ew went to nation's and this one guy didn't get the joke. he kept mumbling out loud, 'what's the shirts say? fuck stan...fUrd? i think they spelt it wrong. stanfurd? what is that, i don't get it.'

just waiting, really. it'll be a while.
