I’m back in San Jose for a couple of weeks, and while Hanoi isn’t warm (55 F), especially when you’re riding a motorbike (instant wind chill), it’s downright cold here (40 F).
I had been planning on a lot of basketball, but now, I’m not sure when I’ll get out there. It’s gonna take everyone wanting to play basketball for me to get out there- shorts and jersey top are definitely not cutting it for this weather.
I came back Thursday night, and haven’t done much so far. Saw I am Legend on Friday, was disappointed. Will probably try to see Juno before I head back as well.
Other notes of the last couple weeks:
- This website was messed up for a week or so. I think someone was hacking the site, and then I tried to resolve security issues, and then the whole thing went ugly for a bit. Ngoc Anh put it back together, and now everything is seemingly ok.
- Flew back on China Airlines (Taiwan leg). China Airlines is pretty awesome now. Or the planes they use are awesome. I have never been a big fan of theirs, but they always had the lowest price to Vietnam, but coming back to the US, we got seats with their own TVs and movie selections. Normally, when I go on these flights, the first thing I do is look in the in-flight magazine to see what’s showing on-board, and then I notice that although the movie selection for all flights is pretty good, my flight is always ridden with crap. This is kind of what happened this time. There were movies like Bourne Ultimatum, Transformers, Ratatouille, Superbad, The Simpsons Movie, and I didn’t have any one. Then I learned that my TV set could choose movies! Food was pretty good too. Now I hope I get the same type of TV when I head back to Vietnam.
- Got to finally check out all the stuff I ordered. Everything came ok, though the Halo shirt I got (for $45!!!!) is probably too small. It fits really tight, so I think my sister will wear it (it’s a Men’s small, so it’s slightly big for her, but it seems like a smaller than normal Men’s small- I normally wear medium)
- Typing this on my new Lenovo T61p laptop, took a few days to set up.
- Saw the Dark Knight trailer, it’s awesome. Simply awesome. I’m going to go sell Batman (original with Jack Nicholson). I think the major difference in the Joker is that from the trailer, Heath Ledger’s Joker sounds crazy. Jack Nicholson did not seem that crazy or psychotic to me, but Heath Ledger has that certain thing that makes him feel insane. “I like that”
- Got Rock Band for PS2. It is fun, though I just want to get to Enter Sandman. Drums are going awhile to learn, my sister is already pretty decent at it.
Merry Christmas everyone!
