London Attacks - John is Back!
I woke up this morning and read about the London Bomb Terrorist Attacks. What a shame. I don't really know what to say about it. Other than it really sucks.
So, for some reason, John Irish came back. Of course, he explained it to me and it makes sense, but still. ITS BOND! Oh well. The first moment he got back last nite he was talking to Jolene and they planned for him to stay somewhere else when he has spoken to them about the Big House or Peter's. He was like..."It's starting..."
Last week, Jolene asked me to work friday nite so I said sure, because I had a vacation the whole week. Then, I knew this was gonna happen, Coco called me and said the DeXing End of the term dinner was tonite. So I told her i couldn't go and she couldn't understand. I called Jolene and told her what happened. I didn't ask for work off, but Jolene told me to go to the dinner. Ok. So I called Coco back and told her I was gonna go.
I spent most of this morning putting in English subtitles on the wedding DVD. Man, this subtitle editor needs some fixing in the next update. You hear that APPLE? Its sooooo slow. I then headed over to meet up with John at Pete's around 330pm. As I got there, John was leaving to go meet Jolene. So i hung out with Peter and Nick. Then I had to head out to my De Xing dinner.
As I was leaving, John was arriving back. He looks taller now. But its because of his giant boots. I told him we would get together after dinner.
I went to dinner and it was good. I said thank yous and goodbyes to everyone and toasted them all. That big guy from the Teacher's Day and end of the Fall term dinner was there again. Coco told everyone I planned to go to the Shaolin Temple during August and he got exctied and started talking to her. Apparently he is a gong teacher somewhere. It would have been nice if he coulda told me this when I first got here. I mean, Coco told everyone I liked gong fu. But nope. Oh well. Coco acted as an interpreter and he said he taught "real" chinese gong fu. OH GOD please don't let it be Xanda. That fake "real" chinese gong fu. I made plans to meet with him on sunday at 9AM for practice. I am interesting. He basically said that he is the Gong Fu King of Xiaolan and that his partner is #1 Champion of China. Thats some impressive bullshitting. I highly doubt both of those statements. He started talking about Taiji and so I figured, hey ,I can check it out. THere is no harm in it.
After dinner, which was good, I had to go to Karaoke and sing a couple songs. I tried to sing Hey Jude and Fly Me To the Moon. Its so hard to sing karaoke withou without the real music.
Afterwards I met with Yumi and John and Jolene at Sunday bar and then Antoine showed up with two of his Frenchmen posse and we hung out.
It was late so we headed home. John went with the frenchies to a cabaret bar. He said it was lame but sort of fun.
