It's official, I have a girlfriend; the additional toothbrush in my bathroom is objective evidence of this. Chinese Girl shall henceforth be referred to herein as Chinese Girl Friend. I am cautiously ecstatic about this development. It's been awhile since I've had a relationship with a sane person.
I haven't mentioned this before, but CGF is a fantastic cook. I don't know how she does it, even though I watch her closely every time she treats me to a meal she prepares. I kid you not, even if I have like two eggs and a packet of ketchup in my fridge, out of this she can create several courses of mouth-watering and spicy incredibleness. Last night she made pork back ribs, a concoction of eggs and cucumber, something with shitakes and green things, and something brownish I couldn't identify but SWEET CREAMY JESUS I nearly choked in my enthusiasm to scarf it down. I can't believe I haven't gained a good 60 pounds since she started this.

For those who requested cds: I put them in the mail today. I am fully aware of your hollow feelings of false promise. Fear not, phresh grooves are rushing to you even as I type.
I still have a few left, if anyone else is interested in a copy. E-mail me your address and you'll have your very own, at least before Christmas.

My youngest sis is due with her third (and final) daughter; this will be Niece No. 8 for me, when she decides to come out. The name chosen is Brooke. Last weekend I asked her oldest daughter (Niece No. 6) if she remembered what her little sister's name was going to be. She nodded seriously and said "Bert." She's almost 3.

I'm leaving for a colleague's wedding in a few minutes. CGF can't attend, which means I'll probably stick around until I can pay my respects and ditch. Being happy for the bride and groom is all well and good, but being at a wedding by yourself is really only fun if you can feel free to flirt, and, well, I can't.
