[long time no write] just to preface the rest of my entries -- i just wanted to say that the last 5 days have felt like an eternity. do busy days make time fly by quicker? or does it make time feel longer?

[thick &juicy] no silly =) not steak! but The Roots concert! =) never have i been to a concert that felt so *real* before (though standing in the first row with my arms on the speaker cables probably helped). these musicians are amazing and every song that they hip--hopped to were full of layers. the bassist was incredibly talented, and haha, the drummer.. and the guitarist and the rapper and the.. and the.. and you get the picture =) the music was just so thick you could.. feel it in the air. grab it. rarrr. keekee. it was amazing. i've said this before, and i'll say it again... nothing beats live music =) *ah*

on another note though, the Fillmore is super!! *bounce bounce bounce* airy, baroque-looking with chandeliers, and pleasantly lit, me wants to go to more concerts there =D a lovely way to top off the weekend indeed.

[what di learnt in her NBA class this week] i'm definitely liking this class more and more.. guess what we did for half of the class today? we watched the NBA all-stars game! haha =) something i missed too, and i was more than happy to watch snippets of it. we also had a really interesting debate in class about individualism. do you think the NBA is all about individuals? when do you think the NBA became so individualistic? i mean, when you think NBA nowadays, more people think players than they do teams. the rael debate today though seemed to circle around MJ and whether or not his success can be attributed to him alone or him and the support of players he's had over the years. waht do you think oh-male-ones? teehee.

so anyways, as a recap:
- did you know that cheryl miller is reggie miller's sister? (thanks again steve!) and apparently, she's a better baller than him! oh, she's a reporter for TNT Sports btw =D
- i learned what the five positions in the team are -- though i've never really heard of a small forward before? do you really need one?
- that a center player doesn't really hafta know how to do jack. hahaha =) (i still think you're cool yao ming)
- that shawn marion is a point guard (haha, thanks again steve)
- what "post-out" means. uh....
- what a board is. and in the bball sense of course. =D

yeah yeah, i'm a lame wannabe basketball fan =( but i still thoroughly enjoy watching basketball games live even if i don't know what all the technicalities behind the game are =) at least i know the rules? hiak hiak =P

[yay to long hair] okay so i have been discovering the last few days that the small pleasure of being female and having long hair is brushing it out at the end of a long, hard day right before you go to sleep. now i'm not trying to be gender-biased by any means, but come on, how many guys will decently long hair do you know (and in berkeley?! uh... ) and of those guys who have decently long hair, how many of them actually *brush* their hair? anyhoo, my point -- *ah*

[small thanks] to those of you who said hallo in my new message board. no thanks to any of you though, i've decided to employ buzz lightyear in my quest for never-ending clean teeth =D
