What’s been happening

Hi everybody. A couple of weeks ago I was busier than usual. My brother Shane, and my cousin John came to visit me in Houston for two weeks and left just after the 4th. So I was cooking supper nearly every day and coming home to fix lunch for all of us. We usually put in a DVD while we were eating. And when we weren’t eating we were playing computer games. Freelancer and C&C Generals: Zero Hour mostly. While I was gone during the day they slept and/or played xBox I think. We had so many snack foods, but who could pass up the 10 for $10 snacks at the grocery store with 2 extra guys in the house.

I was planning to do more things with my website. But hadn’t got the chance to since then. I have a working captcha image that I hope to put on my live blog soon. I just have to figure out a good way to pass the information around. I’m thinking about a random key of some sort. So I have to figure that out first.

At work I recently found out the guy who was my mentor is moving, and it’s likely I’ll be taking on most of his responsibilities. I don’t know if I’m ready for that yet, but I’ll found out soon enough.

I’m starting to get all of my clothes packed for my trip in 50 days. I’ll be going back to Taiwan during labor day. That way I can use my 4 vacation days that week and have the weekend on both sides. The reason I’m packing now is I’m going to mail it over there. So that all I will need is a carry-on. Shao-ling is already planning out what we will be doing in Taiwan. All of us will go to Kenting (south Taiwan) the weekend I’m going home. We’ll take the “fast train” there, and spend one night at a hotel. I hope my Chinese is better than last time. There are at least a couple more phrases I want to learn first.

All right I think I should go exercise now, another goal is to lose at least 20 pounds before I go over there. Being lazy makes it hard to do that. See you later.
