Limits

I was walking back to my apartment the other night, maybe it was this Friday night. I was coming back from a party myself. Saw this girl getting sick on the side of a building...way too much to drink I guess. I'm glad I am passed that stage where I'm not able to control myself and realize my limits...but then again sometimes it's good to test those limits.

The comeback

One of my papers got accepted and will soon be published in an academic journal. Two more published articles and that would be it for all the material in my dissertation. After coming back from an academic conference two weeks ago, I am inspired to do academic stuff again. I almost forgot how I love doing it.

Something raw

My neighborhood Japanese restaurant is having its annual cherry blossom festival sushi buffet promo. Some of my japanese friends tell me that this is the best sushi place in town. They are charging $35 for all you can eat sushi. The picture below shows they should have charged higher.

Relent

I used to remember lent season as the hottest time of the year back home. Here in DC we are getting a cold reception. It gave me some incentive though to cut back on outdoor activities and go back to writing an academic paper. After coming from an academic conference and linking up with old buddies, I started thinking about getting published again. I havent given it up...yet.

Charleston in my mind


Charleston, South Carolina...what a beautiful city. I enjoyed my stay and will recommend this southern gem to those interested in traveling this summer. I love the mixture of college town, old buildings, and southern charm. Not to mention, the city is home to the most number of attractive women this side of the U.S.
