My ass is really sore. I played two hours of ping pong at the club meeting today, and... yeah. I got owned even worse today than usual. You know that feeling you get when people are so much better than you that you see no point in trying any more? So I gave up, bent over, and took it in the bum. Yes, they took turns.
I am such a failure at being Chinese. We're not supposed to do this when it comes to ping pong. Next time I go to China, I'm going to become Chinese. No more going to China and buying pirated crap. My objective for future visits will be to turn myself Chinese and learn ping pong. It'd be nice to learn some Chinese too, so people don't think I'm a retard when they talk to me and I can't understand a thing they're saying.
You know, I've noticed something. My friends tell me my Chinese carries an accent, while Chinese parents say the opposite. Like, Gene and Mary said that I don't speak real Mandarin, and Han Di told me that I sound like I have a Taiwanese accent (!!!!!!!wtf!!!!!!!). But a lot of parents say that my Chinese is good and that I speak very fluently. They say that based solely on my pronunciation, though. So they think I know Chinese when my vocabulary is tiny, and they talk to me using big words (are there big words in Chinese?). Then I give them a really retarded look because I'm completely lost. Did that even begin to make sense?
There is this Indian guy here that smells awful. Yet it's a very distinct form of awful. I haven't smelled anything like it before. Don't you love the human brain? You can tell that something is awful even if you never knew about it before. Interesting. I'm off topic.
I've been successfully been able to detect his presence on at least three separate occasions. On each of these occasions, I smelled the distinct odor, spun my head around a couple of times, and saw him somewhere between 5 and 15 feet away from me. I have had no false positives yet.
I was trying to write my Java program and somehow came up with this brilliant line:
radius = radius;
That means set radius equal to radius. Great work, me. And that is why I should get an A in the course. (If you're wondering, the compiler gave me a hint. It said that this line of code has no effect.)
My econ book used $500,000 of tomatoes and $500,000 of some other food in an example. Then it said that this may be "too much to swallow." Did Ronjon write this book or something? Because that was incredibly awful.

fun post. i enjoyed reading it.
but yeah, i relate to the chinese thing. i mean, i'm pretty sure your chinese is CONSIDERABLY better than mine. but anyway, i think the accent i have is taiwanese. apparently because taiwanese mandarin speakers tell me my chinese is "very good" whereas whenever i speak in front of a mainlander, they gimme a funny look... o.O
poor indian guy... : ( why's he so smelly...
