So... lesse. Relatives over. LOTS of relatives. Like five rugrats, two
grandmas, and five uncles and aunts. But there's one relative who's
pretty cool. Her name's Ching-Yah, and she's seventeen. I would probably
be even beter friends with her if she weren't living in Taiwan, a
primarily Mandarin speaker, and well, always being pressured by her
parents to speak english while she's here. I swear, I get like two
minutes into a conversation with her (she speaks mandarin, and I speak in
english, somehow we understand each other), and they but in, telling her
to speak english. And... well, I already told one of y'all what else, no
need to tell everyone (ahem, that's a sectret between you & I, Jesus...).

Went to see Les Miserables for the first time tonight. Although Phantom
of the Opera will probably be my favorite for all time, Les Mis
definitely gave it a run for it's money. I think it had more to say in
terms of political commentary and the nature of human beings than
Phantom, but I'm a sucker for love stories, and while Les Mis definitely
had a love story, the revolution plot definitely caught the main focus of
my attention. So I was feeling more "saving Private Ryan" than "The
English Patient," which is funny,s ine I haven't seen either movie.

Gonna be in Maine for the next week. Aunt is getting married (yes,
another one). But that means I miss Otakon 2K, which I entered a music
video into as well as a commercial parody. Ah well. And after that, I'll
be in Las Vegas, but I'll stop back here first, hopefully get another
email off.
