Living the Life where Money Buys Everything
As soon as I'm paid for January (finally), I find myself short on money again. My auto-insurance bill is due at the end of this month, and it's worth more than half of my paycheck. The rest of the money goes into the bottomless pit that is my credit card bill. I want to open a high-yield savings account, but I can never seem to accumulate a good amount of money for me to start.
I'm still waiting for the RSNA reimbursement, scheduled to arrive sometime next week. Yipee.
In other news, writer's strike may be ending soon. Which means that the Office and Scrubs may be soon back on the air. :)

Year of the Rat
Happy Lunar New Year, everyone :)
On another note, Mitt Romney has dropped out of the race, making McCain a clear winner of the Republican ticket.
I like McCain, I wouldn't mind him winning the presidential race. He's a straight- shooter with moderate views. Only if he were a Democrat, he would've been perfect for a candidate, at least in my opinion.
Alas, we disagree on the war, the economy, and issues on stemcell research.

Worst trade ever.
If this were 4 years ago, and I heard that the Suns are trading Shawn Marion for Shaq, I would've been like "wow that's a steal for the Suns! They are going to win the championship for sure!"
Now is not the case.
I'm not a Suns fan. I'm a Rockets fan through and through. But the basketball fan in me would not let me tolerate the worst trade by the Suns organization. As of now, the Suns are number 1 in the West Conference, still the better conference of the two. You have it going. Every single team fears your high-soring offense. You can pretty much run over any team on any given night. Now you trade away your second-best player for a center that is obviously WAY past his prime.
The league without a good Suns team is definitely missing. Phoenix, welcome to mediocrity.
Not a good day for the NBA. Unless you are a Heats fan.
On another note, Girlfriend has complained that this blog is too serious and emo, and does not reflect my funny nature. To compensate for that, here's a funny video.

Really, you are here?
Well, I suppose it's about time I migrate away from Xanga to start a new blog. Since I'm a fan of simple layouts, Blogger seems like the best choice around. So, I'm trying this new thing out.
I voted for the first time today, decided to play my part in the contested Democratic Primary. I have no idea who's going to win California, so it'll be exciting. However, the old ladies at the voting booth gave me a hard time because:
1. It's my first time voting, so really I have little clue of what I'm doing
2. I still have my Texas Driver's license and did not have proof that I live at my current address
3. I didn't bring my voter's booklet (nothing on it ever told me to bring the thing)
Despite that, I was able to cast a provisional vote, meaning that they'll check my eligibility before counting my vote. The whole punching down the marker thing was fun though.
The Superbowl this year has to be the best Superbowl I've seen in recent memory. Even the commercials are above par. I watched the game in this mindset: if the Patriots win, I witness history. If the Giants win, I witness one of the greatest upsets of all time. Truth to be told, I'm really glad the Giants won, because I'm tired of the collective fellatio Pats have received from every media outlet over the last two weeks.
USC still owes me my January's pay plus reimbursements of my November trip to Chicago. While I'm tired of USC's ineptitude at paying students on time, the more I think about it the more I get angry and frustrated. Who's gonna pay for my auto-insurance? Damn you Trojans.
Chinese new year is a couple days away, and this will be the first time I won't receive a red envelope full of money. I wish I were back in Houston with my family (for the money :) ) but alas, I'm 24 and probably too old to receive money nowadays.
On another note, if I really managed my finances well last fall, I probably would be a little better off right now. Oh well.
Happy Chinese New Year.
