Many Things; Few Significant

NO SATC SPOILERS. SWEAR.
Oh you guys,
The man and his wife who own the English theatre were so cute last night. They made us all wait outside, then they collected tickets one at a time (they never do that normally) and PASSED OUT GLASSES OF SEKT as we walked in. How cute is that? So the whole audience of us (about 45 people?) got these little glasses of bubbly before the German ice cream commercials came on and then the man asked us all to raise our glasses as he took a bunch of pictures of the crowd cheers-ing before the film began! I just thought it was a really sweet little European touch. My only regret? I didn't bring a camera!

So...if you're getting gussied up for the flick, take pics!


KES LIFE SPOILERS START HERE:

Yes, I'm moving to Shanghai. My life in one of the biggest cities in China will commence around August 1st. Although I am not a spy (as far as you know,) I won't get into details about it here.

Let's just say it's a great opportunity and that I'll relocate to Portland at the end of January. Six months of expanding my palate (see: Fear Factor ASIA!) and learning a little more Chinese then GUNG HEY FAT CHOI, oh hey! Sign me up!

The only downer is that this means moving again, which is something I do a helluva a lot for something I profess to hate. I do think though, that it's an excellent opportunity to jettison my twenties, particularly since I'll turn 30 next week. Don't worry, I've heard that all before too so all I'm saying is: maybe if I don't make any big pronouncements I'll actually throw away the manila envelope full of Christian Laettner clippings from THE EARLY NINETIES. Could be good. Also good? My Madre and Miss Piggy (her BF Peggy) are coming at the end of June. There's nobody like my mother to make me clean up my act. True.


CLASS ACT, YO. CLASS ACT!
No, I am not going to Lake Como to console George. I haven't formulated my POA yet, but am leaning toward Fed Ex-ing him a slice of my Mom's carrot cake, which is so good it could probably do a lot to bring about world peace, let alone heal hurting hearts. Thanks though, for those of you who encouraged me to make my move. It's nice to know you're keeping the faith.
