Well this weekend went by quickly. Being the genius that I am, I was finally able to hook up our new high-tech DVD player to our antiquated TV of 18 years. At first, I had no idea hos to hook up our DVD player with our VCR, cable box, and TV together, but after some extensive research via Google, I had some guidelines in how to hook everything together. I managed to get sound but no picture Thursday night, and I grew very frustrated. My friends kept asking me if I hooked up the wires correctly. I knew I had. On Friday, I realized that I had turned the Progressive Scan switch on, and then I decided to turn it back to the default setting: OFF. Wah la! The DVD player started to work! It was great. When my parents came home at 7 pm, I showed them my victory. I put in “Office Space” and we started to watch it. That movie is so hilarious. I never really appreciated the movie until I interned at an advertising agency last summer. The scene where the characters beat up the fax/copy machine is so funny. There were times when I wanted to kill the copy machine at work. After laughing through the entire movie, my family and I decided to go to Baja Fresh. We got our food amazingly fast.

On Saturday, my mom and I went to Costco to go shopping. I got myself a new Venus Divine. We also bought a ton of food. I’m so happy because before our fridge only had eggs and Polly-O String cheese. We had some yummy turkey burgers and fish for dinner that night. Oh yeah, I must have had a pound of strawberries. Mmmm!! They are very low in sugar, so it’s all good.

Sunday, my family and I went to Flushing. We went to eat dim sum at KB Garden (it has a new name now). We went a little too late, so I didn’t get to eat my baked pork buns. I was disappointed, but that’s life. I love dim sum so much. It’s so exciting to see little Chinese ladies pushing silver carts full of steaming food. My favorites are: xia jiao (shrimp dumplings), xia chang fen (shrimp in these long rice skins), chao shao bao (pork buns), sticky rice, and a bunch of other things. You know you’re at a good dim sum place when all the dishes are nice and hot when they arrive at your table. A sign of a bad dim sum place is when you see little English cards on each cart. I went to a very bad dim sum place in Chinatown, and there were like 3 carts and everything was labeled in English. Also, all the food was cold. I was so disappointed. The point of this paragraph? GO EAT DIM SUM!!

Well, I need to get back to my laundry. Just thought I’d update you with my exciting weekend on Long Island! Oh yeah, the Lovely Bones was a very good and sad book. I highly recommend it to all you chicklit fans. Now I’m reading:

Sushi for Beginners

I love Chicklit!
