just got home from an event called chinatown summer nights. basically at time when the local chinatown “opens up” on a, you guessed it, summer might and there are booths, djs, live music, and the such (including ping pong). first time going, but i’ve been wanting to go for a while now, several years in fact. went with some coworkers and friends of theirs. awkward moment when i walked in. i was looking for one coworker at a bar, when this girl taps me and hands me a beer. now i don’t put two and two together. this is the same girl who got plastered at our company/friends holiday party two years ago and started dancing and getting real friendly. you know what they say about first impressions. everytime i see her now, it’s like remeeting her. later had to ask coworker and his girlfriend her name. melissa btw.
it was a fun night. we had drinks, did some dancing, and some sightseeing. now don’t get me wrong, but i’d be curious to go back with a more mellow group to sort of check out some of the other stuff. there were booths and food and whatnot. different groups of friends are into different things.
on a different note, i was checking some stuff online. i opened a new credit card that gave me general cash back. i have one with the gap that covers old navy, the gap, and banana republic. now it’s good in a sense that it gives me “rewards” on those brands. however, i’ve hard it long enough where i’ve pretty much purchased all the clothing i need, both for work and leisure, going anywhere from tshrits to slacks. the problem (first world problem of course) is that i now have apparently around 200 bucks of “rewards.” this is basically free money at any one of those brands. which basically doubles since one of them tends to have some 40 or so percent off sale every day. a nice problem to have, but after a while not so much because you can’t spend exactly enough and still end up paying for something.
now transitioning to my other card, which is just a basic cash back card. didn’t get a miles one since it is a similar issue. just give me my cash and i’ll spend it somehow. that’s a guarantee. spend it or save it, same difference.
also been trying to change my savings. i had an amount pulled from my checking to my savings every week. now i want to make the amount larger. apparently there is a 50 step process including online and phone portions. just let me give you my money already! i know you’ll use it now for whatever and i can have it later, but just take it already!
other than that, things are pretty quiet. was supposed to go to a taco festival earlier, but laziness got the better of me. plus, i was exhausted. came home last night. had dinner, and passed out on the couch. this was probably about 8. sometime later i picked up my corpse and finally got into bed. woke up about 8:30. did nothing except eat (pita and hummus) and nap. some random online stuff, but that’s pretty much it until tonight.
and now i’ve become that random person who will sometimes do single space and sometimes double. smh....
