Sex Type Thing

Today… got a for­tune from the tem­ple. It was #68. Not sure what it means, the priest explained it to my par­ents in Viet. Had veg­e­tar­ian phở with the fam­ily for lunch. Found out the the recipe is a fam­ily secret, and Mom’s afraid it’s going to die out with my gen­er­a­tion. She des­per­ately wants me to bring home a girl­friend who will learn how to make it for my kids and all future gen­er­a­tions of Luongs to enjoy. Teach­ing me per­son­ally or my sis­ters how to make it appar­ently isn’t an option.

After that, chilled with the fam­ily and watched Mulan 2 with them. It was a huge steam­ing pile of crap. I can’t believe the stuff Dis­ney green lights for direct-​to-​video production.

SPOILER: So yeah, the plot of the movie is that Mulan and Shang have to take three princesses to a neigh­bor­ing coun­try to wed princes and forge an alliance to pre­vent the Mon­gols from attack­ing. Of course Mulan is opposed to arranged mar­riages, but decides to fol­low Shang’s lead. Shang picks Ling, Yao, and Chien-​Po to be guards, and they of course fall for the princesses and vice versa. The mis­sion is scrapped for the sake of true love. What about the impend­ing Mon­gol attack, you ask? Who cares? Dis­ney doesn’t, and they don’t think you should, either, because there is no men­tion of those guys ever again.

After that, went back to Davis. Chat­ted online for a bit and then Julie C — I mean, Dinh — picked me up for the Kappa Sigma ice cream social rush event. Everett and Jason G came, too. We met up with James at the Union, and two poten­tial pledges showed up. One of them was Xuong! I haven’t seen that fool in days! We went to Cold Stone on Fair Oaks and chilled.

Today’s quote comes from our con­ver­sa­tion in the car ride back:

“This is my favorite song!”- Julie C, as Lil Kim’s “How Many Licks” came on the radio.

No won­der her nick­name is JTP* and why she’s in Alice’s line. Any­way, back in Davis, I chat­ted some more and took care of some mail­ing list busi­ness, then went over to Kitty’s place to watch Kung Fu Hus­tle with her, Ter­ren, Jane P, Eddie C, Will, and Peggy. That movie is hilarious!

Oh yeah… Peggy trans­lated my for­tune for me. (It was writ­ten in Chi­nese.) She says it’s a poem about hav­ing a clean house and yard and win­ning law­suits and hav­ing a cure for my dis­ease. And that the poem means that basi­cally I’m going to have a kick-​ass year and can do no wrong. I hope she’s right!

Now I should knock out so I can go table for Kappa Sig tomor­row. But I’m hav­ing an inter­est­ing con­ver­sa­tion with my LB. It might end up as a bonus quote tomor­row. We’ll see.
