My xanga is totally dead.  So, in a gallant attempt to liven things up, I uploaded a picture of a kitten in a froggy hat.  Cute AND cruel.

Today I was taking the elevator down to the parking lot, and this old Chinese guy was already in there.  He asks me (in Mandarin) if I'm part of a PhD program or whatever.  And I wanted to play around a little, like pretend I wasn't Chinese and that I didn't understand him.  So I was like "Hmm?  Hmm?"  But he keeps repeating his question as if saying it a couple more times will force me to comprehend Mandarin.

Eventually, I gave up and was like "No."  I should've just said "Sorry, I only speak English," but because I'm a wimp, I give up and succumb to my linguistic skills.

My computer has a virus.  If anyone knows a good virus-cleaner-upper program please let me know before my hard drive spontaneously combusts.
