Day 3: The Burial 

The same breakfast all three days: imitation shredded meat vietnamese sandwiches. It tasted nothing like that. 

Food from the temple is always so tasty or is it because I'm always so hungry? 

We needed to wash with grapefruit leaves and hop over a burning piece of that brown paper before we could enter the house. 

The home alter of offerings. 

Everyone's a bit tired after all of the day's activities. 

it looks almost like the meat version, almost tastes like it too, almost. 

Lots of flowers means lots of watering. 

Everytime someone came to pay their respects, members of the family had to return their bows. 

Mmmm, tasty. 

It's dangerous work for some. 

Burning some money for grandpa to use.

Day 2: The Viewing 

The right side is my grandpa's name. 

Lots of flowers and lots of reflecting. 

We kept busy folding some offerings, some turned out very well. 

grandma's got alot of support 

buddhist vegetarian style food is tasty? 

Funeral Day 1 

Here's to the coolest grandpa ever. I'm going to miss you. 

Try Two

And I am nothing of a builder
But here I dreamt I was an architect
And I built this balustrade
To keep you home, to keep you safe
From the outside world
But the angles and the corners
Even though my work is unparalleled
They never seemed to meet
This structure fell about our feet
And we were free to go

And try one, and try two
Guess it always comes down to
Alright, okay, guess it's better to turn this way
-The Decembrists "Here I Dreamt I was an Architect"

Only the coolest plush toy ever created! His arms move and his hat comes off to reveal the lego nubbin! 

Well, that just sucks

I bought Meteos for the DS because it was made by the same guy that created the awesome game Lumines for the PSP. Boy was I let down. I'm not sure if it's the DS's hardware limitations or what, but the Meteos isn't as pretty as Lumines or as fun to play. A rough analogy would be that Lumines is like Tetris, whereas Meteos tries to be like Columns, which I never liked as much as Tetris. Anywho, maybe I should give it another couple hours of play before I pass too hard of a judgement on the game.

Suckage point number two: I miss Bob . . . alot.

Gosh, I hope I don't do something stupid like call him or write one of those sad begging letters.

I'm not drunk, but it would be nice if I were

Being allergic to alcohol is the absolute pits, especially when you're in Las Vegas and feeling down. Admittedly it was great hanging out with friends and family and they really helped me to not think about problems and such, but every now and then it comes back. I just wish I could have spent the weekend like I had originally planned to with that person whose birthday is a few days away, making me think about it even more because of all the plans that I had made. Drinking would've been helpful. Time to be alone and mopey. C'est la vie.
