Kevin’s birthday
Mon Jan 16, 2006 20:10 (UTC -5)Today is Kevin’s birthday, so Kevin’s family treated us to a late lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood. I had a burger, of course, and it was pretty good. Kevin had to go to a job interview at Dunkin’ Donuts at 5:00, so Kevin took us home and then went off to his interview. A few minutes later, he came back — the interviewer wasn’t there, so he had to reschedule it. We hung out at some neighborhood parks and then went back to Kevin’s for cheesecake. I hope he enjoyed it. Inspired by my success, Kevin is going to start the No S Diet tomorrow. Good luck, Kevin, and happy 17th birthday.
Kevin, this link is just for you. It’s a video showing the inside and the outside of one of Japan’s bullet-type trains (Flash, sound). It’s amazing to see a train glide along smoothly at speeds up to 500 km/h.
Today America honors Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who worked to end racial segregation. If we don’t Remember Segregation (Flash), his legacy will be meaningless. Seeing a “segregated” web site such as that is pretty unnerving, and it just goes to show how much better things are thanks to King and other civil rights leaders.
One year ago: “Today my friend Kevin (who posts comments here as kevinkagy) treated my sister, our friends, and me to lunch at Benihana for his birthday (actually, I think his parents picked up the bill, but it was still nice of his folks).”

I. i’m glad you had fun today.
II. dkd sucks
III. i hope i lose a lot of weight with your magical s-diet, jeez
IV. that shenzhen high-speed train video is really awesome, arigato.
V. and the segregation site is weird but creative/cool.
VI. spain and france have bullet trains too (ave and tgv respectively) and i’ve never been on the ave but occasionally you’ll hear it pass and it’s so loud, it’s so freaking loud. once i even saw it while we were on the highway and it disappears in a second, very very fast but cool. maybe next time we go to spain we can take that, see how it feels to be on a bullet train. weird. those japanese are so freaking advanced, God! lol.
