Black Friday was a fail. A major fail. Malls were open at 12am so my brother and I decided to take a nap after the family Thanksgiving party and wake up at 3am to go to the mall. That did not happen. We woke up at 4:30am because my brother's friend called him to ask him where he was. It was so hard to wake up! But we did it. We drove off and arrived at the mall around 5am and I really needed coffee so I decided to go to Starbucks first. The line was SO LONG for Starbucks. People waited in line for almost an hour so I decided to suck it up and not get coffee. I shopped around, but got scared off by the long lines for the registers. I obviously do not have the patience to be a Black Friday shopper. Anyway, my brother bought a pair of boxers with bananas on it. And that was it. That was our shopping spree.
I do have to commend myself for experiencing my first ever Black Friday though. All of my Fridays have always been--not black.

Thanksgiving Dinner
For the first time in my life, my family decided to roast a turkey! It was a great success I have to say and the best tasting one I've ever had. You see, a lot of Asian families here prefer to eat chicken/duck on Thanksgiving rather than eat turkey because turkeys are so huge and not too flavorful or tender. That wasn't the case this year. We marinated our turkey in beer for 2 days and added all the flavoring the day we roasted it. We also stuffed it with glutinous rice. It took so long to roast! But it did turn out yummy =].

I want a camera!
I can't wait until I get a camera so that I can actually post some pictures onto this blog. Maybe on black friday? Anyone have good suggestions for a decent camera? Sorry the blog has been pretty bland.
Elections
http://vote.sos.ca.gov/contests/statewide/
You can find the results of the election in the above link.
I actually didn't vote. I didn't vote during the 2008 presidential election either. I am not even registered to vote yet. Is that bad? I've been told many times that I should use utilize the citizenship I have and to "have a say" in politics. Will that really make a difference though? Sometimes I wonder how many students do not vote in these elections. I know that many of the people I've talked to didn't vote. Many don't go out of their way to do it. Since we have so many life necessities that we can rely on the internet for, I think voting could be one of those possibilities. You know, we're so caught up on the things we need to do for ourselves and being distracted by all the technology that we have access to. If voting can be one of those things where you can go online, register, and cast your vote, there would be an increase in voting participation. That way, people don't have to go out of their way or rush to and from work, school, and whatever else they have to do. We have enough secure technology to pull it off. Just sayin.
