Woke up at NOON today. Stayed up too late last night. I worked on some things for class. Then went to meet Brandy and Yutta at a local music shop. The owner [of the music shop] is also manager of a nearby bar who recently renovated it. They added a stage so bands can play music. We hung out at the music shop for a while. Mostly because we were waiting for a cab to drive by. The cab drivers are getting new cars. They used to have old green rugged ones and now they are crusin' in shiny blue ones. Mmm, toxic car smell. They are still issuing new cars so every now and then you can see old rugged green ones crawling along. We go to the bar to practice some music. Then we went out to eat. 好吃! Then back to the bar where I played drums, Brandy sung, and two other Chinese played bass and guitar. Then Reuben met up with us and soon after we went for a massage. Our regular masseuses were not present, so it was random masseuse night. I prefer to get new people every now and then. You get to meet new people, practice some Chinese, and each masseuse has their own technique. Back to home to sleep soon after this posting.
