current position: in patrick's house in houston

6/13: arrival at IAH. on the descent i notice this large body of water, and i wonder to myself what it is. i'll look it up later. jesska picks me up at the airport, and we whisk off to eat crawfish and gumbo and oysters. oysters here are huge and a lot cheaper. then we go head to the galleria, and i check out the new galleria 4. pretty kool. the banana is 2 stories now, and a nordstroms, and other stuff. the only thing i purchased from the galleria was a marble slab sweet cream w/ a fresh strawberries mix in. DEEELICIOUS i tell you. i've missed it so much, after getting it at least once a week last summer. then we went to loehmans (they need to get some on the east coast), and i couldnt resist getting a pair of rampage slacks. i almost got a fcuk shirt w/ jesska, but at the last minute we both decided no. i was JUST talking about wanting a fcuk shirt too, before we walked in. o well, next time. then ate at hokkaido. they had those flowers there, i dont remember what they are called. but my mommy used to tell me her grandma would wear them in her hair in taiwan. they smell really good. anyways, that was yummy too. then off to star snow for my egg pudding milk tea. it's been a while. they've opened another star snow in the hk mall, AND they have punch cards now! guess the competition in houston got to be too much.
