Out Shopping

Published on Oct. 29, 2006 in Taiwan

I must take a few moments to send a congratulation to my girlfriend, who just finished taking the GRE. She is in the process of applying for her PhD in the States, and so the GRE is thus required. Interesting, as we walk along the streets, I am routinely asked: "so, what does @!*% mean?" "Heck, I don't know!" While I would consider my vocabulary larger than the average English speaker, she still asked me some rather random words.

As a reward, I agreed to go shopping with her. So, today we woke up at 6:00am, she took her GRE, and by 11:30 we were off to lunch and several shops. Those of you whom know me can sympathize with the pain I was in, as you know I don't really like shopping. At one point she was browsing some shoes, and I sat down on the couch. Looking out over the store I recognized not a single male, and couldn't help but laugh inside. Luckily we finished lunch and finding her a pair of shoes by 2:30pm, so headed back to my place.

To finish the reward we came across the Mister Donut Man, and I somehow ended up taking a picture with him/her. Indeed, as with any mascots I enter, I had a strong desire to tackle him, but restrained myself (doesn't everybody have an urge to tackle mascots?) An overall good day.
