I’m back in Seattle.

Heating, low noise pollution, and a steady internet connection. It’s good to be home.

Now I can exercise without sucking down car exhaust!

I just spent my Thanksgiving break with my family in Seattle.

For the first time in months, I was able to distinguish the smell of car exhaust from the surrounding air.

Here are some pics from my trip.

Being Kevin Chiu – The perks: Free trip to Hollywood, Free computers, Free iPhone – all in the name of research!

I always find myself returning to Xanga.

Life
I was invited through my kevinchiu.org blog to an all-expense paid conference in LA. WOOHOO! It’s sponsored by Nokia.

It starts on Oct 27th and I’ll be staying at the Marina del Rey Marriott. It has a helicopter landing pad.

Watching
Coffee Prince rocks. I just finished watching all 17 episodes + the special.

Playing
I still don’t have a TV, so my Wii is not getting much action. I’ll wait until Super Smash Brawl comes out and then I’ll get something. I’ve only been the sole owner of three systems — the N64, the Gamecube, and the Wii. With each of those systems, I’ve only purchased 1 game – Super Smash. Now you know where my allegiance lies. (Actually, I own a DS also, but that was research-related.)

My new blog at http://kevinchiu.org/blog has just gone live. I’ve imported all my old stories from my blogspot blog and given it a fresh design.

New York isn’t so bad.

Columbia is pretty cool as well. I’ll need to get some pictures, but for now just believe me when I say some of the buildings are incredibly decorated – like they came out of a movie or something.

Also, I got an awesome research project: Hacking the iPhone!
 

I just ordered a Wii from Toys’R'Us the other day.

It’s on its way here.

=)

I just missed out on the most awesome apartment in NY. Crap.

I forgot to do my laundry last weekend -> twice as much to do this weekend. T_T
