Quickies: Valentine’s Day Special

Shopping week is finally done — I am registered, sectioned, and ready to go!
* Currently have a love-hate relationship with the weather. Adore the sunniness, could do without the windiness. Snow’s coming in for Valentine’s … definitely need a cuddle buddy. Regardless, I’m so glad I get to pass by this beautiful river view every morning.
* If you haven’t already, support Harvard Computer Society’s Valentine’s Day effort to bring some love to campus! Fill out your Datamatch forms and get a list of your most compatible Harvardian matches.
* I wrote my debut column for CollegeHumor last week, generating 130+ critical comments. This week, check out a commentary on getting ass at any cost on Valentine’s Day. I suggest something absurd like preying on insecure girls for sex; people totally take me seriously. If only this happened in tutorial.
* At Saturday night’s date auction, Terra bought me and I bought (half of) her pal. Adia and I are headed to Broadway sometime this spring on a $110 joint date with a hunky Harvard theater veteran.
* The Harvard Independent did a Valentine’s Day interview with me and I had a fun photo shoot with my favorite man — John Harvard. And by fun, I mean I was told to channel “tortured artist.” Here I am looking … morose.
* Tried yoga for the first time at Karma Yoga Studio with the Asian American Women’s Association. Brought Terra along for figurative support but could have used some literal assistance. I was way off-balance most of the time and I woke up today with new sore spots.
* My final course list this semester includes Sociology 156: Quantitative Methods in Sociology; Sociology 97: Tutorial in Sociological Theory; Sociology 67: Visualizing Social Problems In Documentary Film and Photography; and Foreign Cultures 67: Popular Culture in Modern China.
I’m taking a trip to New York for President’s Day weekend. I’m arriving this Thursday night and staying until Monday afternoon. Absolutely no plans or accommodations at the moment, but I guess we’ll see what I can pull off last-minute.

Huzzah! A much stronger CH post! I knew you could do it. I’d also like to point out that guys are insecure around Valentines Day and that, despite the rumors, we have feelings too. Like hunger. And…gasiness.

Don’t listen to the naysayers on CH– your column is great two weeks running.

Any idea as to what you’ll be seeing on Broadway?
We’re (and by we, I mean NY) supposed to get hit with a Nor’easter over the next couple of days, hopefully the streets will be clear for your arrival. Manhattan is beautiful encased in snow…getting around town in it, not so much.
Going to read the new CH piece right now :)

Your second column was much stronger than the first. When you let your strong sense of narrative take over and utilize your dirty wit for effect rather than shock value your work really shines.

There was an amazing article in some boston local around xmas advising guys to go out and pick up lonely jewish girls at bars, among other things. It was… horrifying, and hilarious.

Tell you what, if you put a link to my site in your blogroll, you can stay on my couch in NYC.

Hey, don’t undermine my photography skills! Just because I suck at giving directions doesn’t mean the pictures turn out bad. In fact, I would say the pictures came out great. Not that I’m biased or anything.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Gung Hey fat Choi……you are a Chinese princess!! Graduated from Harvard a while ago and saw dudes having sex in the Science Center for unknown reason. Does this still go on? Willing to have sex for sociological reasons (with you).
