Like a scene out of Joy Luck Club..
July 24th, 2006 -- Posted in ;P | 2 Comments »This is a conversation from Sunday while having dim sum at Flower Lounge in Millbrae. The setting is your typical dim sum place on a Sunday afternoon: loud talking, lots of asian people, steaming food everywhere. At our table, was 13 people, 1 of which was NOT asian.
Emily introduces me to her friends.
Emily: ..and this is Patrick and his girlfriend Anita. (Patrick and Anita are chinese.
)
Patrick: Oh. Actually she’s my wife. We got married recently.
Later…
Emily: So Patrick, where did you guys get married?
Patrick: Oh at the Yangtse–
Emily: Wow! You guys got married in China??
Patrick: Oh no. Yangtse Restaurant down the street…
Only in the Bay Area.
Totally separate from this. I have to rave about my favorite online radio station, Radio Paradise. I used to listen to it a bunch at my old workplace. I haven’t listened to it in over half a year. But tonight I felt too lazy to turn the other computer on (which has all my iTunes music), and so I just went back here. They played some American Analog Set which has a funky electronic sound to it. Then they played Sunday’s Summertime which is an all time favorite! How can you not love the beautiful voices of ingenues with a guitar? After this they played a New Order song called Ceremony. Great STUFF!!
Anyway I totally recommend it if you have an interested in discovering new music. The range of music taste is across the board. From the great old stuff to great new stuff, it all can be found here.
