Chinese Food is Tasty

But, as C's cousin pointed out last night:
M: Chinese food isn't very user friendly.
That's one of the funniest things I've heard in a long time. Alas, I wasn't with an HCI crowd, so no one else could appreciate it. I need a crowd of Chinese HCI peeps to hang with so we can all laugh raucously about things like this.

Guy Advice

Maybe this is why we're not getting anywhere.
Friend: Have you ever sent an email to C where you think afterwards, "Oops, that was probably a bad idea"?

Me:
Story of my life, man.
Me: Now I just avoid sending emails

Friend:
What's the best way to handle it?

Me:
I usually make a phone call
Me: If it is just weird and ambiguous, i send a quick reply email.
Me: You know like, "oops, i meant blah blah... hahaa"

Friend:
Ok. I did the latter

<snip incriminating details>

Me:
It is also good to point out that you made a mistake
Me: Girls love that
Me: i am wrong a LOT
Me: :-\

Friend:
Me too
Friend: Which is weird to me, because in everything other than girls, it's not so much the case.
Friend: So really, i think it's them that's wrong... but i never tell them that

Me: Yeah. Admitting fault is not the same as actually being at fault
...I'm definitely lucky to be with C.

Office Productivity

Tony: I wasn't too productive yesterday. Too much youtubin'...
M: Hahah... no doubt. I bet that thing has killed office productivity worldwide. Except china, i bet they dont allow youtube into the country
T: Hahaha!
T: Somewhere in youtube central, they keep track of how much they are killing productivity
T: It must be great.. "20000000 hours killed today! target: 30000000 hours. keep it up, boys!"
<T changes name to: T - Youtube: Killing productivity in 5 minute increments>
M: Hahaha... it is surpassing msn messenger for #1
M: I bet someone has a list somewhere
M: http://www.pcworld.com/printable/article/id,128122/printable.html
M: youtube, #1 baby~~
M: I'm suprised facebook didn't make it on
T: You'd expect myspace to be there, too
T: The guy writing the article must be older than 20 then
The irony, of course, is that we were wasting time on IM to engage in this conversation.
