This article about Jiang Zemin is pretty scary. History is littered with egomaniacs doing anything they can to hang on to power, regardless of the pain, suffering, and death death death they might cause.

This past week was quite good. Amy came home on Tuesday, earlier than I expected, and surprised me. Had a nice dinner on Wednesday with just me and my little sister, Daisy at the restauraunt her boyfriend works at. Went out afterwards to meet up with Chris at the Londoner, and had the pleasant surprise of meeting up with the ever famous Peter Yang who came back earlier than expected into Dallas (for our party friday and the wedding reception today). He was also good enough to drag Amy out, who I had been unable to get out of the house. That was nice too =).

Last night, Amy and I threw a grand ol' BBQ bash in my backyard, inviting a bunch of old Plano friends including many out-of-towners who were coming back for Grace & Andy's wedding reception tonight. Had a fun, chill, laid-back time, with some scarry revelations of how old we're getting (one of our old classmates came and brought along his wife and two kids). The food was yummy and the company was better.
