We Chinese are not known for our spending, but hey for the Olympics we can spend 40 BILLION dollars on infrastructure....thats more money than Dr. Evil asked for! THINK ABOUT THAT!
So to all of you that think that us Chinese don't spend money take note! We do not spend often, but when we do spend its BIG!
As for Chiannna, AK skinned her knee up really well in indoor soccer...I will have to post a picture of it...for some reason it is not scabbing over and it continues to gross me out. Sadly without a scab its gotta be left out to "air" which means that I have to stare at it continuously.
Besides that development not much has happened. We have a new roommate joining us before he heads out to grad school, so that will be exciting.
Hope you all had a great week and stay tuned!

MUST BE NICE!!!
Now I know this is the blog about our lives, but since we do not live a very interesting life I have decided to post some interesting artices that I read each day... And since I read a lot of articles every day there will be many more posts.
After reading this maybe I should go practice my stand up! I can stay up late and be on TV making fun of people and/or situations. Anyways enjoy this article from http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2008/02/jay_leno.html
November 1, 2009 ABC pledges to kick Nightline off the air to make room for Jay Leno, offering him $50 million a year.
November 5, 2009 Sony raises its offer to $60 million a year, plus a gold-plated motorcycle.
November 8, 2009 ABC counters with a promise to explain to Leno the secrets of Lost.
November 11, 2009 When Leno expresses dissatisfaction with Sony Television's plans for the Jay Leno Theater, executives offer to let him design it himself. The resulting structure is a pale imitation of plans designed first by other, edgier architects.
November 13, 2009 Desperate ABC executives raise their offer to $75 million and promise that Kevin Eubanks will replace Charles Gibson as anchor of World News Tonight.
November 21, 2009 Getting in on the action, Fox renegotiates its affiliate deals to become a round-the-clock network in hopes of attracting Leno, who is offered not just the 11:30 to 12:30 slot but the entire overnight shift, from 11:30 to dawn.
November 30, 2009 Sony Television annexes the picturesque Sea of Japan island of Niijima and renames it LenoLand, replacing its distinctive local statuary with busts of Jay Leno.
December 5, 2009 NBC wunderkind Ben Silverman, driven mad at being left out of the fun, offers Leno $100 million a year to continue as host of the Tonight Show. "That doesn't mean we're giving up on Conan," Silverman tells reporters. "We'll run Jay's and Conan's shows simultaneously, in split-screen."
December 7, 2009 Fox's Kevin Reilly hints to Leno that he can't make any promises, but he's "pretty sure" he can get Leno into the Hollywood Round of American Idol.
December 8, 2009 ABC ups its offer to $150 million a year and orders Ted Koppel shot.
December 13, 2009 Holding unprecedented power over every network, Leno demands that the Tonight Show run on all of them at once. All four network chiefs accept, and further agree to run Sony Television's syndicated The Jay Leno Show the other 23 hours of every day.

With Great Power Comes......
Great Responsibility!
I can proudly say that Chianna has inspired some of our friends to start blogs of the own. The down side of this is that our friends are more motivated than us and use their free time to do productive stuff....well more productive than learning how to cook and/or do interior design via HGTV or the Food Network....
So after being HARASSED on multiple occasions I give you post number two of Chianna:
Now we warned you that our life isn't that eventful....and when YOU, the reader, decided to follow our lives you should have realized that this would not be a daily chore for you......you should set aside maybe...hmm 1 hour a month or so to follow our life...
Since my last posting we have done house organizing...which means that AK has done house organizing while I complain about having to organize..... This stems from the constant conflict that we have; AK doesn't realize that organizing like nature is a perfectly valid way of living. As in nature the older stuff, be it fossils or sedimentary layers, is found underneath the newer stuff, my office organization is the older papers are found underneath the newer papers. While unlike nature I have multiple piles of papers, much like there are multiple worlds in our universe...but Unlike nature, AK piles my piles on top of each other...now this is as if Earth gets hit by Jupiter then Pluto and someone has to come along and figure out which one came first. This is why we have decided that I have my desk and she has her, additionally my desk has to be four times the size of hers due to my organizational method.
Besides organizing for the last twoish weeks, AK's mom paid us a visit for President's day weekend. We took a little drive out to Santa Cruz to see the brother and hang out for the day....It had to be one of the nicest days I've seen in a long while... I will post some pictures of it when I figure out how to do that..
Now a little note to our friends. I appreciate you taking an interest in our lives, but as I warned you before Chianna is a very boring life form. We like to spend our time in a relaxing way, watching TV would be a good example of our normal routine. Now we could update you with what we are watching movie and tv show wise, but that would take too much work and that is not what Chianna is about!
So thanks for reading post number two..... Unlike some people....ahem "14 x 4 - 12" I cannot keep up with you!
Be safe until next time!
Chianna
