The One Thing China and the US Can Agree On: Pandas are Awesome

My friend Audrey is convinced that pandas are really people in panda costumes. Convinced. And while I know this isn’t true, at times the girl has me agreeing with her. I mean, even a real panda looks fake. But really, they’re just so gosh darn adorable. And as it turns out, China’s going to let us keep some. Yay!

According to the Washington Post, DC’s National Zoo (it’s across the street from Zoo Bar on Connecticut Ave, NW, you can’t miss it) and the Chinese government have reached a deal that will keep the zoo’s most famous attractions – Tian Tian and Mei Xan – in the states for another five years.

Go, Go, Go Shorty, It’s Your Birthday

Today is my birthday!! Woot woot! But before we get too excited, I have to tell you that I am extremely touch and go with such days. Fortunately, I haven’t had a bday meltdown since the Disaster of 2004:

Me, between sobs: Now I’m never going to be a professional tennis player!
Mom: You’ve never played tennis.
Me: Exactly…I’m never going to be an Olympic gymnast…
Mom: You got kicked out of classes when you were five because they thought you were going to hurt yourself…
Me: I should have been more driven.

With that said, I think I might be due for the next one. And it scares me. So handle with care today. If you make some crack about me being closer to 30 than 20 and I start to cry, don’t take it too seriously. It’s just me being obnoxiously oversensitive to getting older. But really, anyone who says something like that is kind of a jerk.

Here’s to the Big 2-7! Cheers!
