Tonight Wes, Lorien, and I went out for slurpees to celebrate Lorien's birthday, and to break up a 50 round Mario Party 8 game on the Wii. The 7-11 employee was new, but he was cool. He mentioned Lorien and I didn't have the anodized aluminum slurpee straws like Wes did. Wes mentioned he had to drill out the lid to fit the straw down, and the employee said "I just trached mine"—it was awesome.

PS Slurpee in Chinese is 思樂冰: Ponder Happiness Ice

Today is my wife Lorien's birthday. I love you, happy birthday!
