There was something nice about Napster… I’m not an audiophile or even really consider myself a hard-core music fan, but downloading stuff from Napster satisfied a real need… get something for free cheaply. I won’t say it had more appeal than that, and I didn’t really use it all that much, but the feeling that you’re getting some digital stuff — quite reliably and fast — for free was awesome. I don’t get the same feeling with bittorrent, maybe just because it’s so slow and the interface is different. Also, I don’t like web site feeders that direct people into it.

 If anything - iTunes is the Napster 2.0 for me. Of course you have to pay for everything, but it’s a decent interface (could be improved) and very reliable.

This is crazy - apparently a boy at his High School graduation was up on stage and blew a kiss to his Mom. The principal sent him back to his seat because the students had agreed to just walk stiffly and not do any gestures like that. The principal was just trying to enforce an orderly graduation ceremony without too much boisterous activity.

It’s hard to see that there are still slaves around, we have been talking about to treat every person the same. Hope one day we could all think that it’s a shame to treat other people as a slave, but I do know that in some asian countries the men do treat women very badly! We need to have more people to talk about it!

Japanese knows the best of how to treat flowers, they have the history of more than 1,000 years to make them pretty. Each little girl has to study this subject, just like we have to learn Ballet in the US. I always hope that I would be able to know a little bit about it. I can never arrange the flowers in such a neat and presentable way:-)

I took my older daughter to this show this morning. There was a big storm and we were waiting for more than 10 minutes downstairs for a taxi but could not get it. Finally we decided to walk, we took part of the lower Randolph, when we got there we heard lots of people calling home and mentioned that they got it there on time. We got the fourth row seat which is very nice, Elizabeth got to see them so close!

It was a nice show with lots of characters,  Dora, Boots, Diego and the baby Jaguar and many many others. There are lots of dancing, music and very colorful too! Elizabeth favorite part is the Diego finding the baby Jaguar!

Since they use the real people’s face other than custom, at first she was wondering about Dora a little bit. I think it might be better to have a custom Dora head?

We went to the free Easter egg hunt at the Lake Shore Park. The even starts at 11:00am. Since we had experience before that we need to be there earlier, we were there at 10:45am. It was so cold today and we all lined up by the building and lean on the wall otherwise we will be blow away. All the kids are very excited. We showed the kids where the eggs are, Elizabeth mentioned that she was going to get all of them!

As soon as we were allowed to go in, we run into the park and I was helping Lydia to hold her basket, she was a fast picker, we end up of 10 eggs in less than 2 minutes! Elizabeth got more eggs in her little basket! A couple friends from our building came late, they just missed the egg hunt, so we gave the little girl a few eggs which made her very happy! 

I like to go to the Tokyo Lunchbox to eat lunch, their sushi is so fresh, I like the sashimi salad bowl. It comes with the white rice on the bottom, the fresh sashimi and salad on the top, I also enjoy the spicy source they give to me. The price is quite reasonable, $9.99 for a large box. I also found out that they offer buy one get one free at 3:30-4:00pm, I have not get to take advantage of it, but today I will go to get some fresh salmon for Elizabeth, she really loves that.

We are going to have an egg hunt again next week, which has all the people from Elizabeth and Lydia’s class and some neighborhood kids. We bought some plastic colored eggs and some egg chocolate. We put some chocolate, small stickers, some quarters and candies in the colored eggs. The kids love to prepare for this event, if you have more recommendations of what to put in there, please leave a comment!

We are going to do our annual egg hunt from tomorrow, I found there are different locations where offer this free activities, this is so cool for the kids. Please go to the following website to find the park from the chicago park district  which is close to you:

We are going to the Lake Shore Park which located at the 808 N Lakeshore Dr. I remeber we went there once when my older daughter was one year old, but I do not remember if we have got lucky to get anything:-)

The event starts at 11:00am so we will try to be there a little earlier to beat the crowds!

I got two new little basket for the girls and hope they would like them!
