<p>Haha nice. Why don’t you sing a JayChou song for her? (that’s if you know who JayChou is)</p>

83

<p>yes quite in fact I do.</p>

<p>Actually, I was going along something having this kind of sweet melody
[YouTube</a> - Angie playing April by Tchaikovsky](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmmVVvI8FoE&feature=related]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmmVVvI8FoE&feature=related)
with the texture of this
[YouTube</a> - Arthur Rubinstein plays Liszt.](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejXPcv9MS7s]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejXPcv9MS7s)
mixed with this

<p>ok if a guy played liebestraum no3 i would be physically incapable of turning him down. if she’s anywhere near as much of a classical music junkie as i am, DO IT. it’s magic.</p>

<p>gosh i love liszt. the tchaik’s okay too.</p>

<p>and aww, why does that have to be a “typical Asian” thing? most Asians would actually not do that, and i cringe whenever i hear things like that, even as jokes, b/c they only enforce negative stereotypes.</p>

<p>References to Twilight appeared on the latest South Park. Haha</p>

91

<p>I saw the movie today. I laughed uproariously… I read the books just because the girl I liked had told me to and now that I have seen the movie… Wow…</p>

92

<p>@GimmeStanford, Your first answer is soooo totallly funny…hahaha…and the sad part is…I agree…but I would like to create my own equivalent of Berkshire Hathaway…haha…</p>

93

<p>Berkshire’s holdings are down 40 % - not so sure you would like to be a part of that. Warren Buffett is a genius, but even a genius can’t avoid a global economic tempest…</p>

94

<p>But at least the situation of Berkshire Hathaway is not that horrendous considering it holds large amounts of shares in Wells Fargo, GEICO, General RE and etc. I have faith that Warren Buffet or his successor will be able to turn the table for Berkshire. Furthermore I believe the shares of Berkshire are below its intrinsic value so maybe if I had money I would considering buying its shares for long term investment…</p>

95

<p>ProjectStanford you can’t look at what where his holdings stand now, you have to look at what he’s doing. He and his company are going to emerge from this fiasco in ridiculously good shape, I have complete confidence in them.</p>

96

<p>Random question: You all have the Stanford viewbook, right? A bunch of the pages started falling out of mine. It was so disappointing! I had opened it like twice and then about four or five of the pages came out of the binding. Did this happen to anyone else?</p>
