Whew, it's not a nice day out. You might even say that it is cold, wet, and generally unpleasant. Luckily for you, Gothamist knows what you need: Cute, adorable little pandas. Specifically, Washington D.C.'s newest panda, Tai Shan (a.k.a. Butterstick) who is all set to meet his public on Decemeber 8. And what a public he's got. The National Zoo made some 13,000 timed-entry tickets available to the public on Monday only to have only to have 8,000 of them snatched up in one hour. That's one popular panda!
And if that isn't enough panda action for you, check out the adorable shots that Jen caught earlier this week of the panda Jai Jai out in Hong Kong. Not as cute as Tai Shan, but you just try and tell us that they don't make today seem a little less grey.

What about the panda wedding?
ok you need to get this straight. I am mabel teng's daughter and she most certainly did not hire all of these "supporters" for no reason. Every single person she hired was eligible for the job. Her nephew was just as eligible as any other person. In fact, maybe you should meet him before you blab on with your gossip wannabe mouth of yours. My mother has worked so hard and deserves every bit of success. the people she fired were completely not eligible for the job, and on top of that, just slept in their cubicles every day. I interned there when I was in high school as part of a student program. I experienced FIRST HAND that many of the staff were extremely rude, careless, and completely unmotivated to work. Therefore, something had to be done and they needed to be fired. YOU absolutely do not have the right to write these kinds of issues and I am so offended that such a beautful girl would just write this because it seems like juicy gossip. well, sorry lady, but it's time to wake up. you need to erase the entry and apologize for writing it. seriously, you are a disgrace to the city. you are one of the reasons i hate living here. other than that, i LOVE my beautiful city of san francisco and i absolutely love my mother mabel teng. good day.
