I am not sure which sucked more, G.I. Joe or Sex and the City 2. What a waste of a few hours.

I went to see Resident Evil 4 alone yesterday. Big-breasted women running around with big guns; that's all the storyline a movie ever needs.

Typing this message from my new and cool iPhone. There is so much I need to learn about it.
I greatly enjoyed a showing of "The Social Network" last evening. But that doesn't make me any more likely to join Facebook!

Spent nearly the whole day helping one of my mom's (blind) students with his Ph.D. thesis. Feel cheerful and drained at the same time.

Found a weak wireless signal somewhere in the middle of a tropical forest. Just writing to inform you that I'm alive and well!

The problem with inner beauty is that it's usually hidden under several layers of outer ugly.

A failed power adaptor, a dead hard drive (with lost data) and another burnt adaptor: You've had a bad week if you're my computer.

"I have way too much food in my house. If you want to come over and help me finish it, ..."

It has been noticed that when humming tunes that are rhythm heavy, I involuntarily tend to beatbox along with the notes. Intriguing.

A friend of mine stumbled upon an incomplete draft of my (fake) book beside the bed, and she really really really liked it. Yay!

Watering them every time you feel thirsty: One way to keep your silly little plants from dying on you.

Walking like a Japanese woman in a tiny kimono and still falling: The joys of a society that doesn't clear snow off its fucking sidewalks.
Wednesday, December 30, 2009
Well, the experiment ended in success in that I stayed offline for two days, but I think it failed because I didn't gain any new insight.
Monday, December 28, 2009
I'm going to try to spend the next 48 hours offline. No e-mail, no www, no VoIP, nothing. We'll see how long I last.

If I cheat, I might actually finish my first book by the end of this year! Trouble is, if I cheat, I can't really show it to anyone.

Tossing out a bucket of lukewarm water onto the footpath outside your home to clear it of snow is a wonderful idea.
Ice cream makes you skinny.

The result was me having perhaps the best meal I've ever had.
Walking home famished at some ungodly hour, I reluctantly forced myself into a seedy kebab place tucked away in the shadiest of alleyways.

Every year they say it's global warming, but then three months later it gets cold again.
Saturday, December 05, 2009

My first impulse when faced with change is always fear. Never excitement.
Thursday, November 19, 2009
I just sorted out my papers to travel to the U.K. I believe I'm going to be spending the next months at Cambridge thinking about some stuff.
