Most of the stuff related to moving to the new apartment had been settled, and now I get to write by a new window of a new place. Finally I'll be able to have some regular presence on the web again ( Read more... )

Something just came to my mind ( Read more... )

Have I ever mentioned that I'm really particular about teas? I usually don't go for those instant stuff. I mean the premium stuff, the tea leaves with pedigree. Of course, such teas are usually somewhere between somewhat and very expensive, and I can't often afford such teas with my budget, especially considering my equal love of good red wines. I ( Read more... )

A good Friday evening must be spent outside under the beautiful twilight and cool wind. Although I have to go back in to finish things up at the lab soon, being able to take a breather like this is like a blessing to me. With a good music in my ear, the wind caressing my mind, and the veil of twilight spreading across the sky in clearest blue and ( Read more... )

The music of violin is especially fitting with the calm afternoon sunlight streaming in through the windows... It sounds as if the light and the instrument were made for each other, sharing some fundamental secret amongst themselves ( Read more... )

Cold ice cream on hot summer night. I prefer mine to be green-tea. What gets better than this at relaxation? Almost nothing I say.

I'm in a small park by the Lincoln center right now (blessings on the public wifi!). It certainly feels quite different when I'm writing in outdoors. It's pleasantly chilly and windy right now, and the world is taking on the cool colors of the dusk, as the especially beautiful sunset today had left us in its last violet glow, spread out on the ( Read more... )

I was worried that the thunderstrom would miss my part of the city, and disappear in the heatwae ( Read more... )

Currently at MoMA. I'm writing this using my trusty eeepc and the generous (though not-so generous when we think of the admission fee into this place, although entry after four pm on every friday is free) free wifi connection provided for museum patrons.

It is really great that museums have gotten around to allowing free and rather unlimited access ( Read more... )
