stone hot
same coffee shop, waiting for my American colleague who should be arriving in the city in about a half-hour. Korean beef & kimchi chige, plus a hot drink consisting of boiled Coca-Cola and lots of ginger. it is absolutely delicious and will hopefully stave off the oncomings of a sore throat. (i love China, i do, but i am always getting sick here. not helping. *grumpyface*)
also, you should know that i've started watching Mad Men, after picking up all four seasons from the maybe-legal-maybe-not DVD store. when i saw that the first episode started off with a conversation about cigarettes, i knew this was the show for me. (okay, and it's rife with un-PC-ness, but i can deal with awkward chuckling on my part. so.) this makes me feel a little less pathetic about Inception being the only focus of my attention at present.
and can someone please tell my father that i do not get headaches from sleeping with my cell phone beside my head?
me: "ugh. i have a headache."
dad: "what? again? you know, it's because you put your mobile by your head."
me: "there is really no scientific proof--"
dad: "the effects COMPOUND OVER TIME. do not put it by your head."
me: "i just told you, there is no--"
dad: "the proof is electromagnetism."
me: =____=
anyway, flying to Taipei tomorrow afternoon and staying until the 2nd. then it's back to America for almost two weeks! Americaaa, how i miss you and your adorable winter-scowly peoples. i fit right in.
i will bear gifts that will hopefully survive the dismal postal conditions. let me know if there's anything i can bring you guys from China / Taiwan / the Hong Kong airport! :D i love sending stuff to people.
