Sleepy afternoons are the most dangerous times

Wow, I haven't written anything since the summer.

Right now I'm posting as a way to keep myself awake. If I keep reading books ands magazines I'll doze off and then jet lag will have the best of me. At the Newark Airport I bought a couple Will Shortz puzzle books so I've also been working on some KenKen.

It's been a couple of years since I last visited Taiwan, and this time I haven't been keeping up with the news, so I'm feeling a bit out of the loop. Usually there's media on the plane ride over that would help me feel mentally (culturally?) switched over. But instead I opted to watch some fluff. A long plane ride is not a bad way to finally see Avatar and Desperately Seeking Susan. I also discovered that I'm no longer averse to Arrested Development since I've seen other recent shows that are similarly short on attention span.

I'd forgotten that since red is a lucky color, stock tickers here use red to indicate gains and green to show losses.
