It's Friday night, and I'm staying in. i should be out socializing, but i just couldn't muster the umph to do it. i'm in my pjs, and my favorite slippers; snuggled up with all the fleece blankets and pillows, nestled between the dogs. can you blame me? besides, i have a fog in my brain today. it's been there all day, clouding up my thought process ( Read more... )

That's right, only 18 more days until I'm off. I've devoted my morning to Best of Shanghai where I've learned about various temples, pagodas, vegetarian restaurants, Chinese Jews, and a punk rock bar with posters of Kurt Cobain and Bob Marley. My hands are clammy from a mixture of one-quarter nervousness and three-quarters excitement. In middle ( Read more... )

Philip Seymour Hoffman is such an amazing ( Read more... )

few things inspire me to write in my livejournal, but tonight is worth remembering. let me just say, i love my friends, i love life, and i love spring. as i'm writing this the birds are chirping. we just arrived home at the time michael usually wakes up for work, so we're feeding the dogs now... we want to count some sheep at some point. we started ( Read more... )

I found my new favorite beer, and let me tell you it has nothing to do with taste (despite winning several beer competitions in the UK and US) and everything to do with packaging. Let me introduce you to Kiuchi Brewing Company's Hitachino Nest White Ale. It is not only adorable but it's also quite palatable. The bottlecap is even adorned with a ( Read more... )
