sea salt pita chips + extra sharp cheddar cheese + cheap bulk white wine + nonstop "the big bang theory" = the secret formula of spending a cold, windy, and snowy day in the warmth of one's abode.

man i'm gonna miss not working when i start working. .... now why i wanted a job again? oh yeah, the new iphone. remind me to get one of those when i get my first pay check. ... now if you will excuse me the next big bang theory is ready for viewing.

i'm taking mei lian's advice: when having nothing interesting to tell, i'll just report to you that i'm well. not just me, the cats are fine too. i picked them up today from frank's parents'. after two months they still remember me. daisy doesn't really care much but luigi was happy to see me, mostly for having one more person to pat and stroke him.

i'm still on hong kong time--i came back last monday. nearly every day i'm in bed by 8 pm and up by 4 in the morning. this could potentially affect my social life but give it another week i'm sure i'll have my night owl life style back.

this song, set fire to the rain by adele, is everywhere i tuned in during the long drive to pennsylvania (and to new england where i spent very little time.) i just can't get enough of it. the song, i mean.



now let's get back to the super bowl. go giants!
