Things I wish I could fix.

1. Hands that freeze easily despite gloves, hot water, pockets, or hand warmers
2. Feet that freeze easily despite thick socks.
3. Sweaty palms, which makes gloves rather miserable.
4. Two left feet.
5. Being tone-deaf.
6. Being half deaf.
7. Dry skin.
8. Tenderfeet.

Question of the day.

Where have all my ideas gone?

How to make vending machine trail mix healthier.

The vending machine trail mix is unsalted, but a tiny packet contains two servings, each of which sports 120 calories and 6 grams fat. Here's how I made it healthier:

1. Open packet.
2. Dump packet contents into a clean styrofoam cup.
3. Discard packet so I won't read the nutrition label.
4. Enjoy!

Back in the USA.

Harry Potter is a horrible book to travel with. I managed to get halfway through with hardly any effort. His only redeeming quality is he can keep your immigration/customs declarations forms uncrinkled.

小笼包 is not something that should be eaten every day.

HK has fewer opportunities these days.

There is no food in the fridge.

The guy who was supposed to be my boss left the company during my absence. Interestingly, the offer letter still went through. Fortunately, my previous colleagues still seem to love me and are calling for my return.

Seoul was the cleanest city visited on this trip and filled with incredibly polite and helpful people, even if we didn't speak the same language. It's too bad the food is so expensive.

I have no idea what horrors lie in my mailbox.

There was a giant cobweb stretching across the second floor. I walked right into it.

I dozed off this afternoon, which was a very bad thing to do. On the other hand, driving to the grocery store in a fog isn't such a great idea either.
