香港

How can a place be so busy, obnoxiously loud, pretentious, and yet be so beautiful, intoxicating, and feel so right? I could barely stand to stay yet hardly had the heart to leave again. I think I had my fill of fishballs for the next year, took enough pictures of the Vitasoy machines, got a little too chummy with my fobby side, and did enough shopping... for a month. Oh, the jet lag hurts.

Track 10

9 hours into a 14 hour flight. Cabin dimmed. Random - maybe even recurring thoughts. Can’t wait to get home to do some more exploring... too bad I just left. Ever felt too far from where you want to be?


♫ …maybe there’s a bit of me waiting for a bit of you, baby…♫

3 1/2 Minutes

Elle & I participated in a SpeedDating event last weekend at Dot. I must say, this is the most efficient way to meet people ever. Before starting, everyone gets a spreadsheet which lists stats such as height, age, education, etc. of the dates. Folks, don't expect any romance here. After a 31/2 minute discussion on Lewis Carroll and E.A. Poe, I checked off on Tex who immediately picked up on my Alice in Wonderland stagename. The whole affair was like 20 31/2 minute interviews - a bit overwhelming and very exhausting. But it's a great way to make new friends. When the alcohol kicked in on the last round, the dates seemed cuter and funnier... I think I just checked them all off from that point on. Results come out Wednesday - but Elle & I already exchanged info with the interesting ones. Why wait? Patience is a virtue I'm working on.
