Shanghai forces me to consider going to the cinema to watch movies I have little interest in seeing. Yes, Hancock, I am talking about you.
Icing my hamstring.
Our new ayi has been here nearly 5 hours and has not even hit the bathroom yet. Very thorough. A welcome change.
Should I be concerned that H&M Shanghai plays music that I actually like (and own)?
RIP: Wawa. A tragic, but probably fitting, end to a nightmare three days for my beautiful wife. (Wawa was her pet fish.)
I think we need a bigger vacuum. It's scary how much dog hair can accumulate over a weekend.
Charmant has evolved into my meeting room.
Doing a weather search I just learned that there is a place called Wimbledon, North Dakota. It's partly cloudy and 79 degrees there.
I refuse to cheer for a man in capri pants.
Heading out to try to replace all the crap that we lost when Bliss's bag was stolen at Sasha's last night. Good times.
See a Chinese guy in a "DON'T IN MY NAME" T-shirt? Punch him. He likely stole Bliss' handbag and numerous personal belongings at Sasha's.
Found out today that Sasha's gets its exterior painted every two months. Cost? 500 kuai.
Trying to get my local shop to stock Laoshan Lemon Mineral Water. I need it to help me get through the summer.
Our dogs, for some reason, really seem to like women from the Philippines. Perhaps due to all the Filipino TV they watch?
Enjoying a Laoshan Lemon Mineral Water, a Chinese Perrier of sorts. Label says "Since 1905," but I just discovered it yesterday.
Breakfast with the elusive Mr. Goldkorn today. Nice chap.
Hooray for Zheng Jie. (Now I can go to bed.)
Heading to first Gaelic football practice in a year. Hopefully my calf survives.
Windows Mobile gives me a headache.
RIP: My day with the late UGA VI: http://is.gd/I3E/.
