Countdown to Chinese New Year


So I'm feeling guilty that this week is turning out so boring that there's nothing exciting to write about. If there's nothing big, I guess I can write about stupid small stuff. Feel free to stop reading now, unless you happen to have lots of time on your hands that you'd like to waste.

So I stopped doing my own laundry. It costs $80 HKD per load to do it in the building, and you have to keep calling the concierge to unlock the washer and dryers (plus sign more forms than you do at tax time), so I figured I would start having it done. So I dropped off about two weeks of dirty clothes and it only cost about $110 HKD. What I didn't realize is that there we just going to shove them in a bag when they were dry, so things were pretty wrinkled. Still better than doing it myself I guess. Next time, I will ask for ironing and hangers.

I must admit, I've been watching American Idol. It's my link to the homeland, what can I say? Okay, so when the brother made it and the sister didn't? Man that was sad. There must be a lot of good people, because they didn't even show them once. And what's up with the fat hairy guy that Paula likes - man, he can't sing!

I'm thinking about buying Eileen some Hello Kitty pasta. She'd never eat it and probably try to decorate the house with it or something.

I think they offed the baby next door. I haven't heard it crying for weeks.

So I haven't stepped on a scale in nearly a month, which is a little scary. Also, no running except for when I was in Japan. When I didn't really eat that first week, I totally lost weight. But then I hit Ben & Jerry's a couple of times and now I'm not sure if I swung too far in the other direction. The clothes aren't too tight, so I guess that's a good sign.

Man, I'm even boring myself here so I'm going to sign off. I'm out of here on Saturday morning, Friday for you all, so I'll probably send my next update when I get to Macau.

Happy Valentine's Day Adam! And everyone else!
