Note to self:

The sun comes up sometime before 5:30 over here.

Back to things that are important...

like the ABBA musical...which fails at many things...
But is still totally awesome at other things like this:



I mean I can totally understand Pierce Brosnan, but what happened to Colin Firth? Seriously, Mister Darcy? And he's gay? I...I...need some time alone. To think about things.

It was bound to happen....

Finally drank all the beer in the vending machine. TS for me...and everyone else I guess.

Another reason not to use anti-perspirent:

It makes my armpits itch like the dickens.

Procrastination

leads to hilarious finds on the "Best of Craigslist." At least it's more entertaining than writing or finding apartments.

Today....Is our INDEPENDANCE DAY!!!

So, I celebrated America being the best country ever by roaming around the hills of another country, beer always in hand, delicious steamed bun occasionally in hand. Imagine your local county fair (or, more accurately, the unlicensed Bonnaroo food vendors). Except, instead of everybody on drugs, everybody just speaks a totally different language.

Anyway, here's a July 4th treat as I wander off to other places to celebrate. Imagine the most watered down light draft beer you can. Then water it down some more. You end up with:


Yes, that's right. Taiwanese Bar Beer. Made in Japan. FYI.

Nightmarkets are kind of awesome

Today I:
played softball outside the Genomics Research Center (or GRC Field as the locals call it). I know what I'm up to every afternoon if its not raining.

I need to find a way to sneak-fish for those massive tilapia in the stream on campus.

It's been a while so,
