Leftover Chinese Update: Miscellaneous Bits and Gripes


My stop finally reopened after a year. I now barely save time on my commute.

- I should really be addressing the holiday cards.
- On Sunday I purchased a 10-pack of Chap Sticks from Costco. So far I've already opened two (2).
- I don't mind the snow at all this year.
- This afternoon, the mail carrier left a 'sorry we missed you' notice for my neighbor. However, they didn't leave any mail...as if leaving the mail without the package was any different than leaving mail on a normal day.
- I switched newspaper delivery services from the Sun-Times to the Tribune. I got sick of the Sun-Time's tabloid journalism and went for the more conservative of the two papers. I held out a long as I could because I like having 2 puzzles to do each day. However, the recent coverage of the local missing pretty white-girl and her cop husband turned me off completely. Guess what? They still print news in newspapers.
- I went to the dentist today to get a filling replaced. Attempting to drink hot tea as the feeling comes back to my mouth might be a brilliant or terrible idea. We'll see.
- I'd post my top albums of the year but you've either already seen them listed somewhere else on the internet, or you won't have any idea what I'm talking about. I'll save the space.
- Last week was the annual work group outing. It turned into a seven hour binge. I don't think I ever pulled that off with my actual friends.
- I might actually finish a quest game on my Wii. I haven't finished a game in years.
- I read a book! It was okay and I read it fairly fast. Time to get back into the Harry Potter series.
- New Years Eve is twelve days away. What happened to 2007?
