Hi everyone, did you miss me?

It's been 2 days and a handful of hours sinve I've arrived to HK. What a wonderful time I'm having. Odd thing is, I haven't done a darn thing.

Okay, so that's not exactly true - I've done a lot of Chinese New Years related activities, and to be quite honest, I've forgotten how much fun it can be during this time of the year.

But anyway, let's save that for another time....

So I'm at Chicago's O'Hare airport, needing to pull a number two. I walk into the stall, and notice that there's essentially a plastic baggy wrapped around the toilet seat. What a neat idea. Instead of providing those stupid tissue-paper type rings traditionally laid on the seat for sanitary purposes, they now use plastic sheathing.

However, there's just one problem. How does one get a clean sheet??

Looking at its construction, there's a green line at one side. I grab the bag, and yank it across the whole of the rim, thereby getting a fresh section. Smart.

And that's when I see a sign saying something like: Simply wave your hand across this sensor to get a new piece of plastic.

D'oh! The sensor even had a counter to keep track of how many pieces of plastic it's used!

I knew this was theoretically possible, but didn't think it was a reality.

"Man gets fired for bloggin."

UH-OH

I'm leaving on a jet plane, do know when I'll be back again. I'm not sorry to go. (Apologies to John Denver, R.I.P.)

I woke up this morning, and I could feel the cold in my bones. The chill in my spine, the ache in my joints. I knew today was going to be brutally depressing.

It took a long time to wake up too. Exactly an hour after my alarm went off, I rose from the bed. I had all the intentions on the world to be at work by 9am, but ended up not waking up until 9:20am.

Why? Because last night it snowed. Many people were sagely predicting a "mild" winter, boy, where they wrong. It's been attrocious this year, constant snow falls, not in record heaps mind, just enough and frequent enough to be a drag.

Here's a quick snapshot with my (fixed) camera. Notice how absolutely foggy it looks? That's because my windows are so fogged up in the mornings. Anyway, I did that on purpose to show everyone just what my dreary life is like when I ritualistically pull back the curtains each morning. Talk about doom and gloom.

But hey, I'll be in HK soon enough, and if nothing else, at least snow won't be a factor. I don't care what anyone says, I'm looking forward to this trip. I definitely am.

....if nothing else, I get to play hookey from work for two and a half weeks. Yippie!

I just want to say "Thanks for the memories. What a ride." to ill-pill.net It's been a real hoot peaking into your teenage angst ridden blogs. You'll be missed.

I know the writer occasionally checks over here to see just what's up, so I appreciate that. Anyway, here's a quick little virtual wave just to say, "See ya!"

....We needed more people like you. posted by losir at 2:31 PM

Updated the "about me". As time goes on, there will be more and more links to my old posts. Heck, I'll even make it so that clicking on the link will bring up the post, instead of the week of the post, and then you searching for the exact date. I just don't feel like doing anything web related these days.

Otherwise, I'm tired as stink because I had to get up at 7:45am to get my camera back. It works. That's the end of that.

Maybe I'll update later, maybe not. I'm spent. posted by losir at 11:56 AM

Like most red-blooded American males, I just finished watching the superbowl. Hurrah.

I'm not a big fan of football, so I wasn't glued to the telly. However, what rubbed me the wrong way was the commentator saying something like "the Bucks are 'world champs'".

Which is really just a little too arrogant for my taste. We all know how the United States of America is the center of the universe and all, but come on? World Champ is a little too stretched. Heck, they're not even true US champs, since each state doesn't have a "professional" team. Yes, they're the champs of the league, but that's about it.

I guess if they need to lie to themselves about how they're "world champions", they might as well believe that bullying Sadaam is the same as "fighting a war."
