the current

Reading:
Cosmos
Fountainhead (still..)

Listening:
Some country music(!) sound track that my boss(!!) burned for me. It's actually pretty good(!!!).

Watching:
Nothing. But hopefully "An inconvenient truth" by the gore this weekend.

Eating:
Mantou from my ex roomate. Her mom sells paus and mantous (chinese bread) in kaosiong, taiwan. Every Summer she (my roomate, not her mom) goes back home for 3 months. When she comes back, her luggage is half filled with 1/2 thawed mantous and paus, which she dutifully distributes to all her friends. She usually keeps 2 packets for herself in the freezer. And then the following summer the 2 packets will be discarded to be replaced by 2 fresh ones from taiwan. :) BUt, her mom's mantous are great! almost comparable to my mom's paus.

Smelling:
baby carrots boiling on the stove top.

Touching:
keyboard of 2.5 yo keyboard of toshiba laptop, which is now prone to frequent tantrums and refusal of working for long periods. it might have joined a union.

Feeling:
Tired from badminton. The people here are kinda trying to top each other off in making me run till i drop training me. But it's good. finally getting some training after playing for 6 yrs w/out improvement.
and also tension, because work oh work. why did my boss hafta take off to disneyland this week? why did the person in chg of the urgent -line-will-shutdown-if-not-resolved project have to go on campus recruitment this week? I dislike people dumping last minute screw ups on me, esp when those screw ups do not belong to me.
Also, an undercurrent of sadness. Because of a loss. Had seen it coming. Is for the best. but still.
Also, an undercurrent of excitement. for loads of activities that will go on in october.

Thinking:
Halloween is this month. there are several occasions to dress up - coworkers partays and also dressing up to work. It's a custom here. What shall i dress up as? ooo..my 1st halloween! dont want anything slutty. all the costumes houses sell slutty clothes. geez.
