    below, the view of my building from our local 7-11
    mine is the blueish glow, top-right ;0)
    i probably shouldn’t have shelled out the heaps of dosh for the blinkyness – but it sure is pretty!

    SA slang info from Wikipedia:
    pozzy – house or home; place where one lives or hangs out.

  • the magic parcel adventure

    after school on friday, i hopped on the bus (not pictured) to Kaohsiung…

    where i took the subway to zouying station,

    where i took the High Speed Rail (up to 300km/h) to taichung,

    where i got on the slow train to Dajia,

    where i picked up the deliciousness from SA! Mom sent me some droë wors, coffee cookies, rusks, scarves, Black Cat peanut snacks, Cadbury’s, my SpringLeap T-shirts – and even a copy of DeKat!! color me crawling on the floor with laughter when i noticed the fruit-cake and the designer tissues *lol* awesome!!!

  • Saturday with the kids

    here are some pics from my 11-hour day with the kids (teachers and parents) from kindergarten last saturday. we went to a “farm” in tainan county, called “cow’s house”:
    doing the loco-motion – everybody’s on the train and ready to roll!
    daywalker – our guide avoided the sun at all costs.
    moving on up – snapped in transit.
    calves – the hungry kind
    we’z gots ta get some!
    note to self: cut out figure on the right…
    standoff: Jocelyn wanted to feed the pony – but she wouldn’t stand any closer.
    Meg loves candy – mom loves coloring.
    my sentiments exactly!
    Dylan made it to my desktop with this one :0)

  • Hell hath… well… nothing, by the looks of it

    You gotta love this guys explanation of Hell…
    The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term.

    The answer by one student was so “profound” that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well:

    Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

    Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.

    One student, however, wrote the following:

    First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.

    As for how many souls are entering Hell, let’s look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.

    With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle’s Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

    This gives two possibilities:

    1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
    2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

    So which is it?

    If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, “It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,” and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct… leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting “Oh my God.”

    This Student Received The Only “A”.

  • bullet list madness

    it’s one of those saturdays: my brain is running spirals through 4 dimensions and neither of my twins – nor my subconscious archer – have anything remotely resembling a grasp on the horse’s reins…

    just a taste of what’s buzzing upstairs:

    tiramisu requires:

    • Mascarpone cheese
    • raw eggs
    • sugar
    • espresso coffee
    • ladyfingers
    • liquor (substitute)
    • cocoa
    • heavy cream (should never be merely optional).

    5 experiences i’d like:

    stages of learning:

    • acquisition
    • fluency
    • generalizaton
    • adaptation

    or:

    • unconscious incompetence
    • conscious incompetence
    • conscious competence
    • unconscious competence

    for apartment:

    • mirrors
    • crockery
    • frames for art
    • art
    • comfortable couch
    • heaps of old books (hardcover-ish)
    • mop (cleaning service?)
    • fix the washing machine
    • drawing board
    • magnets (idea board, fridge etc)
    • lighting solutions
    • air conditioner
    • sound system (O.Cat speakers?)

    check the lease – maybe a smaller apartment is the answer?

    freelance income supplements:

    • copy writing
    • magazine work
    • apparel design (graphic tee trend set to grow before it finally blows over)
    • creative studio (too soon)
    • resurrect life-stylist concept

    aaaaaarrrgghhh – go to sleep!

  • google meme

    i took the cue from warrior scout over at kickin tina:

    this is a meme that’s been around, but i thought some pictures might be good today. everyone is tagged if they choose to be..

  • they know that "Loop" is Afrikaans for "Walk", right?


    i nearly wet myself laughing at the cuteness of it all: Peugeot’s new, green concept car is a thing of beauty, called Loop. which is an Afrikaans verb describing the most ecologically friendly mode of transportation ever ;0)
