and comes from the depths of my laptop’s innards. HDD Health warning! Well that is twice as hot as it is here in Shenzhen…I suppose I should go into full backup recovery mode. In case you don’t hear from me for a few days, that means [...] I’m going to do it. It’s going to happen. I swear. Maybe I’ll give up all my other hobbies here but if I actually get this done, it’ll have been worth it! Even though I’ve frequently visited the shopping venues right next to it, I hadn’t actually gone near Shenzhen’s Kempinski Hotel until today, when I came to find my parents who had just crossed the border from Hong Kong to Shenzhen. For American prices it’s a good deal to book, I hear. But I [...] I went to play badminton at the school courts today.

Today’s article was one of the other 50% and speaks of [...] Last week I got two small, baby turtles from a street vendor. Their names have alternated from “Emeril and Dolce” to “Elmo and Remington” to “Bebop and Rocksteady” (follow the link if you are not of my generation/are Chinese) and are currently “red turtle” and “green turtle.” They are sleepy things, usually sitting [...] For the first time, in picture format! ….Except this still isn’t the way I wanted them…Ryan, can you tell me sometime how you embed your Flickr photo albums into your blog posts? |
