Another reason the Hong Kong Airport rocks my socks...

...besides the multiple varieties of (real) orchids growing everywhere, is the "Resting Lounge." Nestled between two regular unassuming gates, hidden from the moving walkway, are a series of reclining chairs (Paul, what are they called again? Like the deck chairs...?). Each one has its own bush/shrub/tree (or two, or three) for added ambiance and restfulness. Seriously, I was about to curl up on the floor and then I saw this, like an oasis.

Micropenis excites US publishing house

Once again, thanks to the Bookslut Blog for the link.

In less phallic news, I'm on my way back to Korea to teach summer school and delighted at the Hong Kong airport's free wireless internet. Take that LAX.

If I had a dollar for everything I didn't do...

And the word of the day is: HIATUS. I've been receiving some not-so-subtle hints from my readership (Alice's comment, Kaya's book, No One Cares What You Had for Lunch: 100 Ideas for your blog) that I should start blogging again, so here I go.

I seriously never cease to amaze myself with how little I can get done during the summer. But, to make myself feel better, here is a list of all the things I HAVEN'T done in the past four weeks. I have...

- NOT secured a job (although I have had a couple of interviews...)
- NOT bought a plane ticket back from Korea (will I be stuck there forever? Ok...I'll try to remedy that today, I swear!)
- NOT done any lesson planning for summer school (SAT prep...no problem!)
- NOT found an apartment (but have looked at a few, and am looking at some more this evening)
- NOT cooked a four course meal (or baked anything)
- NOT gotten past the Rennaisance in my GRE Lit. studying
- NOT purchased a new pair of running shoes (ahhhh! sore knees!) or a new watch (ahhh! water damage!)...will take care of the former today, hopefully...
- NOT written the great American novel
- NOT visited the Harvard Museum of Natural History or the ICA
- NOT been to a movie theater
- NOT composed a symphony
- NOT run in any road races
- NOT updated my blog

Ok, so I'm a big waste of space, and I'm enoying it!
