With no funny anecdotes to report lately, i shall quickly summarize what the last couple of days looked like in my parts of the world : getting slobbered all over my new pair of 3/4 pants by two adorable drooling dogs, eating a really tasty couscous salad which i will attempt to re-create for my lunch tomorrow, drinking champagne with blackcurrant juice (yum), watching Collateral, King Arthur, Aeon Flux and Underworld Evolution, finally getting rid of the first creepy rental apartment which means bond money is coming back my way, which also means i'm either getting a laptop or a coffee machine very soon (i know which one i'm leaning towards, i can almost smell it!), feeling homesick because i won't be home for chinese new year again and i want my annual feed feast of dried bbq pork and pineapple tarts, discovering a drive-thru coffee shop on the way to work (yipeee), discovering Nappisan does work miracles on a stained white T-shirt from a colour run in the wash, and having the strange urge to throw away my entire shoe collection and start from scratch because none of them seem to fit me anymore. Could my feet have failed to stopped growing?
