jetlag

(December, 2005. Central, Hong Kong.)

I think I'm mostly over my jetlag now, except I woke up just before six in the morning feeling really really hungry. An egg custard tart and milk tea would be great right now.

For those who have been listening to me ripping my hair out: the dress search continues, but may reach its conclusion today. Stay tuned.

24 hours

(February, 2007. Narita Airport Terminal 1, Japan.)

I was supposed to fly LAX-SFO-HKG, except the LAX-SFO flight was delayed and I'd miss the connection to HKG, so they routed me through NRT instead.

I've always liked NRT, it has good shops and you can get good food (soba this time), but this trip, between the waiting and layovers and flight time, I'd spent an extra 6 hours in airports and on planes, making for a grand total of about 24 hours spent getting to HKG.

A new record, I think.

change

(April, 2006. Pasadena, California.)

We went to my local comfort food place today and found it is now a big dug up hole. They have another restaurant in South Pasadena, we tried it but it wasn't as good.

things we hang on to

(July, 2006. Los Feliz, California.)

Like a rug that belonged to your grandmother, or an old wallet of your dad's.

happy blog birthday

(February, 2007. Honolulu, Hawaii. Santa Monica, California.)

One year later, I'm still here. Also have been forcibly switched to new blogger. (I'd been holding out.) It's doing weird things... ack!

on the beach

(February, 2007. Waikiki, Hawaii.)

You can't really tell, this is an old lady wearing a red bandana, big movie star shades, and a blue swimsuit with a skirt.

road food

(April, 2006. Lincoln, Nebraska.)

I told Andrea last night that I missed her to pieces. Something about being in the middle of America, at a place with a gigantic monumental/ornamental arch that is on Route 66, getting up in the morning and hitting Starbucks, and finding a pressed penny machine, I felt like I was back on our road trip.

snow

(January, 2007. Upper East Side, New York.)

Managed not to miss the snow before I left New York! And then it snowed in St. Louis last night too.
