ennui
D's away in Florida for a conference, and i'm bored out of my mind. There's so much that i could be doing right now, but the house just feels so empty and quiet. It's not like I hate being alone or anything... After all, we were apart for 5 years right? I should be perfectly happy to have some time to myself to do WHATEVER I WANT! Like dance, or go out with friends, or go shopping, or cook, or read a book, or go shopping or go shopping or go shopping! But..*sigh*...miss having someone to listen to me rant about my day. Miss having someone around to decide what to have for dinner. Also miss brushing my teeth with someone leh. heee....

Anyhow, that someone is now having lots of fun in florida where it's 30 degrees celcius out, at a beach resort right on the Gulf of Mexico. The conference program even schedules a break from 1 to 6 pm every day, so off they go to the beach to play! Wah... I better work harder and get more results, so I can also go for such a 'conference' and come back tan and relaxed a more informed grad student. Boo.

I also want! (That's really where he is now...*sniff*)

*sigh* those americans...
a london review on some website, by an american (surprise surprise):

To your left. To your left. To your left.

I'm fairly certain that the British proclivity for doing everything to the left is not just a product of Tony Blair's government. I recall hearing about this driving on the left thing even when Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister.

So, to all the other cultures, most without nuclear weapons and a Hostage Rescue Team that could abduct our political leaders and steal off into the night without detection, who continue to say that the U.S. is a big problem to the world for sticking with the English system of measurement -- despite even the English having hurriedly tossed it aside like a prophylactic wrapper before an elevator interlude -- I say look at those same English. Most of the rest of the world (civilized and otherwise) drives to the right. We board escalators to the right. By gosh, we even tend to walk to the right on crowded sidewalks. Being different for the sake of being different isn't cool... it's annoying. And it's un-American. Fix it.
