I wonder if I could tie the ocean to your knees.

The My Dad School of Melon Consumption (to which I am also an adherent) goes a little something like this:

Honeydew: eat plain
Cantaloupe: sprinkle with black pepper
Watermelon: sprinkle with salt

Why not take those ideas and apply them to the Kit Kat?



I almost didn't buy these because I knew exactly what they were going to taste like: a chocolate bar laced with the essence of Watermelon Jolly Rancher and Morton's. And I was right! Ungood.

It looks like fall out. Rays of sunshine on dead and dying leaves and I'm packing to head to Somewhere Else again.

I've got no idea what I'm going to. I'm leaving with a backpack and a vague plan.

Wish me luck.

Australia : t minus 27 hours.

I have nothing to do with the new Google ads marring my blog. Thanks a lot, Livejournal.com.

I took this pic in the Western District of Hong Kong. Look at that elevated freeway: that fucking thing is winding at fourth- and fifth floor-height through a bunch of apartment tower blocks.

Look at the bamboo scaffolding being erected against the lamppost at the freeway's concrete foot.

Look closely at that old man sitting on the green chair underneath the freeway. Not goin anywhere. Not sellin anything. Just chillin.

HONG KONG!

It is the Hong Kongiest and best.



PS I hate the fact that McDonald's has appeared in so many of my recent pics. Ugly.

Anyway, I'm feeling pretty fancy this afternoon. I just finished my lunch: fish slice congee, boiled choy sum, iced tea. I ordered in Cantonese and it totally worked! Didn't have to repeat myself or resort to English! I paid the check- the cashier told me the total in Canto and I understood! HK$36! Sat there for a few minutes meditating over whether I wanted to see the raw egg in boiling water enough to actually order one, and decided against it.


What else, what else? Oh: disposable travel vibrator and cock ring! Each will vibrate for up to 40 minutes and comes in a discreet plastic carrying case. (I'm sure these things are worth apprx. a hill of beans; I just thought it was a funny thing to be on the drugstore shelf next to the corn remover. By the way, do corn remover pads work? In light of the overwhelming success of my Become More Flexible Initiative, begun in March, I'm launching the Improve Hideous Feet Initiative. Preliminary focus groups have indicated that a hideous corn must be dealt with if the Initiative is to be a success).


I'm glad I carbo-loaded on congee: I'll need my strength for tomorrow's 8-10 hour ladypose catalog job on the Mainland. Unusually (actually, for the first time ever), the client sent my agency a detailed schedule for the day. I'm so glad to have all this information, including the name of the photographer ("Snake Jiang"), and what may or may not happen at 5:30pm ("tea time, depends"). Depends on what!

I got the ice skating job! The show was today; I just got home.
