buddha by osamu tezuka…

31Mar07

I’m in the middle of reading The Devil in the White City, but got distracted tonight by Buddha by Osamu Tezuka. The book I read is the first in a series that tells the story of the Buddha. I was so engrossed that I read the graphic novel from cover to cover in [...]

scrapbooking…

24Mar07

I just helped a friend make a scrapbook for her mom’s 60th birthday. It’s the most creative I’ve been in a while. Fancy-cutting scissors, making pop-up photographs, construction paper.  It was a lot of fun.  But definitely not something I could do on a regular basis. It’s hard enough for me to maintain this [...]

delays…

18Mar07

I figured after leaving passengers stranded on planes for 11 hours, JetBlue would get its act together. I was wrong.
Flights had been canceled all weekend because of the snowstorm (not just in Boston, but along the East Coast). The weather has cleared up, but the airlines are still facing the backlog trying to get [...]

won’t fill up…

18Mar07

I doubt I even drove the rental car 50 miles this weekend because of the snow. The gas gauge dropped one notch below full just as I was about to return the vehicle. I stopped by a gas station first. I had only put in $1.16 worth of gas (less than 1/2 [...]

snowstorm…

16Mar07

A flew into Boston this morning, and it was freezing cold!!!  The guy at the rental car company told me that it was 70 degrees just two days ago.  But a snowstorm is expected for today.  I hate cold weather!

eye exam…

15Mar07

I went to the optometrist today after breaking a contact lens last week.  I ordered a new pair, and the doctor said that they will be in tomorrow.  Quick turnaround!  Unfortunately, I fly out of town tonight.  The good news is that my prescription hasn’t changed since my last exam…  which was 7 years ago!

just my luck…

12Mar07

You get back from a week of camping, and what’s the first thing you want to do? Shower, of course!
Well, I got home from camping this morning, and I was so looking forward to that nice refreshing shower. And it was just my luck that the shower at my house was broken!  Yes… [...]

broken contact…

10Mar07

My right contact was bothering me a bit today, so I took it out. I went to the bathroom to wash it out, and when I turned on the faucet, the stream of water broke my contact into two pieces!!! I guess I’ll make that optometrist’s appointment that my mom has been bugging [...]
