Short Update

I know I haven't posted any new entries in my blog for 5 days. Funny. There used to be a time when posting once per week is already an achievement, but that was so 2005. Ever since blogging has peaked in popularity, it seems pretty normal for people to post everyday. Or at least twice per five days.

I'm not really used to that. I've blogged a lot more than before, but asking me to do it daily is preposterous. That's especially true when I'm vacationing - which is coming to an end after tomorrow.

So what's my point? My point is to tell everyone that I'm still alive, even if I've at now grown pretty weary of the ear-splitting firecracker cacophonies. Gee the Chinese really are crazy about firecrackers. See my neighborhood to verify this.

I've also finished reading Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, and Liz was right that it was good. Merely good, not great, nor terrific, nor all those bloated praises some publishers slap randomly on the covers of the books (and if I've ever seen another book with a "riveting" on it…) My biggest problem is how unfocused the story is. It shifts perspective too often, too fast and, sometimes, too inconsequentially. The comedies and the wordplays can only do so much to a plot that's admittedly average (and at times weak). 

That's all for today. I'll be more active in 2 days when I'm forced to sit down in front of computers for 8 hours. Haha. Happy New Year. And you know, I like saying Happy New Year after laughing because it makes you sound like you're stuttering and that you're struggling to greet someone because you're too nervous. Some girls totally dig nervous guys. Well, at least they're portrayed that way in Animes. Or Transformers. Er, I was being redundant. Those are so close to real life, right? Haha.

Happy New Year.

See, I did that again. Now will someone pinch me in the cheek?
