Did you know that today is Red Skelton's birthday?

Last night I wrote all the Chinese words I know on a marker board. Then I went to bed, thought of more words but was too tired to get back up and write them down, and just now realized that I forgot to count all the words which was the whole point of the exercise. Anyway, it filled the whole markerboard.

I called Chera this morning! It was so good to get to talk to her, even though the phone card ran out 3 minutes into the conversation. Apox upon empty phonecards!

Tonight I get my hair highlighted with purple. I was going to dye the whole thing purple but I got to looking at how short and curly my hair is now and realized that I would look like I was wearing a clown wig if I dyed the whole thing. So highlights it is...

This summer in Taiwan has thorougly cemented my adoration of gmail. How did I ever live with just Yahoo and Microsoft Outlook?
