Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Sorry, I haven’t forgotten you, Tumblr world. I’ve been reading, just had no time to contribute.
I think I’m done with work for the semester (less the writing portfolio I need to shape up next week).
Happy birthday to me.

“The real marriage of true minds is for any two people to possess a sense of humor or irony pitched in exactly the same key, so that their joint glances on any subject cross like interarching search-lights.”
— Edith Wharton, A Backward Glance
no idea what this amuses me so
I’ll take it.

Sheung Wan, Hong Kong. Reppin.
Check out the rest of my album on my G+.
Hi Tumblr, I have failed at keeping up here! While I read my feed every day, I do more and more of my random-thought-spewing on G+. But I have to say that I don’t follow quite the same entertaining mix of anime/cartoon enthusiasts and extremely active politicos on G+. It’s just not as fun.
I am alive. Today I went to a meetup in a new neighborhood for me, and listened to a few business folk present before chatting with a few locals about living in Hong Kong. A surprisingly large percentage of people I talked to work in private equity. This city seems to be all finance, even in tech circles.
Then I got MacDonald’s as it is kind of late here and try finding protein-heavy “food” faster/cheaper than that on a Monday night. HK$27 (US$3.47) for a “big n tasty” or whatever — including fries and a drink? Yeah, not going to beat that.
I do miss home a lot though, not like my house per se but football and people from more than just two ethnicities and chocolate soy milk (the only kind of soy milk they don’t have here) and loaves of bread — here you can only buy 8 or so slices at a time.
But I’m getting on, as they (Brits) say, and I’m getting continually more used to it. I have reached my 3/8 point today. I.e., I’ll be leaving 5 weeks from today. My hope is that I will use my time successfully, and not wasted it. How often do you get paid to camp out in a foreign metropolis for a few months? Not often.
