  • Today is my LAST DAY at work! Yesterday I spent most of the day at our Hsinchu office. The Director's wife had a baby about a month ago, so she came to the office yesterday to meet everyone and to let Rebecca (see…

  • OH CANADA! I've always been proud to be Canadian, but today I'm even more proud. This is why. Woohoo! So maybe now people will stop asking me, "How is Canada different from the USA?" I'm in a really good mood. …

  • Yesterday was a feeding frenzy of good byes. Sort of. One of my students took me out for lunch, and then a group of my students took me out to dinner. Very yummy. Dinner was especially good because they took me …

  • I'm SO not motivated to do any work. In fact, I'm finding all sorts of busy work to do other than actual work. I've been organizing my office, chatting with Peter, deleting old e-mails, cleaning up and removing all …

  • It's Pride Weekend in a lot of the big cities in North America, like Toronto, so I hope you all enjoy the sun, the parties, and all the eye candy. HAPPY PRIDE EVERYONE!!! I look forward to seeing all your photo…

  • My three day weekend has begun. And where am I? At work, of course! Where else would I be? I came into our Tianmu office today to help wrap up training and assist the new manager here with a few things before headi…

  • Better late than never! The whole flower situation got sorted out, finally. Today Peter received the roses that were supposed to be delivered to his home on Saturday. (3 days late!) I'm glad that my baby is now …

  • Busy day today... so only time for a quick update. Definitely not feeling inspired to work. I had a great weekend, and coming back to work is almost painful! I saw Batman Begins last night with my friend Lewis a…

  • Okay, I feel like an absolute retard right now. Saturday was Peter's big day: his graduation ceremony from university. So, being the thoughtful boyfriend that I am, last week I ordered flowers to be delivered to his…

  • When I left Taiwan in 2002, I received a few nice gifts from my colleagues, friends, and students. The nicest gift I received back then was a Sony Ericsson T68i (One of the top model cell phones at the time) from my …

  • The good byes have begun. Actually, they began last Friday when I had lunch with an old friend of mine, Vincent. We've known each other for years, and even though we haven't seen much of each other this time around, …

  • Why am I sleeping so much? The last couple of days I've been dragging my ass out of bed a lot later than usual. Very unlike me, especially at this time of year. I'm up around 5:30 or 6:00 and hit the gym at least th…

  • I'm back at work physically, but my mind is still in bed. I'm still feeling lethargic and stuffy, and in some ways I feel like I'm moving in slow motion. The remnants of this cold are still lingering and won't let me c…

  • So in a rediculous twist of fate, I was sick as a dog on my first day off from work since my Christmas break. It wasn't pretty. I started to feel it on Thursday, and by Friday I had this nasty head cold that made my s…

  • 29 days and counting. Woo hoo! Less than a month to go! Ask and you shall receive, so they say. In my last entry I complained about not having had a smooth, stress free day for a VERY long time. But yesterday tur…

  • And the countdown continues: 31 days to go. Just once before I leave I would like to have a day that doesn't involve drama. Just one day that runs smoothly and I don't have to deal with other people's crap. It's i…

  • On weekends I like to hang out near the Warner Village cinemas (XinYi District of Taipei) for many reasons. First, it's the best place to go shopping. It has the highest concentration of malls, department stores, and l…

  • I caught up on my sleep last night. I must have crashed at around 9:30 (Definitely before 10 pm) and then finally got out of bed at 6:30 am. I rushed to the gym to squeeze in a chest workout before starting my day. T…

  • I'm running on a minimal amount of sleep right now. Last night I stayed awake til 11 p.m. to watch Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (It's the only show that I make it a point to watch in Taiwan.) About an hour after I d…
