Spring Break 2011: Hong Kong

1) Miss Anne Pomel sent me this delightful illustration of me last weekend and it completely made my day! I am so completely flattered and honored that someone would draw me! Thank you so much, Anne!
2) Last week, I got a little lazy and didn't write a few posts, including Analog Sunday #4. Analog Sunday #4 wasn't productive anyway. I was asleep the whole day and then watched The Big Bang Theory all night.
3) Yes, The Big Bang Theory is my new favorite past time and I am completely obsessed with the show. I must thank Diana of our.city.lights for recommending me the show this time last year. I took her suggestion and watched a few episodes, but I didn't really get into it, although I always liked Sheldon Cooper.
4) Now I am madly and undeniably in love with Sheldon Cooper/Jim Parsons.
5) Spring break was a lovely break. I got to spend time with my parents and grandma. I had lunch with Diana twice at Sen-Ryo, the best Japanese restaurant in Hong Kong and Jessie the second time.
6) Met up with Veronika of Tick Tock Vintage for the first time and in Hong Kong! How cool is that?
7) Had every intention of bringing Kitty and Chloë out and about with me, but failed since my bag isn't big enough to transport them. Also failed at photographing the landmarks of Hong Kong.
8) Got five rolls of film developed. Two are slide film and one was taken in 2008 and the other in 2009. Film is so delightful, I just wish it didn't cost so much to get developed and printed.
9) At the airport, I was offered $400 if I take the next day's flight, since they were overbooked. I said yes and then they informed me that I had to wait thirty minutes, in case there are no shows. Turns out I was able to board and lost out on $400. Sad face.
10) Watched The King's Speech again on the plane. Tried to watch True Grit, but I just wasn't captivated. Read some more Mere Anarchy. I can assure you it is a very hard book to read, but I did enjoy the story about bidding on a white truffle at Christie's and buying customized prayers on eBay.
11) Still jet lagging.
12) Still building balsa wood bridge for tomorrow, whilst watching The Big Bang Theory.
13) Hope to catch up on sleep and comments after tomorrow's class!
14) Looking forward to Woody Allen's new movie Midnight in Paris!!! Oh the poster! Although my favorite Vincent van Gogh painting is The Night Café. Which reminds me, I still haven't seen You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger yet!!!
