I've been meaning to update this for some time, having returned from vacation last Sunday, but it's slipped my mind until today.
I went down to Yosemite National Park a few weeks ago. It was very, very hot. Then I returned home and, lo and behold, it was very, very hot. I mean, we're not talking Palm Springs hot, but hot by the standards of a city that tends to get a lot of rain, in a country which jokes about its two seasons being "winter is coming" and "winter is here."
I then spent a week volunteering at camp, looking after young children and trying not to trip over any of them. That went surprisingly well.
Now that I'm back, I've finally started to enjoy summer. This enjoyment process mostly involves sitting around all day on the computer, accomplishing absolutely nothing. I've been trying to adapt my schedule to also include periods of sitting around all day at the piano, accomplishing absolutely nothing, but it's difficult because the room with the piano doesn't have a ceiling fan.
I also want to teach myself Mandarin using the Internet. Yes, for those who didn't know, I'm Chinese and I don't speak Chinese. I've already gotten all the shame and disappointment from my family; perhaps you readers could try to interpret it a little more comically.
The U.S. television series "The Amazing Race," and by extension its Canadian adaptation, tends to name its episodes after random quotes said by the contestants, usually ones that seem extremely unusual out of context. For example: "There's a Fish in my Pants*," "My Cheese is Out of Control", and "Funky Monkey." In the absence of clever spoonerisms, I've decided to start naming my blog posts in this manner.
*(and also a platypus controlling me, but he's underneath the table.)
Mmm, watermelon.
I'll update more when something interesting happens, which is to say, probably never.
