I made a dental appointment for Thursday a week. I wonder if I’ll come back with any teeth? Even if I don’t, getting that many extractions for about 10 USD is a bargain (retail price around 40 USD).
Today I had grand plans to shop for cheap pseudo-Scandinavian household goods (at a store I’ll keep anonymous) in Sha Tin. Today my Global Environmental Politics class discussed the depletion of forests in Russia for cheap Chinese furniture. Err. I re-targeted on the 10,000 Buddhas Monastery (also at Sha Tin), but by the time I’d gone out to TMTP (Tuen Mun Town Plaza, for the ilacronymate) and come back and bummed around for an hour doing nothing it was too late to head out—monasteries have closing times (how insensitive!). I could still go out to Sha Tin and shop, but the weather indoors is pretty cold (normal overpowering air conditioning plus sane outdoor temperatures) and this way I can feel better about myself and ignore the siren song of the Snafüsfalafelfjørdling floor mat set.
Everybody is scared of the Philippines (or is being polite about not wanting to go there with me, at least). I guess the terrorist activity or the travel warning might have something to do with it. It’s still tempting and I may not make it to tomorrow without tickets. I can die anywhere, and Manila can’t be the worst place to do it.
