Summertime climes


It's a gorgeous day here in Shanghai. The last day apparently in awhile so I'm definitely soaking it up and enjoying it while I can. It's funny how when the weather's nice, it makes everything happening that day feel cheerier.

Three nice things that's happened so far today:

1. A coworker has brought in his new puppy named Conga. I've never been a big fan of small dogs but apparently I'm a huge fan of TINY ones.

2. Have discovered the Washington Post Mensa Invitational where participants are asked to create new words by adding/subtracting one letter from an existing word. Past winners include:
Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.

Ignoranus : A person who's both stupid and an asshole.

Intaxication : Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.

3. Finally, This video. I'm loving the synths. I'm loving the hair. Most of all I'm loving killer dancers (Note: Next time you see me at Not Me, I'm going to be busting out the massive arm motions). If days have theme songs, this song would be the theme song for today.

Wishing you blue skies wherever you are!
