My apologies once again for the lack of posts over the past few days. I was stricken with a mysterious illness that left me with a 40.5°C/105°F fever and vomiting like it was going out of fashion (even at work, which is always pleasant). I’ve recovered for the most part by now, but my reflection in the mirror and my disappointed fiancée both tell me that I lost a bit of weight as a result of not being able to eat anything while I was under the weather — weight that I unfortunately cannot spare to lose. Alas, I fear that my long-aspired dream of escaping from skinnywhiteboyhood shall never be realized.

Anyhow, a bit of personal news: Judy and I will be taking a short trip to Seoul, South Korea in two weeks’ time to do a bit a sightseeing and visit a friend of mine from university. As has become tradition, expect a week of nothing but crappy photos during our absence. In the meantime, we’re still trying to figure out where to go and what to do, so if anyone (*cough* Marco *cough*) has any suggestions, we’d be very happy to hear them.

Let’s see. . . in keeping with the trivial nature of this post, in other insignificant news: Judy and I recently bought a rice cooker.

Yay.
