With Thanksgiving Round the Corner...
Price of Gas (premium): $2.19
Now listening to: Neighbor's repetitive R&B through the ceiling
Happy about: Man Utd qualifying for the next round (2-1 win over Lyon)
Upset about: Professors piling on the homework despite Thanksgiving
First it was the idea of going to Indiana to visit my American family for Thanksgiving, then it was the idea of going to Ohio to visit Yuen Hann. Now, everything’s fallen apart thanks to my procrastination. All the cars at National Car Rental have been rented out. Yep, it’s the holiday season and everyone’s expected to be on the road headed home. I guess it’s a good thing not to be out driving since there’ll be massive jams.
I checked the weather forecast for this week and snow showers are forecasted for tomorrow. Man, it’s about time. Seems that snow comes down around this time of the year like clockwork. Am I looking forward to the snow? Well, yes and no. No for obvious reasons and yes, because I’m sick of it being cold and visually miserable. If it’s going to be cold, there should be some eye candy to compensate, so bring on the white flakes!
So far so good, my microwave has been performing really well for me. Been heating up cold food and it works like a charm. I was really impressed today when I defrosted a totally frozen chicken in about 20 minutes. No more leaving it out for the afternoon to thaw.
Actually I’m quite afraid of microwaves. All the horror stories about people getting blinded, their kidneys getting cooked and their brains getting burned. I think it was about 10 years back when microwaves were first introduced. I remembered that if you wanted to cook and egg, you had to attack the egg with a fork first before cooking it so that when you take it out of the microwave it wouldn’t pop in your face. Also, there was this myth that you had to wait for about 15 seconds after the microwave was done so the radiation could all dissipate. It was like having a nuclear reactor in the kitchen. But I guess the technology involved has improved and I don’t think there are such problems anymore…. Or are there?
