While hardly a real witch, I’m breathing a bit easier now that Steve’s ass is parked on a plane headed back to San Francisco. Don’t get me wrong, as usual I had a blast with my brother in arms, but the time between Halloween and today should rank as one of the unhealthiest chapters of my life, right up there with that time I joined the Mormon Church back in high school. I don’t know how much weight I gained back from what I lost in October, but I can feel it all over. I’ve been so tired and feeble at work that I haven’t even left my cube to hit on any engineers, male or femaile, in over four weeks.
Not to say it wasn’t fun. I met a lot of new friends, and it was fun being the seen as the guru of Shanghai entertainment, even though my portfolio contains Guandii was the only mentionable destination. I think it’s fitting that as this stretch inched towards the finish line the past few days, Shanghai was hit with a blast of cold that just about destroyed my plans to go to work naked on Monday. I take it as a signal that it’s time to start getting back to the important things in life, a la career, health, and consuming some of the massive DVD backlog that is piled up in my room. And of course, nurturing Sushipanda.com back to health.
My Resevoir Dog Moment, though a bit more harmless: walkingon the Bund
That being said, I may have to hold off on the whole losing weight thing again, as in a few weeks I’ll be back in the States for the holiday season. That’s right, live NFL football games and burritos beckon! I guess when I get back to Shanghai, I’ll have a lot more New Year’s resolutions for me to ignore this time.
