we took on diesel back in Mong Kok yesterday
one of the things proven today was that even on vacation, i am not immune to Unscheduled Naps. i lay down to read for a bit before dinner, and was unconscious when my sister-in-law called at the time on the reservation to say it'd be good if i joined everyone at the restaurant. :->
the USB mouse attached to this computer works fine, apart from it occasionally 'blinks' and relocates the pointer over in the bottom left corner of the screen.
i have notes on the whole trip, and will in fact have a Whole Trip Report at some point, but i wanted to use this title [points to subject line] before i forgot it.
got a wee prezzie for Norman, and a card with a calligraphy-style rooster on it (this being the Year of the Rooster) to go with. yay!
leaving (along with my parents) tomorrow morning. fortunately, the taxi is coming to take us to the airport at 9:45, a completely civilized hour. the following day, everyone else (my brother and sister-in-law, her sister and brother-in-law, his mother, and my brother's mother-in-law) has to leave for the airport at 6am. poor bastards. heh.
[eta: oh, also. have been getting some lovely comments on my![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
yuletide story (and one in particular that i hug close and call George -- beta types will probably recognize that comment on sight [g]), a couple of recs, and the recipient seemed sincere in her liking of it. :-) so, that's good and respectable and yay! last year i was utterly spoiled for comments and recs -- not that i wasn't proud of my story and pleased that so many people were impressed by it, but it was my first yuletide, and here i was among the belles of the ball. heh. i told myself ages ago that i was going to have to keep in mind that that was a freak occurrence, and i have done so -- but i am glad this year's story hasn't gone completely un-recced. [slightly ashamed of own tendencies to be praise-seeking whore] (i don't feel, by the way, that i'm giving away anything by mentioning that the thing has turned up on a small number of rec lists. there are a lot of things that have been recced only a few times, and a few things that have been recced a lot of times, just like always. plus, only a couple of days until the reveal anyway. my cover is un-blown.)]

Squeeeeeee on the yuletide fic. I know I've said this before, but it's brilliant and you deserve it.
