got wine?

did laundry. it was warm, so instead of using the dryer, i hung the clothes on a line. we used to do the same in our family, but switched over about 15 years ago. on warm days, it dries clothes very quickly. and of course, it's energy efficient. but it leaves the clothes stiff and wrinkly, and stretches them out. so after they dried, i popped them into the dryer for a quick tumble to soften them up. would i switch to using the clothesline more often for the sake of environmentalism? unlikely. it has too many drawbacks. and the one positive-- energy conservation-- can be addressed by installing solar panels for the house, so that the entire house becomes energy efficient.

i went dancing the past couple of nights, and met a woman from just outside of toronto, teaching english in hong kong. hk gets a whole week off for easter! wtf?!? so after dancing last night, we went out for drinks and ordered a bottle of wine. i find her hilarious. she is extremely anti-american, has a fetish for gay men, and claims that she is on the prowl for a woman to whom she is attracted, but enjoys getting picked up by men. and super excited to take pictures with belgium beers. as it was the end of the night, our server joined us, and we also shared our bottle with him. it turns out he is one of the partners of the bar, who turns out to be gay. grew up in singapore, lived in nz, worked in hk, and finally moved to taiwan to be with his bf. of course, she guessed that he was. i, lacking gaydar, had no clue. good times.
