Yes. I've utterly failed the test of time. Blogging comes and goes.
Give me another chance. I swear I can do better.

Awake. Take basal temperature to see if my progesterone has kicked in. 35.14degrees. Lick fertility slide to see where I am in my cycle. Apparently ovulating. Wonder if all the effort i'm putting in to natural birth control will pay off. Don't shower. Eat breakfast of Nutela and Toast and sweet tea. Brushed teeth. Put on same clothes as yesterday. Speed check my email. Get ride to Jane bus by mom. Feel like i'm 19 again heading to Ryerson for an 8am class. Take Jane bus to Jane Station while reading '1919' a history of the Paris Peace Confrence. Feel exceptionally smart for reading a non-fiction novel. Ride to Ossington Station while feeling overly paranoid about terrorist bombers and students with hand guns in their back-packs. Survive the ride and realize I live in a culture of fear. Take the Ossington Bus to College. Walk to the YMCA. Change into clean gym clothes. Listen to a half naked chinese woman berate her teenage child for something i'm not sure of. Watch as they both weigh themselves. Do my cardio/weights routine which is starting to get boring but when completed feels good. Sit in the steam bath until my face feels scorched. Switch to the sauna to dry off. Wonder what the chances are of catching a foot fungus in the locker room from not wearing flip flops. Change into clean underwear and same clothes as yesterday. College Street car to Bathurst. Bathurst Street car to Bloor. Bathurst bus home. Intense emails and phone calls, some work related some not. Ready for a nap. All before noon.

Matthew and I are inches away from buying our tickets to Beijing. Korean Air is looking like it has the best prices and the right timing.
This is the part of the pre-trip that is the most crucial. The purchasing of the airline ticket. It means commitment. It means you are locked in. It mean you had better think about getting a Chinese visa to go along with that flight.
Other than that, I'm excited to eat Kimchee at 30, 000 feet above sea level. Also that I haven't been talking out of my ass for the last 6 months, saying i'm going away and never doing it. At least some of the time I follow through.

This will be the only comment I'm going to make about the Virginia Tech Incident. Why do they keep playing up the fact that he was from Korea? They make it sound like he got here yesterday. I'm really wondering what the media is trying to say here. He lived in the USA for almost 15 years since he was 8 years old. I think that's about enough time for him to forget his roots and learn to murder people North American style.
