Chopstick Lobster

Now been six months since I opened this blog, and another six months before that since I came to Taiwan. And a whole lot more has happened than I’ve taken the time to write about. Shame really, with all the thinking I put into composing (unwritten) posts in my head (77 xkcd). But then again, I did that as soon as I even considered starting one. Curses!

Just to tell you, no apologies (besides this one). Ultimately I do want to remember a lot of this stuff, and I’m astoundingly bad at doing that on my own. I also want to work on my writing, give people a clue what I’m doing and create an outlet for myself.

So I give you the Six Month Scuttle. Lobsters are particularly good at going in reverse, so posts herein are old news. They’ll sit up front for a while as new posts, then get scuttled to their appropriate date.

Bottoms up!

Not cool. Doing my laundry today and found yet another shirt with a mold infestation. This is a recurring problem that really irks me. I still have to wash all my long-sleeved shirts periodically, even when I haven’t worn them in months, in order to keep the mold at bay. With humidity 60+ year-round,that’s all you can do save from storing your things in an airtight chest with some sort of desiccant dehumidifier arrangement.

Some other victims of mold attacks have been my belt, luggage, glasses, shoes, passport (outside only thankfully) and my teddy bear. So far everyone’s ok, though I did pare down my clothes quite a bit so each new episode is not so much to deal with.
