Coldness

No matter how high I turn up the heat, or how long I leave the heater on, it still doesn’t feel warm to me. What’s the deal? I wonder if I have cement underneath, since I’m on the first floor. Maybe it’s the draft coming through from underneath the bathroom sink.

Side note: Sacrod has suggested I do my thesis on why people blog. Interesting topic, don’t you think?

sounds like the draft is moving the warm heat away, grab like a rolled up towel to block the cold draft from entering…hopefully it will work.

btw, very cool idea for a thesis from Sacrod, you should go for it, google might even be able to sponsor it !!!

hi there… nice blog you have here… i surfed in off of blogger’s most recently updated list.

i think that that is a super idea for a thesis, it would be interesting to read. i did a major paper on adolescent bloggers in december, and am thinking of perhaps doing my thesis this fall on something similar.

The thesis does sound really neat. Some other ideas or sub-ideas in the same theme:
Blogging as substitute conversation
Or something with personality types and blogging styles

Note (added Feb 1): I asked the lady if I can take a picture of her dog and she agreed. I was about to leave, but the next thing I know, a man (her husband?) wanted in the photo. I snapped another one, but it didn’t turn out that great. Related posts:Did you know that

Update: By the way, read about what China is saying about the torch relay here and here. The Olympic flame landed in SFO today around 3:40am. There have been so many protests already. Being Chinese American, I am proud of China’s rise in power and prominence, but at the same time, I am dismayed at
