Do you know what day it is? It’s LiShya’s birthday! Happy Birthday ger ger!

Absence

Posted by: Donn on: June 23, 2009

I’d heard that absence
Made the heart grow fonder, but

Have just melted right away.
But as the 29th approaches, Every second
Till then feels like a bloody day.

Posted by: Donn on: June 7, 2009

I read an article about how evolution may be able to explain the spread of the flu virus, and I must say that it does seem to make some sense: virus strains that kill their hosts quickly will not be able to spread as far and wide as those that simply make their hosts sick [...]

Who do you think are the happiest medical professionals?
Give up?
Heart surgeons. Because 他们常常开心。
There was this time I was in the car, when my mom mentioned that it had rained.
“Maybe some trees had fallen and it’d cause a traffic jam,” she said, in reference to a recent traffic jam caused by fallen trees.
“Well,” I said, “depends [...]
