Day 133

Day 133 - 17.03.10

The instructions are so clear that three engineers needed half an hour to put together a wooden model airplane.

Bi Rain spotted on a cookie box in Shanghai, alert the press.

Oh my effing god they changed the layout of the top bar again. I just spent twenty seconds figuring out where the "manage galleries" from the now non-existant "scrapbook" tab is. Gah. Why? Why put everything together? I liked the "scarpbook" tab. Someone who actually reads LJ release notes tell me how to get the old tab layout back! Or maybe I should actually read up on that... In other news, you know what, I used to care about Saint Patrick's Day but the older I get the less I see the point in it. Why does everyone feel the need to celebrate it? I get that in Boston there are many people who come from Irish families but come on, I bet not even 10% of people going head over heels over St. Paddy Day have ever even spoken to someone who has a quarter of Irish blood. Still, I make a mean soda bread. I don't go as far as putting green coloring in it. Actually the older I get, the less I care about all those "holidays". Do I get a day off? I do? Brilliant, wonderful holiday. I don't? Does it afffect my family somehow (Mother's Day, Father's Day, etc.)? It does? Well, I'll be sending a card and calling home. It doesn't? Alright, then who cares? Alrighty, how about another story from Shanghai. On one of the days we drove all the way to Suzhou where they have these fields filled with factories, for miles on end. It's factory after factory after factory. Mind you, obviously they're not the "horror story" factories you can hear about. Now imagine this as far as your eye can see on either side! ( Supermarkets and Rain stories ahead! )
