Good News/Bad News

Good News: Sarah has successfully taken off from Los Angeles - next stop TAIPEI
Bad News: Still 12 hours away from getting her here

Good News: There was a total solar eclipse (not eClipz:) ) here in Asia (mainly in China) that's actually going on as I type this and like some of the early people in the US, I am watching it on TV/internet. You should watch the coverage of it though, someday I'd like to be able to see this thing in person.
Bad News: The sun has already set in Taipei... it sets at 6:30pm here so there's really no hope in seeing this one here

Good News: My stitches are 100% removed
Bad News: Still a little swollen but another week and I should be 100% normal on my foot. I'm about 90% right now.

Good News: I played Ping Pong today for the first time in a while and held my own against a work colleague
Bad News: the room was rather warm and I had to go back to my desk rather sweaty.... need to take a change of shorts/t-shirt to play pingpong in while at work.

Good News: The movie Goonies is just starting on HBO
Bad News: I wish I could record the Chinese translation of "DO THE TRUFFLE SHUFFLE" to share with all of you

Good News:This article from MSNBC on "8 Cool Attractions of the Future" is actually pretty cool for the skyscraper lovers or archetect lovers.
Bad News:The thrill of Taipei 101 will not be for long as it's passed by others for "tallest building"

Good News: I'm 1/4 of the way through the newest Stephen King book and it's pretty good.
Bad News: I still have some 450 pages left as it's a very long book and only out in hardcover. The other kids at work make fun of me carrying around such a huge book on the train, etc.

Good News: It's the weekend for ME!!
Bad News: It's still one day away for most of YOU!!

Plans for this weekend are pretty loose but I plan on showing Sarah the highlights of Taipei. Of course there should be some pictures next week to share with all of you!
