LJ Therapy?

[elusivek]

I wouldn't go as far as to say that I'm sick, or depressed. Maybe a little down, or tired, but nothing bad really.

OK, this is Day 2 of my LJ writing streak. I find it strangely therapeutic. That's why I'm sitting here, at the foot of my bed, writing this... nonesense.

So my Mom's best friend came over today and cooked up a salt-crusted baked fish, a quinoa something and a mango-something-else-salad. The lady practically shows up once a year. She married off to Germany and is hardly rooted in one place. She stays in Germany a few months, then to Portugal, then to Sri Lanka, then to Macau/Hong Kong, and this goes on and on. It's cool and all, but I don't know... Superficially, it sounds like "wow, they get to fly around a lot!" But then again, she really only flies to these 4 places over and over again. Of course, as always, to each his own. I'm working my way to visit more places around the world.

Right.

I had something else to write about in my mind earlier. Now i don't remember what it is about.

I've recently fallen in love with my Apple TV all over again. Simply because of this little new App in it.... Tastemade! I can simply just let it stream on its own now showing and there are so many food programs.

The shows that I particularly like currently:

Dulce Delight
I don't know why, but her quirkiness makes me like her. And the fact that she can poke fun at herself?

Cooking with Dog
OK, obviously, the dog is a big plus, but while I absolutely hate Japanese people speaking English, somehow this guy makes me like his pronunciation, despite my having absolutely no idea what he's really saying half the time.

Raw. Vegan. Not Gross
I'm not vegan, and well, it's not like i'm actively working to be vegan (I'm trying to slowly cut down on meat, but I'm hardly vegetarian or vegan, so there goes), but I like the way how this Laura Miller dresses up all badass and sexy and cooks stuff (when you can see she's just faking the badass-ness) and I kind of get the feeling she's really uncomfortable cooking in those get ups. I saw some other videos of her in her Dad's farm and being all country gal and also another where she went to a farmer's market and hey, so more natural. But I'm sure it's a gimmick of sorts.

Thirsty for
I also like the sporadic streaming of this one. Again, I hardly try the drinks they show but they tend to put 60's 70's and 80's music as background music and it just makes the whole thing so special and nostalgic.

And it's not like i'm ever going to make any of these that i watch anyway. But I ike watching them :-)

It's gonna be bedtime soon and I should start packing up and see what I need tomorrow. We're going to hop over quick to Hong Kong in the afternoon for work and we are trying to throw in a mini hush-hushed celebratory dinner of sorts. I don't particularly have anything to do in Hong Kong, so I should choose a good book to take with me. For some reason, I don't feel like taking my Kindle. I'd like to take a DTB (dead tree book, haha), feels more sophisticated, I guess. I also need to buy 2 boxes of an Apple Cinnamon bread mix for bread machine from a Japanese supermarket. I shall show you. It's really the only one good (I tried all the mixes they have) that makes a nice loaf of bread.

I fixed the Japanese language input thing. A reboot of my Mac fixed the problem.

Wifi is telling me I should start packing my bag and set out my clothes for tomorrow. So I shall do that. It was a tiring day today.
