TGIF

i'm home. arrived in shanghai this afternoon.

definitely never going to live in guangzhou. let me put it this way - gz is so dirty that when i was sailing along in a cab on my way home from the airport, i actually stuck my head out of the window and thought (rather, exclaimed) to myself, 'wow! shanghai is so clean!' now that's just fucked up. just relieved to be back in civilization, i think.

went home, hung up a dress, and immediately my clothes-hanger rack snapped and collapsed. yup. i'm definitely home now.

will now be heading to bed where there is no hard tile floor under my back, no dirty china hotel sheets, no button that illuminates the 'do not disturb' button near my door. granted, it's covered in clothes that will soon be on the floor, but i'm not complaining. i'm no longer living out of a suitcase with clothes that i packed with the intention of trucking around southern vietnam in. i arranged the 4,000 grooming items i've purchased in my 8 weeks away - lotions, facial cleansers, scrubs, serums, eye gel - in a nice row in my bathroom, which now looks like an upscale watsons. i washed a lot of laundry. had some thai food with cyn. unpacked some more. it's a nice feeling.

tomorrow i intend to get my ass to yoga and attempt to shake loose the knots and globules that have knit and accumulated, respectively, since i've been gone. then we have a stiletto party at de la coast.

good night.
