Happy Mid-Autumn Festival 2012!

DID YOU KNOW that one way to feel happy and accomplished is to be SUPER PRODUCTIVE? Alert the media: breaking news, right? I got a lot of things done this morning and I haven't even had lunch yet, and I'm feeling very pleased with myself. Look, ma, I'm not a totally useless waste of space!

Also, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! No mooncakes for me this year but I did talk to family in the US and in China. Which brings me to consider:

What're your favorite kinds of mooncakes? Red bean is the classic I grew up on, but my favorite is actually lotus root. With salty duck egg yolk! Most people I know seem to hate the yolk, though, but I like the saltiness to break up the otherwise heavy sweetness. Opinions?

The new One Direction single is stupid catchy, as always, with amazing lyrics that make me chortle:

Let's go crazy crazy crazy until we see the sun
I know we only met but let's pretend it's love
And never never never stop for anyone
Tonight let's get some and live like we're young

GOOD LIFE LESSONS.

Apparently Adam Lambert was on The Voice of China, which is The Voice but, you know, in China, same format and chairs and everything (they bought the rights). My parents are obsessed with the show and have been trying to get me to watch it forever but I never expected the crossover of what is mostly RL (family always falls into that category) with what is more fandom-associated (Glambert, yes, from those American Idol RPS days).

P.S. Pterry's vampires in Carpe Jugulum (which I'm rereading) are so excellent. ♥

P.P.S. I LOVE FOOOOOD. For lunch I'm eating chili-basil eggplant and pork and Chinese broccoli in oyster sauce. Also, juice. I love juice.
