It turned out to be an ear infection after all. (Well, first the doctor said DID YOU KNOW THAT YOUR EARS ARE IMPACTED? which is totally a no duh moment, but first he flushed them out and then he gave me a prescription for antibiotics. He also asked if I had my H1N1 shot, so that was two birds with one stone. The only down side was the hospital cafeteria's grill wasn't opened yet. I attempted to follow the "rule of dingy=delicious" for lunch, but I was in Chinatown by the time I figured out what I wanted and I um... couldn't figure out which one was the gyouza sauce. Also, my randomly ordered chicken was like almost all bones. Hilarious. I only really wanted the cake noodles, so it worked out okay in the end.)

I spent the rest of the day hanging out in the library reading Moomin's and Diana Wynne Jones. If I ever want to be particularly obnoxious, I will start to mimic Thingummy and Bob's speech patterns. I also love the author's and translator's notes, which explain to the reader what an ant lion is, then directs them to the encyclopedia for more info, and tells them to ask their mother if they want to know what orange teeth are, as she would know.


Then I went to the mall, bought more pastries than I ought. (3, but I only meant to buy two, but I had already picked up one at that point nad putting it back is awkward. the pan au chocolate was really good, though.) And then I got some frozen yogurt. The end result was at least an hour in the food court eating the snacks and playing Devil Survivor. AND YET THE YOGURT DIDN'T MELT THE ENTIRE TIME. Amazing!
