monday off

I believe that noon is a perfectly acceptable time to wake up on a monday if I worked Saturday and Sunday.

South-facing windows are great in the winter. In the summer they curse my very existence. Solution: seasonally rotating house.

Only five entire nations have won more gold medals than Michael Phelps so far. That is an amazing accomplishment for a guy who looks like an anthropomorphized Goofy.

For months I've been confused. Is Beijing pronounced with a soft zhing or a hard jing. I've been hearing both, sometimes from the same people. Which one is it. And how does Peking play into this?

It weirds me out how much musrooms shrink as they cook. Seriously.

There's a lot of water in mushrooms.

Also, it's Bay-Jing, but I think both are acceptable. It was one of the four great ancient capitals of China and was Romanized as Peking.

It has also been known as:
Peiping, Beiping, Ji, Yangjing, Zhongdu, Dàdū, Cambuluc (by Marco Polo), Jīngshī and Beiyang.
