meta: green tea
A few weeks ago, my doctor told me that my cholesterol is higher than it should be. It’s not in the danger zone yet, but it’s elevated. We have a history of high cholesterol in my family, and both of my parents are on medications to keep their levels healthy. But my doctor [...]

Ton of Bricks
I don’t know what the hell happened yesterday, but by the time the dim sum I had for lunch was in my belly, I was ready for a long nap. I hit the sack around 4:30, and didn’t wake up until almost 6:00. Ever since then I’ve been inexplicably depressed, obsessing over the [...]
