… on what I’ve been up to in the last two days …

To complement my earlier discoveries post, and being unaware of an antonym for discovery, perhaps this post could be subtitled “Losses”, as I’ve spent the last two days looking for a plastic bag, not any old plastic bag, but a bag with stuff in it. Not very important stuff, mind, just stuff that’s annoying to lose. Having given up on ever finding it, and trying to concentrate on more important things, I’ll leave you with the following:

Other things I’ve been up to in the last 48 hours include:

• Booking a flight to New York for Mrs K’s birthday
• Realising that a fridge can be too cold, and that frozen lettuce is tough on the teeth
• Pondering the fact that this blog was a lot more interesting when I was in Asia, living experiences more interesting than waking up, going to work and sleeping early
• Signing up for a masters degree in international politics
• Wondering whether I have the time or energy to study for a masters in international politics
• Counting the calories on the label of every foodstuff in my kitchen. My plan is to start a highly profitable website called Kim Bah Lee’s Kalorie Kounter
• Realising that salt, pepper and water products generally don’t list their calorie content
• Wondering why that is - surely black pepper has some energetic value?
• Started a course in freelance writing at the London School of Journalism - snappy and highly professional review to follow.
• Finding out, quite happily, that both Lanzarote and Wired Temples have very kindly linked to me
• Bought two books by two generations of Theroux (and got stumped, as ever, by the plural of Theroux). The books are Blinding Lightby Theroux Senior and The Call of the Weird by his son
• Started writing a list of 100 things to do before I’m thirty (three years and a bit more to go …)

Otherwise nothing funny, entertaining or distracting has happened, but I feel a lot better for having had the chance to share all this with you.
