We rarely buy anything in airport duty free but I was very tempted by a LIVE HAIRY CRAB

A refrigerated display case of hairy crabs in Shanghai Pudong airport, each tied with string to stop them escaping

either the airline sent my check-in email a full day early or i have once again bungled basic time conversion

if your email says 24 hours until your flight you cannot send at midnight the day before for an 11pm flight without scaring the shit out of some people!!

watching a modern cdrama to improve my language fluency and I'm about 10% better in business and social situations and 1000% better at devastating put downs towards my future daughter-in-law who is not the same social class and station as me

I'm afraid that I have -- once again -- dramatically overestimated my productivity and have fallen far behind on my goals.

But tomorrow, I'll totally be able to do all the things I didn't do today plus all of tomorrow's tasks, right?
