My greatest weakness

Those of you who know me well realize that the subject line of this post does not refer to chocolate, bubble baths or even a good massage.  (Although I did have one of those tonight and it was brutally fantastic, as always.)  So, despite all better judgement, I have succumbed after only 24 hours wait time to the suggestion of yesterday's Anonymous commenter and have loaded Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? to my Kindle.  This is a stupid thing to have done because I have a mountain of grading to finish in the next two weeks, and almost no self-control when it comes to limiting my reading impulses.  But I'm going to try to use it as a reward for every section I finish.  :)



Nothing exciting happened today, other than what I've already mentioned, so time to see what's in the random photo folder.  Looks like I finally have enough city shots to include a nice spectrum, and it's appropriate since I'm still indirectly talking about Blade Runner and this will help you to see what I mean about Macau's dirty beauty.


Another apartment building near mine on Macau Peninsula.  This was taken mid-September.


One of the many interesting little streets between my place and Senado Square, 
which is the main tourist spot on the Peninsula.  Taken at the end of September.


Same spot and day, but facing the other way.


Another one very near my place - I see this beauty every day on my way to the bus stop.

This is one of the cute little streets in Old Taipa Village.  (Taipa is the middle island.)

And finally, another view of the casino madness on a rainy night.  
Harrison Ford might appear at any moment...

  1. Let me know how you like "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep". Macau looks interesting! Not everywhere does it have to be beautiful. The unpleasant sights make places interesting. Today, we are getting wet snow, so is slippery driving. Mike/I had planned on driving to Alexandria to get lefse at the mall, but cancelled that. We also wanted to meet Dave/Carol for supper. Will have to do that another day.

  2. Ha... you wish!
    I always enjoy your random shots... and they give you a much needed break.

    Don't feel guilty for reading a good book... it is food for the soul. (Along with chocolate chip cookies and afore mentioned weaknesses!
