Back and wonderful lyrics!

I'm back in New York. As I thought, the damn snow delayed us. *makes a face* It was only an hour so I guess it could have been worse...

Plane ride was okay but it would have been better had there been no delay, I had gotten some actual sleep before we left and if I didn't have to sit in the middle seat for both flights.

But I'm back. I've only been gone for three weeks but already it seems like it was a lifetime ago that I was here last. Why is that I wonder? Hmm...

Anyway, my mother sent me along with a ton of food, of which I'm sure I'll be eating until the end of the semester but it sooo good! Pork chops in a ketchup sauce, lotus root, and some kow yuk. Oh my god, if you had never eaten kow yuk, you have not lived before. I mean sure, it's made with pork belly but don't let the name fool you! Pork belly is basically bacon! It's incredibly fatty as hell but when cooked in kow yuk, it is so mouth-watering delicious... It's made with red bean curd and taro and anise and god, I love it so much... And my parents sent me so much of it because they knew I love it to death. I also brought back more soup recipes and the makings of a nice grass tea... I made some tonight and it was yummy! I placed a whole slice of sugar (brown candy) which was a lot but it was the perfect sweetness. Next time I'll have to add more of the grass though... It wasn't grassy enough.

Today, I downloaded Angela Aki's Warning a few hours ago from svz_insanity and while I normally wouldn't put up lyrics (though I have in the past), I found a couple lines that were especially poignant. I would have transcribed the entire song but there are a couple lines that I couldn't hear very well so instead of having it incomplete, I just did the two lines that I particularly liked:

Blinded by contentment and refusing to see truth at all
Denying that I'm flying to the edge will never stop the fall

Isn't that so very true? Sometimes you can't help the fact that because things seem okay, doesn't mean they really are. I'm hoping to break this cycle as well.
