places

The funny thing about my house is that it’s beginning to smell more and more like the houses I remember growing up in Taiwan. This is a new phenomenon.

Some woman got a hold of my checking account number and paid off a bunch of her bills, including some hefty cable bills, with my money. One of the charges was in the form of a check; the other two were payments directly from my checking account. I’ve called my bank to get the process [...]
