Here's an interesting article on the connection between mind/body health. 

 

Mike treated to a China Super Buffet tonight, and for some reason I overate.  Now I'm tired and bloated.  Oh well, my medical diary for NFO needed more than the minor scrape from last week's bike spill anyway.  I knew when I should stop, yet I had two more plates after that.  I think it was partly because some of their food was so bad, I wanted to keep trying other foods to cover the bad food's taste.  All of the dough products were undercooked, from the pizza to the sugar-coated doughnuts.  Some things like the pineapple chunks were soaked in flavours for which my American tastebuds just didn't care at all.  And yet, all of their meats and vegetables were cooked very well.  Go figure.

 

I'm enjoying my introduction to the Second World.  It's a well crafted story.  The world is deeply layered; characters are well thought out and given true motivations, thoughts, and actions; we are introduced to each new idea with enough time to absorb it, with the next new idea introduced before our attention lapses; and overall I find myself having a hard time ending break and lunch times on time while reading this.  That's probably why I'm so disappointed when a slight editing mistake rears its ugly head.  Whoever edited this book didn't do a very careful job of it.  Hopefully future printings will not suffer this fate.  Regardless, I highly recommend that all of my friends go buy fifty copies of this book.  Well, not each of them.  Well, not unless they can somehow afford it.  You know what I mean.
