tanithryudoSpent most of today at my uncle's place. They have net access, which allowed me to finally log online and relieve some of my net-withdrawal.
I took the chance to post the last few entries I kept, and to follow up on a few forums. Also replied to the return email from work to update my manager on the current status of my passport/VISA issue. (As an addendum to that, this morning we also dropped by the local police station in Nanjing to get our proof of temporary residence papers, which are yet another stp needed after we get our replacement passports and before we can get our replacement VISA.)
We had lunch & dinner at their place also. A little before dinner, my cousin took me out to buy some DVD's. There was one show I wanted to get this time around but couldn't find - 泪痕剑. Looks like eMule may be my only solution for that one. (There's also another show playing right now with the same actor in it - 魔幻手机, but I don't think that's even available on DVD yet.)
Also, we played around with the Zen Creative (4 GB) that I got my cousin as a gift this time. Uploaded a few songs that I had on my portable hard drive that he liked by just drag 'n dropping. Also tried to upload a video (avi) but we couldn't get it to play. Not sure if it was because of the file format or because of the dimensions of the movie. Unfortunately, the user guide is located on the software installation CD and I didn't bring my portable CD drive along.
Anyway, this was a fairly productive day for me. And best of all, Murphy finally gave me a day off. Now if only this will last...
