Human pin cushion

These are my knees one hour ago undergoing some kind of accupuncture/moxibustion/e-stim procedure.  This is my first experience with accupuncture of any kind.  When the doctor was putting in the needles I had a tingling surge in my lower abdomen, which might have just been adrenaline because someone was putting needles in my leg.

New apartment

My first apartment for me and me alone.  It's about 500 sf, has marble and hardwood floors and is on the 6th floor of an 8 floor walk up in an older established neighborhood.  Best of all, it's a 5 minute walk to work. I'll post more photos once I'm settled and at a time when I'm not supposed to be working.

I'm writing this entry to test the blog by mail function.  If this works I expect to make more frequent submissions because I will be able to leap the Chinese firewall with greater ease.
