    It's after the holidays and I'm busted....

    ...that means lots of cheap Chinese for lunch this week until payday.

    Don't let unexpected situation throw you.

    A double fortune!

    Obviously not cut properly so I got two in one.

    A new outlook brightens your image and brings new friends.

    A new romance is in the future.

    wait....

    Always the beautiful answer who asks a more beautiful question
    That's not a fortune cookie fortune.

    That's a quote from e. e. cummings.

    I like this one

    Lies and sorrow may float through the air, but truth and happiness live inside yourself
    I just searched this one too, thinking it might be a plagiarized quote like the one above. I found a bunch of fortune cookie wisdom blogs. That has been my intention with this. That and I've always fantasized about being a fortune cookie fortune writer.

    yesterday's lunch

    Face facts with dignity
    Eerily ominous given my life right now. It's always a little disturbing when a fortune actually seems to hit the mark.

    I would be more impressed with this one without the exclamation point.

    A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner!
    Actually not many fortunes have exclamation points, so I guess it's permissible.

    I got one in my pocket from last week. It says:
    "you will always get by with your charm and personality"
    Get by what? I wondered.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    Fortune cookies is one of my favorite eatable in snacks... I always find a inspirational message from it.. This message is always worth at that situation of time...I think these cookies give me write lesson to handle that situation at that time..

    Another one on happiness

    Happiness isn't in having what you want but rather in wanting what you have.
    My local cheap Chinese place stopped giving me fortune cookies. I think they were only giving them to laowai for while, or at least, this one new waiter was doing that. I wasn't sure if I should be flattered by that or not. Anyway, they started giving them to me again. Haven't seen that new waiter. Maybe he moved on.

    A little advice from a cookie

    With TCEC&KFTCD this weekend, I'm short on time for lunch with all that needs to happen in the next few days, so I figured I'd hit up my local Chinese joint as they are super fast. They put in my order as soon as I walk in the door. Plus I figured I'd get a little advice from my fortune cookie. So what did I draw?

    It's a good thing that life is not as serious as it seems to the waiter.

    This one has been sitting in my cup container in my car....

    ...just waiting for me to get around to posting it here.

    What's up with my local Chinese joint and their cookies?

    Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide
    That's not a fortune cookie fortune.

    That's a quote from Napoleon Bonaparte

    Well, this doesn't work for me at all.

    I hear and I forget. I see and I remember.
    I'm just about to head out to Chicago for the Grateful Dead's Fare Thee Well shows (I used to work for the band, remember?) so this just doesn't apply right now. Besides, it's a quote that is attributed to Confucius and the fortune dropped the final and most important final sentence. Confucius say "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand."
