First off, I had an incredible weekend.

On Friday, I went out with my good friend Leslie. We got manicures, then had dinner at a nearby newly-opened Mexican restaurant (that does takeaway and the owner's English is fantastic because he studied in Melbourne), after which we went to Sanlitun to watch the football. With the Netherlands, it had the ( Read more... )

Jesus, you guys, what HAVEN'T I done in the last two weeks ( Read more... )

It's time for a good old-fashioned list of stuff I've done!

1. Went to Hebei province for work. It had to do with kindergartens, and we met lots of government officials and education types, but the thing I couldn't get out of my mind was the name of the city was Handan. If you emphasize the first 'n' too much it almost sounds like Hanadan. Yep, I ( Read more... )

So, standing around outside the Australian Embassy for forty-five minutes this morning PROBABLY didn't help my cold, but I actually feel fine. Better than I did last night.

Some follow-up from last week's post first!

1) Livejournal in China is being a dick. Its foot has sunk even further into the grave, stripping ALL formatting from default pages and taking FOREVER to load properly. It's a bitch. So... hence the lack of comments/posts/general activity lately.

2) A family friend of mine and ghostygloom recently had a baby. I found out on facebook a few months ago, ( Read more... )

IT IS A GOOD MORNING when you get to work to find that one of your favorite Japanese idols is going to take his clothes off for the camera. TMI (Hannah that means you!), but as someone who features A LOT AND BY A LOT I MEAN ALL THE TIME in my sexytimes fantasies this is basically the best thing ever. I am a little annoyed that there is no girl ( ( Read more... )
