Movin’ and Shakin’

I’m moving apartments tomorrow. This may seem a little sudden, given my habit of discussing virtually every small thing that happens in my life on here. And well, it is sudden. Maggie and I have been considering getting a better apartment since I visited a friend’s place in town for a BBQ back in September. …

Mao E’Gao

Apparently there’s an “artistic” (expect a lot of bunny-eared quotes in this post) revolution taking over the Chinese Internet – and I’ve indirectly been a) promoting it, and b) adding to it. Crap. TaiTai over at Sinocidal pointed me to a horribly written piece of “journalism” from Xinhua (big surprise) that explains the “new art …

Road To Wedlock Part III: The Stag & Doe

I’m beat. Not bested, but completely exhausted. I’ve spent most of the day, technically most of the month, arranging flights and hotels for my family’s visit next month.

Linktastic IV

Time for another edition of Linktastic. It’s tougher and tougher to list here links I think are great, when I just do that at the newly moved and renovated Hao Hao Report. However, I’ve got a couple things I think are worth checking out (and of course my usual updates about what I’ve been writing …

Jesus is Not Like Buddha

There are few things I hate more than evangelism. In fact, I would go so far as to say that much of the horrors of the world were brought on by evangelists. People feeling they are divinely propelled to ‘sell’ their ideas to save people from damnation. It kept Africans slaves (for the betterment of …

New Year’s And A Few Beers

I spent my second New Year’s Eve in China with good form last night. I’ve mentioned previously that I’ve become a bit of an isolationist in recent months and have rarely ventured out into the Suzhou social scene – quite diametrical from my previous gregariousness. It’s certainly nothing against Suzhou or its nightlife, as it …
