Road To Wedlock Part I: I Swear I’m Not Married

Alright, I've started a new category here at Adventures of the Humanaught. The Road to Wedlock category will chronicle my journey towards marriage, in hopes that it might help any other poor saps looking for information on this rather complicated process. This category should cover the gambit from first kisses to "æˆ‘æ„¿æ„s"… So, I just …

How Do You Wrap “It’s The Thought That Counts”?

I've been asked a few times by the folks back home if China celebrates Christmas. Aside from the rather odd phrasing of the question (how does a country celebrate anything?) I'd have to say no.

Commie Copies Clutter Canada

I never said I wasn't a sucker for illiterations. So, with wedding looming, it's a bit ridiculous to think that the topic of babies and such hasn't been breached with Maggie, rather 'by' Maggie.

They're the guys that can do all …

Joining the Economixer

Alright, when it comes to economics (and a rather large handful of other things), I'm a complete idiot. Aside from some high school accounting classes, basic current awareness classes in college and a general understanding of the world, I've really not the first clue of the differences between Hong Kong and the place where I …

Linktastic III

Well, here it is, LINKtastic III. My semi-frequent solution to not having time to post. Sinocidal.com: I've been looking to post about this site since they announced its creation a couple weeks back, but wanted to see it for myself first. Sadly, due to what seems to be angering the Olympic Powers with a now-taken-down …
