The Sex Is Back: Return of Chinabounder

Hey, I meant to make mention of a new post I did over at Lost Laowai earlier this week… but I forgot… but anyway… here’s a sample: Anyone active in the China blogsphere back in August surely remembers Chinabounder and his rather conspicuous blog “Sex And Shanghai“. The blog received some rather heated attention (making …

So Gay

Thanks for The Peking Duck pointing me to this link before it was too late. I had no idea I was at such a great risk of becoming gay! I was ill-informed about the evils lurking in my iPod – iGay more like it! One of the most dangerous ways homosexuality invades family life is …

All Moved In…

…and back online! The thing I hate most about moving, even more than the physics-defying process of packing and the bleach-burned skin from cleaning, is the re-setting up of Internet. This move is the fifth place I’ve lived in China, and the fifth time I’ve had had to install, transfer or otherwise pray for a …

Road To Wedlock IV: Lord of the Rings!

They’ve arrived! The wedding rings are in-hand (but will have to wait 2 more weeks to settle on fingers). We ordered the rings online via Gillett’s Jewellers – a company out of Australia that has a very slick Website with loads of helpful information regarding rings, wedding rings, different metals, various gems, etc. We decided …

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. Today marks the 30-day count-down until Maggie and I officially become husband and wife (though we’ve been doing a trial run since getting the license in December). …

MyChinaStart.com: A Good Place To Start

I was first introduced to MyChinaStart.com about a month ago by my buddy fiLi (his Chinalyst blog aggregator was interviewed on MyChinaStart). Then, today I heard from (the recently repatriated) Meg at Violet Eclipse that there was a PayPerPost opportunity related to it. The opportunity is done, so I wont get the offered $5.50 for …

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 …
