I wish talk Chinese very unmistaken
So, on the advice of a new friend -- and because I constantly write little narratives in my head about my daily life to keep from suffering utter nervous collapse and ending up huddled in a corner somewhere, forming characters out of fragments of half-eaten jiaozi -- I've decided to start blogging about my Chinese goings on.

After a whole day of seeing not so much as a whisker of the little guy, I was beginning to think I had hallucinated the whole thing. But a few minutes ago the bunny came hippity- ( Read more... ) -
Perfume
I'm obsessively searching for the perfect perfume. This particular fixation has hit me before, but I tend to get over it quickly, because A., I hate spending money on myself, and B., most perfumes that you can easily buy in stores just don't smell very good to me. Also, I have very specific criteria for Things I Would Enjoy Smelling Like and Things ( Read more... )
