I finally changed my dumb icon! I hate this sort of thing and don't care, so finding the motivation was definitely impressive.
I had two things I wanted to post about that have been bugging me lately, but I honestly can't remember. When I got home from work today, I went to have a lie down and read and ended up falling asleep. I HATE naps and never ( Read more... ) -

Obviously, posting regularly is not destined to be. I just can't be bothered with putting the proxy on and dealing with the molasses slow connection times.
School is back in session, which is good and bad. I mean, anytime a person has to return to work after being paid to sit around doing nothing is going to be bad, but on the other hand, I'm much ( Read more... ) -
Olympic wrapup
So the games are ending, and we're leaving for the Philippines on a 1pm flight to enjoy a week of lying on the beach and lazing in Boracay. I can't say, in honesty, that I'm sad to say bye to the games, but it will be strange. For the entire year I've lived here it's all anyone has talked about, so what comes next ( Read more... ) -

Oh my god. Just returned from seeing Usain Bolt run the 200. I thought his 200 was badass but this?? Holy mother of god, it was incredible. If his body can do this, just think of what any of us could do if we tried? Was the most amazing thing I have ever seen a human being accomplish in my entire life. Respect! -

Well la dee da, aren't I just the worst ever at internet journaling? In fairness, the fact that I have to run a stupid proxy to see LiveJournal is a pretty big deterrant. And I'm really busy and important. Oh, and lazy ( Read more... ) -

I'm home in Beijing from Africa. Honestly, if it weren't for Jason being here, I don't think I would have come back. I like China loads and loads, but I loved everything about Africa. When can I go back ( Read more... ) -

We're leaving for the airport in 5 hours. Jason is dropped me off, naturally. I need someone to take my coat for me! I'll be in Mozambique for 10 days, Namibia for 6 days after that and then Zambia/Zimbabwe. I'll be back in China at the end of February. Happy Spring Festival to all! -
i hate the moscow of the east. sort of.
I've been traveling a lot for my side gig, which has been good and bad. The good involves staying in five star hotels with a generous per diem, thereby getting to use a fancy pants gym, lovely bathtubs, cable television and room service on someone else's company dime. The bad is the occasional feeling of homicide the work brings out in me and ( Read more... )
