My apartment is fully moved in now. I've got some crazy plans about making a platform out on one of the balconies so when you sit you're at window level with some afgan pillows and such - a real love nest. I want to paint a bunch of psychedelic paintings and put them all over the house with great big 60's bubble letters that say HATE or FEAR. I ( Read more... )

Ok so Bush is the president....again. I think that it's safe to say that 51% of the American population are retarded. It's bloody doublethink for Chrissakes... doesn't anyone know this? Do you enjoy throwing your money into a fatalistic machine gradually pushing it's way toward a downfall not unlike Rome or England's eventual end? I feel as ( Read more... )

When Kevin and Vivian got married, I bought a tailored suit and combed my hair all nicelike. I got such a positive response from this that I started dressing and acting like this all the time. This is my latest schtick. I've come to realize that, if you look rich, people treat you better; and if you're a skilled conversationalist as I am, actual ( Read more... )

So my fast paid off. On my third day I was subsequently taken to a job interview. Because of my fine new haircut and beaming psychic energy Robert and I were immediately hired whereby quadrupling our monthly salary. Instead of just one fine pad we now have two: one in the countryside and one in the city. The apartment is the coolest; it’s a ( Read more... )

The cold is coming and I'm starting a three day (possibly more?) fast. I'm assuming that my readers are intelligent enough to know the medicinal and spiritual benefits to this activity. I'll keep you posted about the stages or feelings I go through. Normally after about the second day ketones start emerging from the throat as the oral digestive ( Read more... )

Someone sent me this. It was really invigorating ( Read more... )

I'm back in Datong. Yesterday was Bai's birthday so Robert and I made it back on a night train to be there on time. We paid 29 yuan for a standing ticket. We left at 10:40 and arrived at 6:00 in the morning. They tried not even letting us on the train at first, because of the grotesque amount of people that had already boarded with standing ( Read more... )

So things have been going well lately. Real well. After Robert arrived we have been doing massive amounts of nothing. Robert actually, has been doing a lot of sleeping. I stay up until about 5:00 in the morning so he practically wakes up when I go to sleep. I feel like partying on and he's been crashing the party with his jet lag every night ( Read more... )

First and foremost, I'd like to apologize to my legions of readers for not writing recently. I've had a wild ride. Last night, I was finally dropped off at the new school that I will be teaching at, which is a provincal university. From what I inferred from my boss's brief description I will be teaching English teachers how to teach English. I' ( Read more... )

Amir and I were on the beach at Namso lake as the sun was setting. We prepared for the cold. The water at the lake is vibrant blue like the Mediterrarean and you can see the mountains in the distance. Everything is distance ( Read more... )
