I Got My Kicks In 2006
Feckin’ A… I finally have access to the 100+ junk e-mails that have been waiting to be downloaded for the past four days. A big thank you to those Taiwanese deep sea divers working tirelessly to fix this net blackout – it’s still slow as using a Chinese typewriter, but it’s on. Oh… I’d like …
Rock My World
I woke up this morning and my Internet was acting all funny. Chinese sites would load quick as could be, but anything outside of the PRC was as slow as Mao’s second coming. Immediately my mind turned to the worst and I figured that they’d finally done it, they’d finally blocked all content that wasn’t …
Hao Hao Report
Hey, just a quick post regarding my little HHR baby… it’s now got its own domain name and has gone through some cool upgrades. If you’re not too clear on what HHR is, check out the post regarding it at the Lost Laowai blog, or just go visit the site itself at the newly set …
We All Need Christmas
It would seem that every year Christmas becomes more and more firmly embedded in the societal norms that make up China. It’s easy for us who’ve a history with the holiday to scoff at the Chinese and their feeble attempts to understand this mammoth festivity. The way they buy tiny plastic trees, recite heavily accented …
Christmas Spirit
Christmas Spirit: n. An essentially altruistic approach to oral sex adopted by ladies who believe it is better to give than to receive. ie. ‘Henry rather liked his new bird as she displayed the Christmas spirit in abundance, noshing him off three times a day and never asking for anything in return.’ That rather profane …
Road To Wedlock Part II: Barely Legal
Gawd, the amount of misplaced search engine traffic I’m going to get from that… So, it’s done. I’m – in the eyes of the People’s Republic of China – married. And here’s the kicker: how many people do you know showed up for their marriage unshowered, unshaved and not having brushed their teeth? Well, to …
Cross Your Fingers and Hope To Fly
Ok, it’s a minute before midnight and I need to be up at 5am to catch a bus to Nanjing – so this needs to be short. Mags and I are off to Nanjing tomorrow to catch a plane to Dalian. Monday morning we head down to Dalian’s marriage licensing office and hopefully settle all …
PayPerPost Update
Hey, I just wanted to do a quick update on the PayPerPost situation. I've been trying out the PPP program for about a month and a half now, and it seems pretty legit. You may have noticed I've been selective of what I post about – as per my initial thoughts for using this program …
Live Free Or Die Hard: Asian Women in Hollywood
Hell ya! For any that don’t want to wait and watch that … that is the teaser trailer for Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard. It makes me excited in ways that Maggie should be jealous of. Die Hard is an institution for any of us kids that grew up spouting off John …
Fwd This!
Alright, I like a funny forward as much as the next guy. I got this one this morning and loved it. However, what I cannot understand is how, after a decade of being online in some way, people can still be forwarding fucking chain letters. I should apologize to some of my friends, I am …
