the new heavens and the new earth(s)
Posted in Uncategorized on Nov 4th, 2007
during the week meena and i have a policy of only watching/listening to things in the local language to help out with our mandarin study (which we more or less follow), but on our day off we like to watch some tv shows from the states or listen to news podcasts. this morning we [...]
reborn in wordpress
Posted in Uncategorized on Nov 2nd, 2007
well, after over half a year of being in a coma, our blog has come back to life. i decided to go with wordpress since it’ll be a lot user friendly for post entry compared to the previous engine, b2evolution. the bummer is that i’ve tried a few ways to move from the [...]

today is the end of the new year celebration, which is marked by the lantern festival. we didn’t celebrate it this year, or much of the new year holiday since most of our local friends are of a different culture and thus also don’t celebrate chinese new year (this may sound confusing, but we [...]
from the beach back to the snow
Posted in Uncategorized on Mar 1st, 2007
i know this is the most pitifully updated blog i know (except for jim’s), but i’m really going to make an effort to post more often from now on. that’s enough for guilt.
we recently returned from a vacation in thailand that was really relaxing (check out the beach shot from our hotel window) and [...]

last week it finally snowed for the first time this year. i say “finally” because usually the first snow would have come about 1 month ago. it made up for the lack, with about 3 inches the first day, and then snowing non-stop for another 2 days. it’s also been really foggy, [...]

some friends of mine in the states constantly mention this guy, sufjan stevens, on their blog (thanks wagens), so i figured i would give him a listen. after listening to his song “sister winter“, it was stuck in my head for entire day. there’s quite a few free downloads out there, which you [...]
when the forecast calls for smoke…
Posted in Uncategorized on Nov 21st, 2006
lately, the weatherchannel has aptly described the forecast for much of our day as “smoke”. it’s pretty hazy these days (probably from the coal furnaces all kicked on), so we miss the the blue skies from the summer time. my tutor borrowed my camera, but once i get it back, i’ll take a [...]
hey, 98.6, it’s good to have you back again
Posted in Uncategorized on Nov 19th, 2006
for the last week, i’ve been stuck in bed or on the couch with the next chinese influenza-superbug. seriously, i haven’t been that sick since high school, fever and diarrhea for 7 days straight. it felt great to get out of the apartment, though the temperatures are about 10 degrees lower than a [...]
nothing good on
Posted in Uncategorized on Oct 26th, 2006
yes, it has been eons since my last post, but i am finished with the hiatus and have lots of good stuff to share from over the past couple months. since it’s late, i thought i would start with something quick and somewhat amusing. a friend recently let me know about a service [...]
