City Weekend is a free publication focused on the expat community in China with specific city editions, including Shanghai. The magazine has great hip features, and an entertainment directory that can keep anyone up to date on the hippest trends and hottest spots in the city.
Being neither hip, nor hot, and not having the […]

NPR has a feature on Miriam Makeba. I love that I can listen to NPR pieces from China online. She is a fascinating singer with a new album out who hates being referred to as “the click click girl.” Her talk about growth as an artist and discovering her role allowing her […]

I checked these guys out on BBC Radio 6’s album of the day. All I can really say is “go Norway” for producing so much music I want to get my hands on.
I will certainly get my hands on this album as soon as I have the ability to, and for now, I will […]

Last month my high school students inadvertently made a really powerful statement about what peace is. Keep in mind these are sixteen year old Shanghaiese kids who are overwhelmingly supplied with everyting they could ever want while actually working very little. There are exceptions, to be sure, but I’m just trying to give a […]

I’ve just been a bookworm of late. Yesterday I finished reading Cory Doctorow’s Eastern Standard Tribe. It was a fun romp, and as a lightweight it’s no wonder I finished reading it so soon.
The idea of a troupe of people around the world working on a certain homeland’s sleep schedule doesn’t surprise me […]

The 2004 Cartoonist’s Choice Awards are certainly exciting to me. Many of my regular reads are up there on the list. Just think, this time next year, with my webcomic having been running for months, I will be able to vote too! Excellent.
This year, I am happy to sit back and see […]

I have come to realize that I am a sarcastic, dry-witted, cynical, yet passionate person. I try to hide behind the guise of being a realist, but in candid moments I know i’s just a ruse to keep from getting hurt by folks who aren’t somilarly motivated and are far beyond convincing.
One of these […]

The reason I picked up Hunting Unicorns is that it reminded me of Ruth Ozeki for some weird reason. Interestingly enough, inside the back cover is an ad for a Ruth Ozeki book. I have a fascination with contemporary British writing. Look at my list of favorite writers, and the number […]

Ozy and Millie’s June 17 strip is just brilliant. I am highly enjoying Millicent’s search for evil. The idea that it might reside in Ozy is just too funny.

I have several friends on livejournal and would love to use a friends page there, but I just hadn’t had the scope of imagination to think what in the world I would do with another journal.
Then I had an idea. I don’t write nearly enough chinese, so why not use this as an […]
