I have my replacement power adapter now! (And the coats and parcel things – thank you very much Mom!) This means I don’t have to go back to the office every time I want to use the computer now, and hopefully I can start posting here more regularly again. The revival will have to wait a [...] This blog isn’t dead, I promise. The combination of dead laptop (which makes it inconvenient to come here to the office to post) and additional writing work from NaNoWriMo just crowded out the time it took to write magnum opus posts all the time – and while I could twitter away various opinions and [...] My laptop’s power adapter kicked the bucket yesterday. When I got back from Hong Kong and plugged it in, it started sparking and smelled like burnt silicon. I disconnected it before it could erupt in flames but as of now, I can’t recharge my laptop so postings and word from me will get [...] and comes from the depths of my laptop’s innards. HDD Health warning! Well that is twice as hot as it is here in Shenzhen…I suppose I should go into full backup recovery mode. In case you don’t hear from me for a few days, that means [...] Last week I got two small, baby turtles from a street vendor. Their names have alternated from “Emeril and Dolce” to “Elmo and Remington” to “Bebop and Rocksteady” (follow the link if you are not of my generation/are Chinese) and are currently “red turtle” and “green turtle.” They are sleepy things, usually sitting [...] Ignore the post right below this (unless you really like microbiology and critical theory); I’m moving some of the static pages containing essays and miscellaneous pieces that are supposed to go under “Piecemeal Papers and Projects” into dynamic pages so I can attach more information to them behind the scenes. If you’re interested more [...] One of the biggest complaints of previous Asian-American teachers in China that I have heard of is that we have a relatively difficult time securing extra-legal (to use a euphemism) employment that most other foreign teachers enjoy. That is, because of the technical restrictions on our visas, it is illegal for us to teach [...] Just walked back into the door from Hong Kong. A lot of impressions, but I think I’ll save them for family conversation and my book. Later I’ll post pictures, though. Baby Aidan is very cute! Blogged out for a bit. I’m just taking things as they come and going along with the flow…it’s nice. I’ll start writing again in a few days or whenever the mood strikes me again. For now, I want to try to focus on just living and studying and practicing and such. I installed a tool last week that will keep track of blog metrics such as how many visits I get in a day, which posts are the most popular, and the like. I have not found much practical use for it, but it’s been fun to obsess over. So far, in the six [...] |
