Let’s just say that I’ve been living a life of excess and sloth these past couple months without a job. Sure, it’s been nice and relaxing, but too much so. I’m bored, listless, wander around my [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2010/05/1154/feed/ 4 http://www.rah-kun.net/2010/02/stream-of-conciousness-endgame-slowboil/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2010/02/stream-of-conciousness-endgame-slowboil/#comments Fri, 05 Feb 2010 14:51:02 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=1068 It’s been a bit difficult to fire off entries lately, or at all, really. Things happen so fast here – on a daily basis, for the most part – that stopping to ruminate upon just one thing means I’m probably simultaneously leaving out three or four other things I could be writing about, or I’m [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2010/02/stream-of-conciousness-endgame-slowboil/feed/ 1 http://www.rah-kun.net/2010/01/looking-ahead/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2010/01/looking-ahead/#comments Mon, 18 Jan 2010 07:59:34 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=1061 Mein gott – two posts in a day? It’s ’bout that time… my daily routine (the one that sorta makes it difficult to write on account of every day looking kinda like the day that came before) is starting to break up a bit. Now I spend afternoons pouring over travel sites, looking for stuff to [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2010/01/looking-ahead/feed/ 0 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/12/re-what-i-probably-sound-like-to-my-students/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/12/re-what-i-probably-sound-like-to-my-students/#comments Mon, 21 Dec 2009 06:26:30 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=1010 (via boingboing, via Jos) ]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/12/re-what-i-probably-sound-like-to-my-students/feed/ 1 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/12/amazing-animation/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/12/amazing-animation/#comments Fri, 18 Dec 2009 07:15:51 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=1008 This is just too awesome to not share: ]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/12/amazing-animation/feed/ 4 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/12/this-shit-is-fucked/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/12/this-shit-is-fucked/#comments Tue, 15 Dec 2009 07:01:46 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=1006 I wish I could do this: ]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/12/this-shit-is-fucked/feed/ 0 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/12/december-teaching-and-looking-ahead/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/12/december-teaching-and-looking-ahead/#comments Wed, 02 Dec 2009 15:04:27 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=1003 Teaching. It’s… not me. I’ve thought about it for a bit – since I got here, really – and I’ve kind of come to the conclusion that I’ve got a lot of traits and skills that might make me like a teacher, but that’s not exactly my thing. My enthusiasm for the things here that [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/12/december-teaching-and-looking-ahead/feed/ 3 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/11/a-load-of-croc/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/11/a-load-of-croc/#comments Wed, 25 Nov 2009 09:44:46 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=995 Say what you will about raptors or the T-Rex, but this actually scared the pee outta me; the thought of such an animal existing: Paleontologists have discovered fossils of several crocodile species that indicate some crocs galloped upright on land, some were enormous, and some literally ate dinosaurs for breakfast. … Unlike modern crocodiles, many of these ancient [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/11/a-load-of-croc/feed/ 1 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/11/reality-check/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/11/reality-check/#comments Sun, 01 Nov 2009 11:43:47 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=949 Being low on… everything, I did a semi-major grocery run tonight. I bought: Two large bottles of juice (each will last me a week) Three large potatoes Two large onions A bag of mushrooms A hand of bananas A roll of Oreos (I’m ashamed) A bottle of Sesame Oil Six servings of milk Total cost: 47.30 RMB, or roughly, 6.90 USD.

I had my first professional hair cut in 10 years. Before, I’d just have someone grab the bottom of my ponytail and hack the damned thing off with a pair of regular office scissors. Today, I went out and spent a cool 21 yuan (about 4 dollars) in a [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/09/cascade-success/feed/ 2
