A Travelogue and (occasional) Sketchblog
[Written at 11:30 PM, May 15th]
This is pretty much the earliest I’ve been to bed in… a long time. 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 [...]
I’ve got a pretty serious backlog of photos from my phone. They stretch back to the winter and end with a crop of photos of “The General,” a beautiful, white, 4 year old Samoyed I walked around the city (at times, he walked me, to be honest). Here’s a dump.
It has been a pretty quiet month, punctuated by random instances and occasions. Little to report on other than the occasional party with the girls from work, or my trip to Wuhan to see a friend, or the flood in my apartment last night.
Actually, that last one was pretty good. I went to go wash [...]

And, as an addendum to the scant list of my daily activities, I do have a shortlist of stuff I’m working on for before I come home.
Almost a full month since my last update. There’s a good reason for that – life’s pretty relaxed and uneventful lately. My days consist of some variation on the following:
Wake up.
Shower (must shower).
Game/Eat/Draw (in a variety of combinations, configurations, and amounts).
Dinner.
Game/Draw (mostly game, admittedly).
Sleep.
It’s utterly slothful and wasteful, I know, but in the seams I [...]
So here I am, finally in China. Sounds like a strange sentiment for someone who’s been living in the country for, already, the better part of a year, but it’s finally happened, along with much else since my last post.
The last stretch of my employment at Aston were a bit of a rush. The last [...]
I get listless at the end of things. I enter into a state of fugue a little earlier than I’d wish for, otherwise. I find myself with an overriding sense of there being little point to starting new projects on account of time or logistics; as far as I can see, I’ll just be packing [...]
Just got back from something that was simultaneously the coolest and coldest things I’ve ever done – Spring Festival out in the boonies, a few hours outside of Xiangfan. During one of the coldest weeks of the season thus far.
There’s a lot to digest – both literally and figuratively – though I will say this: [...]

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 [...]
