Not that I didn’t bring it on myself knowingly coming to a relatively remote city. Nevertheless, the circumstances that keep getting in my way are particularly… I don’t know, it’s like someone’s actively seeking to thwart me. I’ve been pretty down the last couple of days – since my couchsurfer [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/10/this-god-damn-country/feed/ 1 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/10/wuhan-pictures-ive-got-no-clever-title-for-you-tonight/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/10/wuhan-pictures-ive-got-no-clever-title-for-you-tonight/#comments Wed, 07 Oct 2009 12:38:55 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=833 Strawberry/Grape/Cherry/Tomato juice. The jury’s still out on this one. I’m a bit wiped out today, so I can’t talk in depth about the stuff I saw in Wuhan. My picture captions (memories on demand!) will have to do for now. This week? Well, it’s gonna suck until its over, and then a new set of suck [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/10/wuhan-pictures-ive-got-no-clever-title-for-you-tonight/feed/ 0 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/09/apartment-pictures-riding-the-wave/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/09/apartment-pictures-riding-the-wave/#comments Sun, 06 Sep 2009 16:08:41 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=762 For simplicity’s sake, this is a two part post. First, as promised – here are some photos of my “new” apartment. New, of course, when I took these pictures several weeks ago. And by several weeks, I mean about three weeks ago, almost. And along with that, the view from my window: (and on a rare, clear day:) And, [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/09/apartment-pictures-riding-the-wave/feed/ 8 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/08/triumph/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/08/triumph/#comments Thu, 20 Aug 2009 13:14:50 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=680 So here I am, five weeks later, in my apartment. More to come soon. I am exhausted. ]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/08/triumph/feed/ 3 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/08/the-countdown-rebegins/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/08/the-countdown-rebegins/#comments Wed, 19 Aug 2009 00:11:56 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=676 So I’ve moved into the position where counting down the hours until I move into my apartment is not an unwieldy, triple-digit task, but actually somewhere under 36 hours. Of course, moving closer and closer to moving-in time over the last couple of weeks has put me into that frustrated, impatience funk, making the necessities [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/08/the-countdown-rebegins/feed/ 0 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/08/gays-and-ukrainians-catholics-and-crayfish/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/08/gays-and-ukrainians-catholics-and-crayfish/#comments Thu, 06 Aug 2009 09:35:19 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=654 [written at 2:12 PM, August 6th] It’s been a damn strange last few days, let me tell you. Without internet (as I write this), I can’t remember when the last time I wrote was – maybe four, five days ago – but I’ve had a couple good reasons, my schedule included. For one, these last three [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/08/gays-and-ukrainians-catholics-and-crayfish/feed/ 2 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/08/end-radio-silence/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/08/end-radio-silence/#comments Tue, 04 Aug 2009 23:38:47 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=651 It’s been a couple days since I’ve put up an update, and there are various reasons for that. This, here, is not yet an update, but more of a prelude as to what’s coming. Today’s the butt-end of a tripleheaded class schedule – three days of class in a row. I’m exhausted, burnt out, and I [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/08/end-radio-silence/feed/ 0 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/ennui-part-18/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/ennui-part-18/#comments Fri, 31 Jul 2009 07:15:11 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=644 [written at 1:52 PM, July 31st] After last night’s little adventure and considering the weather today (it’s been raining consistently since I woke up around 7:30), I haven’t really been keen on going out anywhere. I had a jolt of excitement for a short hour or two earlier where I put my headphones on and did [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/ennui-part-18/feed/ 2 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/re-the-management/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/re-the-management/#comments Fri, 31 Jul 2009 07:12:36 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=641 [written at 8 AM, July 31st] This is rough. I’m trapped in a foreign country where the only people who speak my language are either leaving in two weeks or… lascivious, philandering, lecherous, boozehounds. I woke up especially depressed this morning – here’s my story! When I first arrived, as some may remember, my manager was completely [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/re-the-management/feed/ 0 http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/the-last-thing-i-needed/ http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/the-last-thing-i-needed/#comments Mon, 27 Jul 2009 04:47:22 +0000 Jayml http://www.rah-kun.net/?p=622 So that horrible mood I was in yesterday on account of feeling isolated, lonely, and bereft, as well as feeling quite like the dictionary definition of the term “jerked-around” has changed. It has, over the course of sleeping last night, metastasized into a full blown, inky, sticky depression. Again, I think that if my circumstances were [...]]]> http://www.rah-kun.net/2009/07/the-last-thing-i-needed/feed/ 0
