My English has degraded so far as to disavail me of decent title-puns

But it’s okay, I only have a short update.
Today, for dinner (a second dinner, mind you), I managed to accidentally eat an eyeball, and I tried both frog legs (they were good) and turtle (there are some lines that shouldn’t be crossed).
I maintain, though, I don’t like to eat things that look like themselves. Frog [...]

A bad time…

Posted by Jayml on January 23, 2010 at 7:22 am | Filled Under: China, Travelogue, Xiangfan| 1 comment

Augh… something is seriously not okay with my insides. Something that started off feeling like indigestion and turned, very rapidly, into traveler’s stomach hit me hard on Sunday night after a very long, bad weekend. I slept it off through Monday and Tuesday and it was just about getting back to normal, when suddenly, this [...]

Holiday Rush

Happy New Year from 13 hours in the future (by the EST reckoning, which I now tend to refer to as the “Shire reckoning” for ha has).
Today has stacked up to be one of the more ironic New Year’s I’ve experienced on record. As some of you may remember, I have made many posts, especially [...]

Whirlwind Days: Concerts, New Arrivals, and Bills

Posted by Jayml on November 25, 2009 at 12:27 pm | Filled Under: China, Travelogue, Xiangfan| 4 comments

It’s been a nutty week or two here, time seems to be flooding by both quickly and slowly. I tell people, “I’m two minds, really, one part of me loves it here and wouldn’t mind staying a bit longer, the other part really misses Kelly and wants to be back with her.” Well, both halves [...]

Updates on Cool Things

It’s always worrisome when I blow my nose and huge blood clot comes flying out with the excess.* It’s like a projectile present straight from the brain.
I skipped my promo class bullshit today because I was in no condition to perform the singing et dancing routine they have me do before three classes of 60 [...]

Fever Dreams, Zhongguo Style

Ugh. I’m pretty sick (see last post, beer related illness). I just woke up a couple minutes ago thinking that it was at least 6 AM after tossing and turning for what felt like all night. Then I discover that it’s actually 3 AM. I have a public demo class tomorrow afternoon, which is the [...]

Good prizes, bad prizes, and a bus.

If there’s any one thing that’s happened to me in China so far that has made the entire experience worth it, it’s been the connection I’ve managed to forge with this family:

Post Wuhan Preface

Posted by Jayml on October 6, 2009 at 1:16 am | Filled Under: Travelogue, Wuhan| 2 comments

I just gotta get this out of my system before I can give a decent summary of the Wuhan trip. You have to know what I was pretty certain I knew what I was getting into – the details were not there before this trip started, but the otherwise feeling of uncertainty and “Nah, I’m [...]

Towards Wuhan

Posted by Jayml on October 3, 2009 at 5:53 am | Filled Under: China, Travelogue, Xiangfan| 1 comment

I leave for Wuhan in a couple hours – Victor will be swinging by my place at 6:30 to collect me, then we’ll be hustling off via train. I’m not sure where in Wuhan we’re going, or what I’ll be doing, or how I’ll be doing it – I’m sorta just going along for the [...]
