我没有死!

我已经有很长时间没写中文blog了,但不是因为不想写。虽然换blog软件的过程相当顺利,但是留言功能出问题了。我一直想处理这个问题,但找不到问题的来源。今天终于修好了所以我可以恢复写这个blog。

我9月5日去华师大注册,应该是9月12日开始上课

最后我给大家看一个笑话。这是”samueldl”跟我分享的。

男人最让女人感动的一句粗话

赵先生一早起来就头痛的要死…… 因为他前一天晚上喝的烂醉回家! 他强迫自己把疲惫不堪的眼睛睁开。睁开眼后竟然看到床头上放了一杯水跟几颗头痛药,然后坐起身后又看到了他的衣服已经烫好、叠好在床边。因为一起床就看到这几样反常的事,所以他决定要起身看一看房子其它的地方有没有什么奇怪的事他把几颗头痛药吃了。 吃的时候突然发现药下有一张纸条,纸条上写着……

“亲爱的,我出去买菜了,你的早餐我已经做好放在餐桌上~ 趁热吃吧~爱你喔~”

赵先生一头雾水的走进了厨房,然后就真的看到了热腾腾的早餐在桌上还有当天的早报。 他看着坐在餐桌吃早餐的儿子问……

“儿子啊~昨天到底发生了什么事?”

赵先生的儿子回答:

“嗯……你凌晨三点跌跌撞撞,大吼大叫的回了家,把几个家俱给打坏踹坏。然后又很聪明的在走廊上撞了墙壁几下,送给自己一个黑眼圈!”

赵先生越来越不明白的又问了儿子:

“那为什么家里给打扫的那么干净然后你妈又给我做了热腾腾的早餐给我吃呢 ?!”

儿子恍然大悟的说:

“喔~ 你是在问那个喔~~ 妈昨天看到你醉死的回家,一肚子火的把你拉到房间里, 然后想把你脏衣服换掉,结果在脱你裤子的时候你骂了她一句 ‘喂~小姐~你滚远一点~我已经结婚了~‘”

Chunky Salsa Sinosplice

I got some good feedback on my new layouts, including a request for a Chunky Salsa layout by one Jamie Doom. Greg offered zealous support for this idea. I don’t like to let down friends, so I gave it some serious thought. Jamie then proceeded to create a Chunky Salsa “layout” on his own blog.

Jamie is a man of many talents, but I am sad to say that Chunky Salsa design skillz is just not one …

Supergirl = Supercrap

So there’s this show called 超级女声 which the Chinese abbreviate to 超女 and most people call “Supergirl” in English. (Danwei.org, on the other hand, calls it Super Voice Girls.) The show is a lot like American idol. This season it has been immensely popular all over mainland China. Viewers can vote for their favorites by text messaging with their cell phones. This past Friday was the final installment. A huge proportion of China’s TV-watching masses were tuned in.

The New Layout

I am finally finished tweaking the new layout. This is it. In a nutshell, the changes are:

  • Simpler. Fewer images.
  • 2 columns instead of 3. The main column is now wider.
  • Color options! (For future reference, the style switcher is at the bottom of the right column.)

The four styles you have to choose from (click them!) are:

  1. Classic Green (I couldn’t let it go…)
    Style-1
  2. Faded Gator (Homage to my alma mater, I guess?)
    Style-2
  3. Toothpaste on Chocolate
    Style-6
  4. Embers
    Embers

The style …

Retiring this Layout

I’ve been using this blog layout for some time now, and it’s comfortable. I’ve gotten some complaints about the green, but for the most part I ignore them. It’s true that this color doesn’t look good on some people’s monitors, but it looks good on my monitor, and I like it. However, the reasons to change my layout are starting to pile up, so I finally did a redesign, keeping the elements of this design that I like. The new …

Changchun: 10 Images

Happy Ridin' The Street Food Gourmets Street Food Menu Meat on a stick (S)

  1. A child dancing around a supermarket parking lot, overjoyed to be deemed worthy of photography.

  2. I think I ruined all the fun of that ride for the kid. (Sorry, kid!)

  3. The ZUCC gang never shies away from street food.

  4. Have a closer look at that menu. Yes, that’s right: 5 sticks of meat for 1 RMB! What’s that, you say? You’re hungry for bull testicles too? Will that be large (10 RMB), or small (5 RMB)? If you’re low on

Wedding in Changchun

I just attended my friend John’s wedding over the weekend, in Changchun, China. Changchun is pretty far north. It’s north of North Korea, and probably the farthest north I’ve ever been in China. It was a great time to be there; I got to trade Shanghai’s sweltering August heat for Changchun’s crisp early autumn weather. Not a bad deal.

The wedding was nice. It was the first Chinese-style wedding I’d been to for one of my non-Chinese friends. Despite …

The Curse of Oral-B

I’m greeted by this face when I ride the elevator in my building now.

Oral-B

Oh, man, he just looks so happy about that toothbrush. I just really want to smack him.

This guy is 言承旭 (“Jerry” Yan), AKA “the old one” in F4 and the Taiwanese series Meteor Garden.

I think Oral-B’s Chinese name is kind of funny: 欧乐-B. 欧 is commonly used to mean “Europe” and 乐 means something like “joy.”…

Travel and Moving

The other day I had this IM conversation with a friend:

没有空: you got plans for [the October holiday] week?

John: I was thinking of going to Beijing

没有空: 哦。 [Oh.]

John: You ever do any traveling around China? No interest?

没有空: 我反对旅游。太费力,太费钱,太麻烦。 [I'm against travel. It's a waste of energy and money, and it's too much hassle.]

John: you sure you belong outside the USA?

没有空: there’s a difference between moving someplace and staying for a while, which I’ve

Return of Doom

Jamie Doom is back in the game. He recently started updating his long-neglected weblog Doom in China (even though he’s not in China right now). Now his weblog is called “Doom in….” Presumably his weblog will be called “Doom in… China” when he moves back to China.

He kicked off his return to blogging with an entry about… me! Well, in part, at least. (Here’s my my version of that night.)

You’ll also be entertained by his story entitled …
