::: posted by Alf at 10:53:22 PM Friday, December 27, 2002 ::: I will leave for Beijing soon, so wich me luck and email me if you are there. OK, quick funny story, I went to ZhengZhou with this old artist guy to see this exibition of modern chinese art. The art was pretty good. Very romantic, all the men were rugged and heroic and the ladies were slender and elegant, but they had a certain sexuality that I thought was very modern. But we didn't stay at the show for a long time bcause their was some kind of wierd feud going on between the traditional chinese painters and the oil painters. My friend was an oil painter so we had to quickly leave the exibition. That left lots of time for shopping. First we went to McDonalds, which was kind of a nice american thing to do on chirstmas day, and I ate way to much because nobody else wanted to finish their food. Then we went shopping. My friends wife wanted to buy me a present, and since I was wearing some particularly shabby pants that day she offered to buy me new pants. Now, I hardly ever refuse a gift espiecially being the poor teacher that I am so I was like allright some new pants. Then we go to the store and the sales lady measures me, because I have no idea whatsize I am in cm. Then she goes around the store looking for my size. Now here's the funny part, (sorry not that funny), they didn't have any pants my size. In amreica I am not fat, I have a proto beer belly which I am quite proud of, but I think most americans would call me skinny. So I thought it was hilarious that they didn't have any clothes my size. I started going around the place saying "wo shi tai pang" I am too fat. ::: posted by Alf at 7:10:49 AM Monday, December 23, 2002 ::: "I am reminded myself that I should write about it soon." What the fuck is wrong with me? How can I teach english with a straight face? ::: posted by Alf at 9:59:38 PM My crazy rant about Korea wasn't so off base. They are now making more nuclear weapons. i think Kim Il Jung is way crazier than Saddam, but we should definitly not go to war unless there is an immenient nuclear strike planed. Fuck, Korea scraes the shit out of me these days. ::: posted by Alf at 9:17:56 PM Today is turning out to be pretty good. It snowed last night, when I looked outside I was put in a nice christmas mood. Tan I couldn't think of anything else to teach my class this morning so we just sang christmas songs. Then I got the niecest christmas present, my afternoon class was canceled. ke ai, Well this post is entirely to cheery, I should probably use this extra time to wrok on my exam, but I won't, I wish I hadn't learned to be such a good procastinator in college... I'm not really homesick for chrsitms but the snow is making it a little worse. There is almost to many peopl ehere asking if I am home sick. So being the contray bastard that I am, i am becoming militantly anti homesick when ever chinese people ask me about it. Went to Zheng Zhou this weekend I am reminded myself that I should write about it soon. ::: posted by Alf at 3:03:33 PM Saturday, December 21, 2002 ::: Edit: I read this post again and it is ridicoulsy incohernet, just go to the article that I linked to. and don't bother reading the post Despite all the potential problems that can come out of Iraq, I think that Bush has potentially already caused a lot more damage from his dealing with the Korean situation. Read about it here Not that the koreans are much better than bush. The north is lead by someone who is insane at least to a Mao Zedong level and the south seems to think that the north will never attack them and that the american military presence there is just there so that american soldiers will have an excuse to hook up with korean girls. The whole situation is messed up and very scary. A second korean war is horrible to imagine, much worse than a war in Iraq. This statement by the new south korean pres Roh, makes no sense ", "If the United States and North Korea start a fight, we should dissuade them." The americans would be there to protect the south koreans. You don't mediate between your assaliants and your body gaurd. As much as would like America to pull out of korea and stop spending so much money there, the fact is that NL has one of the largest armies in the world and it has shown its;ef to be very willing to use that army as a political tool. American military presence in south korea is a neccessity. At the same time it would be good if south koreans had more input into talks with north korea. ::: posted by Alf at 2:30:39 PM Intersting artile form the atlantic unbound, it argues that the way to win future elections is to get the nonvoters to vote (duh). The most intersting thing I thought was that he said that the main reason people don't vote is becasue they don't have the time. Why not make election day a national holiday? That would make everybody happy. ::: posted by Alf at 2:04:10 PM Friday, December 20, 2002 ::: Besides the fact that blogger is a bitch anybody have any gursses as to why I havn't ben posting recenttly? Maybe I have something more important to do? wink wink, nudge nudge Anyway just went to the bar over at the big university by my house and while I was watching all the fun, I starting thinking about american cultural dominence over youth cutlure. The only thing asian they did tonight was kareeokee. Besides that they had a band that dressed in hip hop style and played post punk pop (They did have a nice heavy metal style song that I think was titled "this world is horrible." The bassist was headbnging and then he jumped on the ground like a crazy man. But instead of joining in an forming a mosh pit the audience just claped, it was kind of disapointing). The other thing they had was dance music that was filled with american profanities, ("We want some pussy" and "your mother looks like a bitch" are two that immiediatly come to mind). The chinese sure do have wierd taste in dance music. Very strange and jarring sounds in it, a big contrast to their taste in pop music.... Anyway Xin Xiang looks wierd at night when it's cold and you walk home by yourself a litle tipsy. The streets are strangley wide and large construction projects loom out of the mist like something out of blade runner.... ::: posted by Alf at 11:58:17 PM Wednesday, December 18, 2002 ::: Today is an auspicious day in the history of in Xin Xiang. Someone who was searching for porn ("Horney drunk girls") was instead taken to this site. Man I love sitemeter. ::: posted by Alf at 7:06:36 PM Monday, December 16, 2002 ::: Watched some tv tonight which I rarely do and came up with some random observations. 1. Why do the news anchors on CCTV 9 (the english channel) change their hair every week? The hottest anchor has had the worst hair lately. First she had this quasi nappy look going, but it looked like she paid a lot for it. Now she has htis wierd wavy shit that looks like a wig. Chinese girls have pretty hair why can't they leave it alone. it looks like shit when they try to make it look like european hair. Oh yeah, this goes for guys to. The sports guy on CCTV nine also died his hair an unnatural purple color. 2.The people who write the sportscasters material must get their lines out of 1001 things sportcasters say. I've never heard so many poorly used cliches. 3. The craptaculars, big shows with lots of singing and dancing that are on 24 hours a day, must be even worse if you understand Chinese. One of my freinds was over and he was translating for me. The songs had two themes; China is great ("China my hometown") and personnel empowerment ("strive for your best"). 4. The chinese are good at modern dance. I think the madern dance is the worst artform ever. 5. Gender issues are fucked up in china (while I guess they are kinda fucked up everywhere). That big girl singer who is very popular was in the craptacular and she couln't even sing in key. People say she is very talented, but I think the chinese have a wierd thing for big lesbian singers. I have this one girl student who is kind of big and very butch. At every party she gets up and sings a song and everybody goes wild. Not saying its wrong, just f'd up. ::: posted by Alf at 11:29:55 PM 50 Most Loathsome People in America, 2002 ::: posted by Alf at 4:45:19 PM Wow, this really surprises me. Gore is not going to run for reelection. I guess all the media he has been getting lately has just been for kicks. Maybe he actually did want to sell some books. This leaves the democratic side wide open. My moneys on Kerry, but I have n idea what govenors are running. Who knew who bill Clinton was before 1992? I sure hope liberman dosn't get the nomination, I don't trust that guy. ::: posted by Alf at 1:19:11 PM Friday, December 13, 2002 ::: Anybody know how I can convince my "leaders" (for some reason in CHina you call your boss your leader), to give me more money? I thought that they already raised my salary (a measely 1000 rmb, yes I realsie I was stupid to accpet a salary this low and sign a contract fo r a whole year), but instead they just gave me the pay for two monthes. I tried to convince them to give me a raise next semester if I sign a contract for one more year. But I don't think my leader, understood me very well. He just kept saying, "we already have a contract." Damn I need more money if I want to keep living the life of a hua hua gong zi. Oh yeah, what does it mean if a chinese girl calls you a wooden man? I think it has something to do with me not paying very good attention to people. Because when I said I wasn't a wooden man, they asked me if I remembered their names. Of course I didn't, so they just laughed at me and kept called me wood man. ::: posted by Alf at 1:37:20 PM Wednesday, December 11, 2002 ::: Um, I am not in a blogging* mood but I feel that many things happened to me to day that are worthy of being blogged. First today I played twenty questions and pictionary with my class. Twenty questions went over all right, except that the fuckers didn't want to participate. It's a good thing I'm a american and I think it is funny when Chinese students lose face in front of the class. Then for the second half of class i tried to teach them how to play pictionary. They understood the concept but diodn't get the spirit of the game. Sinced my class was very big today I just picked out two students and had them face off while the rest of the class tried to geuss what they were drawing. The problem was that they tried to draw everything to pretty. They would draw a face but then erase it because the proportions weren't just right, or spending most of the time they where up their trying to get Jackie Chan's hair just right. This was allright and everbody seemed to enojoy it, even if there was too much Chinese and not enough english being spoken. But even after I tried to show them how to just draw rough caricatures of people, (I was able to draw pictures in about 15 seconds, while my students took 5 minutes, and the students were able to decipher mine more easily). I'm sure there is some subtle cultural difference here but I am to tired to figure it out. The second thing I felt like blogging about was this conversation I had with john over at sinosplice. One thing we talked about was how a lot of people laowai in china run into are users. After we talked I got to thinking about the point more and I realised that I am at least as big a user as most chinese people I know. My best Chinese friend is probably my chinese teacher. She teaches Chinese to me two times a week during her freetime for free, and in the past has rescheduled her work just so she can take the day off to deal with my problems. What does she get in return? When we talk in english I tell her when she is wrong, and I make fun of her a lot. I don't see this as a good deal on her part, but like I said she is probably one of my best friends over here. And I am going to Beijing for newyears (western, not chinese), where I will meet a friend of my father's grilfriend's friend's daughter. (got that?) Her father is supposedly Jiang Zeminn's** heart doctor. So I will go to biejing and use this very weak connection to this girl to make her lead me around the city and if she's hot I'll probabaly end up hitting on her too. On top of that one of the main reason's I want to meet her is so i can get good gaunxi*** with her family in case I ever want a job in Beijing. Goddamn I'm a fucker. At least Al Gore has a giant package (via mary) *Since elfuzz already told me how lame I am since I used a smily face in a comment , I feel that I have fallen far enough to start using the word "blog" as a verb. **I'm not gonna spell his name correctly to throw the censors off my trail... ***i.e. connections ::: posted by Alf at 11:56:00 PM Watched a movie today. it was about group of people from a baozi restuarent that take on a team of internaional students in a soccer match.

I got to learn to say no more, to many random meals with random chinese people. The weather here right now is really strange. It's 33 degrees out and there is this thick mist, (or dust or smog or whatever it is), covvering the area. Visability is about 10 yards, and I was a little scared coming home, but it was cool too. Oh yeah I got to remeber not to let my students eat apples and use my computer at the same time because they spit the peal all over my desk.... Ok edify yourself: A civil war in Iran is quite likely (told ya). I'm not sure how I feel about this one. It would be great if the Ayatollahs were driven out of power, but a civil war there would likely be bloody with no gaurentee of a quick victory. With a huge american military presence in gulf at the moment, it will be interesting to see what happens. ::: posted by Alf at 11:10:37 PM Sunday, December 08, 2002 ::: Well as it seems we are slipping close to war, (because Iraq decided to say that they don't have any weapons), I figure I'll put out a more nuanced take on the position, just so no one can say I was wrong. My main stance against a military action against Iraq is against a full scale invasion and bombing of Bahgdad. These two things would be very likely to cause massive loss of life. Beyond that I am actually not that opposed to military action against Iraq. I think we should be trying to slowly cut off Saddam from the rest of the country and try to make the transition as painless as possible. Now it is entirely possiible that this is what the bishies planned all along and that I will be wrong about my predictions of massive fallout from the iraqi campain. However even if our preemptive strike is succesful, Bush has already fucked american policy for decades to come. First of all, this whole episode seriously underminded the power of the united nations. As everybody knows the UN is a tool of the US, so it hurts us when we treat our own tools like crap. Secondly, we all ready see countries like China and Russia use the "preemptive" excuse to do whatever the fuck they want. I got more to say but I got more important things to do. ::: posted by Alf at 11:34:34 PM Man, I had one random Chinese night tonight. I didn't really know what I was going to tonight, I thought I waqs going to go out with these peasent irls I met at the bar, but they said they were busy. So I ended up going out with julianna instead (1) She is in her late 30's and is married to a taiwaness guy and is a pretty cool chick. Though I find it rather strange that one of my better friends in China is a midlle aged women, and that I went out on saturday night with her. She is married so I don't think she has any romantic intentions for me, because she is married and so much older than me, but you never know. It's already strange enough it wopulf be to wierd if she made a pass at me.(2) First I got a call from her that she needed to drop off a book. Then she invites me out to dinner, since I don't have anything else to do, I cheerfully accept her offer. We go to eat with this random girl who I think julianna is going to give a job but I never really figured out why she was there. So we had a nice dinner and i had a few beers and then we went to vist Howie's(3) house but that shit was boring (4). Earlier Julianna was telling me that she likes to stay out late and drink beers but her husbanmd says it is bad. After we left Howies I asked her if she wanted to go to sleep or go somewhere else, and she was down with going out. So first we were going to go to the most happening bar in town "Boys and girls"(5). But then she convinces me to go to the kareokee joint. We get there and there is no one there. "Umm we should go" I try to tell Julianna, but she wants to stay and sing a few songs. Since I can't say no to females, she convinces me to go up there and sing "adleweiss" (6)with her. I get up in front of the room and sing the song with her, even though I don't really know the words, belting it out in my best 40s croner voice. The four other people in the bar love it and come up to me to congradulate me. One guy calls me Da Shan (7) and gets me to dance with his wife. So I actaully ended up enjoying the Kareokee (8) and got to sing "yesterday, once again," the most popular english song in China that no one in america gives a fuck about (9) All in all a good night. (10). 1. I am going to start writing footnotes to my posts to make them more intelligable. Julianna is the owner of the Cofe (cafe) where I teach a few extra english classes each weak t oearn some extra money and meet new people. She is in her late 30's and is married to a taiwaness guy and is a pretty cool chick. Though I find it rather strange that one of my better friends in China is a midlle aged women, and that I went out on saturday with her. 2. though she does look good for her age. 3. Howie is this old american dude who also teaches at julianna's, I kinda think he bullshits a lot but if everything he says is true he has had an amazing life. 4. One of the things that make Howir's house nice is that it's usaully filled with chinese girls. He is one dirty old bastard and is always making sexual comments towards the girls, It's pretty disturbing and the girls are always hapy to see me, a foriegner who dosn't make creepy passes at them. 5. The first place I got drunk in China. 6. you know the song from the sound of music. by the way I watched the sound of music with my class the other day, some dude brought it in and asked if we could watch it. "is it in english?" i asked, yeah he said, so we watched. Damn that movie really sucks, I was definitly rooting for the nazis, but watching the reactions from my students was fairly entertaining. 7. Big Mountain the name of a famous canadian actor, wel at least he is famous in China. 8. Though in an ironic hip fashion, of course i didn't sincerly like it. 9. I think it is by the caprenters or something and the churos goes like "they sang sha la la la la, and wo o wo o" 10. Do you realsis what i just said? I sang in front of people! I never sing. If only you could have been a fly on the wall. ::: posted by Alf at 1:36:01 AM Saturday, December 07, 2002 ::: So true ::: posted by Alf at 2:49:42 PM "We are a big muscle-bound nation.

At first I was pissed off because they only told me about it an hour before it started. But then once it started it reminded me of the real reason i came to China: to see some crazy shit. Now I don't mean crazy like "wacky," but crazy in the "what the fuck are they thinking" kind of way. To start the evening off, one of the main presenters gives me this poem he wrote. I wish I had a copy because it was hilarious, while still being oddly moving. It compared our schools english association to a building in the sky, a young tree, bamboo and an eagle. To my surprise, they call me up to the front of the room to read the poem which I do a pretty good job at. But after I was finished I realised I missed a golden oppurtunity to turn the night into a poetry slam. I would have loved to read the poem shatner style with lots of strange dramatic pauses, well maybe next time. Then they start the kareokee for our entertainment. Most of the songs were boring chinese pop, but they had one funny one where this guy got up and sang opertic style to this military propaganda song about "what a soldier should do." All in all it was an intersting night. ::: posted by Alf at 8:29:13 PM Since I seem to be posting random stuff today, and since y'all like haiku's. i give you this this punk dared steppin practiced hard, his shit threatened. got a quick lesson via tbogg ::: posted by Alf at 5:47:50 PM This is amusing in a 1950's kind of way...

I guess at some point in my life I am gonna need to get a career. How long can I stay in China? How long will English teachers be able to get by wit as little experiance as I have? Will english always be as popular in Chia as it is right now? I don't really think I will be able to stay in China for too long. My plan right now is to leave when the place really starts to piss me off. I'm guessing this will happen in about 3-5 years, and hopefully I will have learned how to speak chinese by then. But what is really worrying me is what I will do after that. I would love to get a job at a brewery, but I've subscribed to a daily homebrew letter and most of those guys know way more than me and I'm just an ameuteur, so I don't know if being a brewer is anything more than a dream. Besides that I don't have any good ideas for a job. And I don't want to work to hard a a job I don't like cause I hate working. That's one reason I like my job in China, it's basically a part time job of about 20 hours a week, so I have lots of free time and the work dosn't get me down. Also I am more intersted in it than almost any other job I have had, (well i was intersted in my neuroscience research job, but also strangly apathetic about it). I actually care about my students and I trhem to learn something. Though in 2 years time who knows how apathetic I'll be toward teaching? I'm to damn restless. Maybe I should work on my writing, I could become a writer (thats a joke). ::: posted by Alf at 1:48:45 PM Monday, December 02, 2002 ::: I like to read things i don't agree with, like really conservative people, like Anne Coulter, because I think it is good to see what crazy ass people are thinking. Another good place to go for a totally warped world view is the NYtimes fashion section, I wonder if these people know what pretentions fucks they sound like. everal years ago, I temporarily lost my mind and held a seated black-tie New Year's Eve dinner for 32 at my house in New Orleans. It was complicated. I did all the cooking and setting up, so I was exhausted by the time the party began. The four tables were on two floors, and I had all the men change seats at the end of the second course, so the seating chart made my brain ache. A seating chart, was this a party for 4th graders? I hope she had enough prozac to help her through the rest of the party. ''I'm intrigued with music, film, books, art, anyone who will challenge prevailing wisdom, who steps up to the plate and goes, 'No.' I guess I just like the idea of stuff, whatever it may be, with something slightly wrong with it, the imperfection or fracture. I struggle to make the perfect but slightly imperfect thing. Buying the most incredible fabric, and then leaving the hem undone or doing the hem and then cutting it till it frays. It's like reverse snobbery.'' Or maybe you are just a pretentious fuck? Christy Turlington has arrived, and Jacobs, who has left his hard-partying days behind him, is eager to tell his friend that he is now five weeks smoke-free, as well. Which he does, the minute his sneakers hit the first floor. ''I am so impressed!'' she exclaims. Turlington, who started smoking at age 13, has been smoke-free for eight years, and lost her father to lung cancer five years ago. She is a cancer activist who has somehow managed to maintain a demeanor toward smokers that is understanding, sympathetic and yet quietly encouraging. It must be the yoga that she famously practices. If only we could all learn from christy, She's only a step away from enlightment. With time, though, Mr. Isabell has come to look upon his superstylish home as anything but hollow. "It feels warmer and homier," he said. "If anything, I feel happier and more secure there with the amazing things these great designers made." In other words, a man's castle is where his heart is. Sorry for all the annoying flip comments above, something about fashion really rubs me the wrong way. I think I am something of a cultural marxist. I think proletariat culture is better than high culture. (Well except for music and food and all kinds of other things, but this is my blog so I can be hypocritical if I want to). I guess the culture I really don't like is aristocraic culture. i don't mind if you are elitist as long as you are also poor. If you rich it's easy to be fashionable and you have a lot of peer pressure to do so but if you are poor, it's much more difficult and intersting. Besides the good food described in all the articles above I think I would shoot myself before I associated with these people. (Unless I could do so on an ironic, condescending level. I hope those bastards read my blog, that'll show them yeah...) (Brilliant insight about China (in case you don't want to read through my stream of consciousness above I'm pointing this out to you)). This is actually one of the things I dislike about China. The goverment actually seems to support a very traditional and elitist view of Chinese culture. Concentrating on the historical culture of China. Most of china's mass-culture seem to be largely borrowed from america. In this way America is more marxist in that the most powerful forces in it's culture are the masses, while in china the state run media still can put beijing opera on the TV for 24 hours a day. I often bitch about how bad Chinese music is to my Chinese friends, who say that this is just because i come from a different culture. This may be partly true but the reasons I think it sounds so bad is because it saounds like bad western music. One of the reasons for this is that the Chinese artists cannot offend the goverment, so they do not take risks. I think if there was less goverment control of the media, more intersting musical styles would emerge. As it is, there is an incentive to keep your music bland and boring. (this isn't to say that american pop is intersting, but on the whole I'd say it is more intersting than Chinese pop). ::: posted by Alf at 10:12:00 PM Goddam, do they have to do construction in China all night long?

Not that the people that came here were searhing for "spread wide donkey monkey love," Remember everybody, correlation dosn't equal causation. update: They have stopped drilling I get to go to bed! ::: posted by Alf at 12:10:49 AM Sunday, December 01, 2002 ::: ummm, well I wanna post a lot of stuff but I am feeling lazy so maybe I will try to post it in haiku form, yeah, nothing better than a good haiku... Here is one that I am sure no one will understand, unless you are into evolutionary psychology and philosophy of science Sociobiology, Why does it suck? Evolutionary Psychology, D-squared attacks! falls short, however. Context and Social Bias not appropriate tools. Testability! Allright, here is one about china Chinese men, why so lame? Hot pot, half spicy half mild, 5 bottles pijiou still, he is boring. "Do you like china" "What do you do in your spare time" "Why are you so shy?" Another pijiou, Across the room a pair of eyes "yes, I like china." Alright one more... teaching, distractions Teaching a new class I'm happy, i get to teach them grammer, think hard. Oh no! their chinese english teacher says grammer is not appropriate. More boring shit about american culture stop talking chinese. ::: posted by Alf at 9:24:22 PM Someone who I do not know has actually linked to my blog. I'm not saure if that was the wisest idea on his part, we'll see what happens..... The guy who linked to me, Chuck, has a great site about teaching in china. if you want any information about it I suggest you check it out. I'm not sure what's going to happen with the new influx of vistors this is sure to cause. Will it force me to change my no spelling policy, or will I keep true to the streets? Will people be so offended by what they read here that they will write the Chinese goverment and demand I be expelled from the country? Will the goverment censors discover this hotbed of dissent and senfdJackbooted thugs to kick down my door and drag me off to a reeducation camp? Will my site become incredably popular, causing me to become rich and famous? After I become rich and famous would the wine, women drugs and Beijiao feuled parties, the embarassing interviews were I am obviosly drunk and the overall pressure of trying to stay true to my roots when my handlers want me to dress like Justin Timberlake cause me to move to vermont and start a dairy farm? only time will tell. ::: posted by Alf at 6:17:07 PM © A.
