I realsize I havn’t been telling you what to think lately, so here you go
The sniper is caught, thats good, but his race and religion aren’t really important for any political resaon
The press has fianlly figured out that the president lies.
emmmm, other shit is complicated, so just ask me if you have any questions.
One of the lasting effects of going to college for four years, is that every friday night i start to feel this strange extistential despair growing in me, if I don’t go out drinking. I can’t even think of anything else clever to say, maybe I’ll become anorexic… I have always thought that aneroexic girls in earlier times would be considered spirtually song and would become nuns or virgin sacrifices or something. I mean look Siddhartha by Hesse, the guy in it goes into the forest and gets all spiritually pure, and what are his skills when he comes out? he can meditate and fast. It’s a sign that our society has advanced that we see fasting as a diesease and not some fucking religous experiance.
That being said, fasting does have a certain allure to it, espiacially on lonely, beerless nights like tonight. When I was sick last week i didn’t eat very much two days and all food tasted like shit, so thats probably a little bit what being anorexic feels like…
Fuck I don’t know, maybe if I could get paid for htis bullshit in my head, something would happen
Oh shit, look how I spelled “archetique” below, how do you spell that word? I have no idea. It’s even more amusing when u remember that I teach english.
A noted archetique, Casey Rehm, ercently posted this brilliant qoute on a website I occaisonly preuse,
“Note, asian girls don’t neccessarily know what cooties are or that when i say i don’t want your disease, I wasn’t serious. Cause in truth I want your disease, baby. I want your disease hard, in the face.”
Indeed
The voting in the to email or not to email poll is at 2 for emailing aniie, and 3 against, I haven’t decided when to close the pulls but it will probably be sometime this weekend or early next week, so get your votes in and help to decide the fute of my friendship with Annie.
wrote this email to my mom who asked me about what I was eating, It’s kind of random, but I thought y’all might be interested.
My diet is pretty varied, lots of chines food, hehe. They eat a lot of mutton here, so I eat that a lot. The local specialty is Jiao tze, which are like tortilini. They like balnd stews with carrtos and chiken or mutton but I on’t really like those. They have a lot of eggplnt and strange vegetables but I can’t really think of them now. They eat a huge amount of garlic way more thatn in america. Strange things I have eaten would be pig ears and fish eyes. They like to make this strange jello like substance out of sweet potatoe, its allright but too salty. That would be my major complaint about the food it is too salty.
I don’t eat breakfest, except for some fruit or some yourgurt at my place. The chinese like tp eat a lot of friend stuff and I just don’t like it for breakfast. The main meal of the day is lunch, and we will have a few stirfired vegetable dishes. Some boiled meat of some kind and a spicy dish. The chinese like to eat rice porrige but I prefer coka cola. Dinner is basically the same as lunch but smaller. when we are lucky we get noodles or Jiao tze, my favorite. The serve the noddles with a wierd brown meat sauce, it tastes pretty good. Thats about all i can think of right now, and my hand are getting cold, so my typing is becoming worse.
tired, long day, but tommorow I only have one class, gotta fugure out, what to teach them too, I should really get this lesson plan thing together. I have two votes in my email or not email annie poll, I need more.
Here is a lovely story about 9/11 by John Updike on the atlantic website, Varieties of Religious Experience .
Paul wrote me an email and said that I bitch to much, or maybe he likes my bitching I don’t know. Maybe on this blog I give the impression that I don’t like china, but I just bitch here a lot because I have no one else to bitch too. it’s really a pretty nice country and most people are very nice. So I do like china, in case you were wondering.
Paul also said he supports me in not emailing annie, so that inpired me to start a poll were I ask the readers of this blog to email me and tell me if I should
A. Email annie
B. Not email annie
c. none of the above
Even if you are one of the 2% of the worlds population that dosn’t know who annie taff is, you can still vote, just come from your gut. The status of my emailing annie depends on your responses. So do your duty and get out and vote!
Blogger has been a bitch lately so I havn’t really been able to post much., so I’ll give y’all the run down of what is going on in this post. I’ve had lots of wierd run-ins with chinese beuracracy and leadership. Frist I emailed the head of my program in America and told him about the restrictions they put on me. So then he says that sucks and emails the chinese head of my progrma and the chinese head emails the head of my school, and the have an “honest” discussion and so then I get a call that I have another meeting! I go to this meeting and my leader at the school tells me that it was all just a problem in translation. he didn’t mean anything that he ssaid it is like when a Chinese parent tells there child to come home early, they don’t really mean that, they just want to be safe. I don’t really by this, but I figure that since he said not to take anyting he says at face value, now I can do what ever I want, so thats cool.
The other wierd thing that is going on is that this women at the international “cofe” (with an accent aigu), wants me to work there, so she is doing all this crazy shit behind the scenes, like talking to the heads of her work departmetna nad the leaders of the city, and she keeps telling me thatmy college is to strict, and I should break the rules, but I think that might just be cause she wants me to go to work for her. But the really wierd thing is that she said she was talking to the had of the communist party at my school and that he said that he didn’t want me to get to many friends, espiecially with the high ranking officials in town because “then I would know to much.” I don’t even know if that is true but if it is its really strange, cause who gives a fuck about what a scrubby apathetic slacker knows about whats going on in a shitty little town in Henan, totally strange if its true.
The other thing that is just pissing me off is that I gotta teach this computer aided design class thats over 100 students big just because it is a “national model class,” which means the communist gov’t thinks it will make them look good to have a bunch of CAD freaks running around. But they suck at speaking english and the class is to big to do anything but lecture in so all I can do is talk at them and have them not understand me, fucking retarded.
