  1. Hard to believe that 9 months after picking up a guitar I am playing Shane & Shane. How fun is that!
  2. With the weather getting cooler, I cooked some whole oatmeal (groatmeal?) this morning. 1c oats, 3c H2O, salt & cinnamon in a rice cooker.
  3. Schäfer has reached the 'why?' phase of language development. I like 'why'. It gets to the crux of issues and makes us think about life.
  4. Hui noodles are the Asian Starbucks. Ubiquitous, tasty and consistent. Hot Uighur bread is my Krispy Kreme. They're good but don't overeat.
  5. I don't understand how Chinese mothers can teasingly say to their infant daughters, "Mama doesn't like you and wishes you were a boy."
  6. Fact: Chinese love to talk about their differing dialects with each other. "In our city we say 'grandfather' like this... How about you?"
  7. Going to an unkown barber in China is only nerve-wracking if you prefer not to look like a member of a 90s boy band.
  8. Signs of winter approaching: A hot shower finally feels good. Our first batch of chai is brewed. And the city smells like burning coal.
  9. #MotionX Share: http://bit.ly/1avPxv
  10. It's 6:30am. No smog. I'm going riding today to WuDouHe. Nothing like 120k to ride off the adoption stress.
  11. Just broke into our cheddar cheese, aged 6 months. Starting to have a little room in the fridge again. Until I start aging the next block!
  12. Just finished my first pomelo of the season! To me, autumn is finally here. However, to the Chinese autumn is nearly halfway over.
  13. @RyanJaySmith I hear ya. The next computer any of my family buy will be a Mac if I can convince them. Should make tech support much easier.
  14. @steve_webel You have white hair yet?
  15. Following the Chinese motif: "if you like it, it will soon be gone"...ShiShangCha at Sogo's is not coming back this year.
  16. Yesterday was a gorgeous and clear day. Today looks like a cigarette factory caught on fire...one of those "cycling-would-be-bad" days.
  17. If anyone knows the key to getting my fingers to learn the Bm bar chord, please don't hesitate to speak up.
  18. @SouthAsiaRocks Try making Cinnabons, cheaper and easier to gain weight: http://bit.ly/16U3jX :)
  19. Retaped my drop bars. Tuned the brakes. Sharpened the kitchen knives. Rode 30km. And traveled to the visa office. No relation intended.
  20. Too many posts to re-categorize. Managed to figure out how to drop and import the categories from the old database. Done. Blog is back.
