No, not me! There’s this guy in Palmer, a total WoW addict, and he drives to the local public library, which has wireless internet, where he sets up his laptop to play World of WarCraft in his parked car. The local cops caught him and took his laptop away as evidence in some future trial!
Since [...]

Frag Doll Valkyrie  has blogged about Top Ten Least Original Things To Say To A Girl Gamer.

On Saturday morning, I went bridesmaid dress re-shopping with Katie. Apparently the one we picked out last time came in a periwinkle that isn’t the same periwinkle the other bridesmaids have. But we found a new one that works, and it’ll be ready in plenty of time for Katie and Scep’s wedding!

Things were better in Chinese class today. I still giggle everytime my teacher says xiaojie, although she insists that it means miss. I’m not saying she’s wrong, but I’m pretty sure I would have gotten into big trouble using that as a form of address in Yantai.

In Wisconsin, three teenage boys beat and killed a homeless man, and later described the fight as “like a videogame”. I hate hearing the videogame defense, because it seems like a normal teenager should have the ability to distinguish between a computer game and actually killing someone.

So the other day in Chinese class, I ended up sitting with all the native speakers who are taking Elementary Chinese for an easy A. That sucked!

I can’t believe that last Chinese new year I was just starting my trip to China, and crying over leaving Stick, and this new year we’re unpacking time-capsule boxes and setting up our new place!
I’m trying to convince Stick that we can’t clean or sweep today because it’s the Lunar New Year and we [...]

Look what Stick got me for Valentine’s Day!

That’s right! We’re moving next week!
(It does make me feel a little guilty for making fun of his cookies now.)

You know what this is?
It’s a break-and-bake sugar cookie with a square of pink sugar on the top. I’m not going to say who sugared cubes of raw dough and put them in the oven, but they were delicious!
