Stick was hired by Epic Games as a playtester! It’s a great situation for him, sure, it’s not actually sitting at home playing WarCraft all day but it’s close. The job’s in Raleigh, so now we’re going to be southerners! … Continue reading →

Priorities

Some of Stick’s students will be receiving their red scarves in a Children’s Day ceremony next week. I believe they’re called honglinjin (or is it honglinjian? Not entirely sure). You see them on Chinese schoolchildren all the time. These red … Continue reading →

Monday Evening

Posted on March 10, 2008 by Meg

Night Elf Seeks Gnome for LTR

Posted on November 14, 2007 by Meg

On a completely unrelated note, I just found out there’s a World Of WarCraft dating site, where WoW gamers can, er, hook up. I’m not making this up, it’s called World Of DateCraft. The site’s pretty new, with beta warning … Continue reading →

Embassy District DVDs

Posted on November 13, 2007 by Meg

On Saturday, Stick and I roused ourselves from our WarCraft stupor and went out in search of sour cream. Stick thinks that a life without sour cream is barely worth living, and Stick complains so rarely that I mapped out … Continue reading →

Daily Life With Stick

Posted on November 9, 2007 by Meg

“Stick, I need to get on your computer to print my skit for class.” My skit is a brilliant adaptation of The Emperor’s New Clothes, with Chinese characteristics. “Right now? I’m in an instance!” That means fighting WarCraft bad guys … Continue reading →

Someone’s Male Role Model

Posted on September 23, 2007 by Meg

The other day, Stick was playing WarCraft, and I went out to run some errands. I’d somehow totally forgotten how China is for the single Western girl… I guess having Stick around cuts down on the catcalls. I was walking … Continue reading →
