WarCraft and Weddings
Scep told me that our highschool friend Garan got engaged a few days ago! Garan’s living in Korea (it’s amazing how many of our old friends moved to Asia), so I immediately emailed him to get the details. Meg to … Continue reading
Southern Attempt
Stick was hired by 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! Waffle House and … 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

Daily Life With Stick
“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
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
