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

Posted on May 29, 2008 by Meg

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

It’s a typical night in the Meg Autonomous Region. We’ve just had dinner, which was a rocking version of Mama Hoffmann’s stuffed mushrooms, only with every ingredient replaced with something I can find in Fengtai. We watched a disc of … Continue reading →

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 →
