puppetry of the penis

I normally try to avoid posting China stuff, but I just couldn't resist this one:

"...And does it have any particular potency? "No. People just like to order tiger to show off how much money they have."
Welcome to the People's Republic of China - tigers beware...

..."Oh yes," she adds, "the same group also ate an aborted reindeer foetus..."

But really though, if I still were in China, I'd be blocked from reading this BBC article.

(Also, I would like to not-so-subtly point out my tie in with Australia via my title.)

My Summer Exercise

So I've decided jogging is overrated and I urban acrobatics looks much more fun. I hope the music is playing the entire time I'm doing it. Do you think I should take a lesson first?

Blast from the past

Pajama-Rama in Shanghai

honor bound

A couple years ago, my rant de jour was that if America banned gay marriage in the constitution I would change my citizenship. Which is still true. But now that extends to the new interpretation of torture. Making someone feel as if they are almost drowing or freezing to death is so fucked up, that I shouldn't even have to write about how wrong it is. But yes, if that is allowed or continued to be allowed, I'm out.

Also, in semi-related news, I went to see the performance "Honour Bound" this past weekend. Absolutely stunning. If it leaves Australia, or if you're in the area, I highly recommend seeing it. It will never get to America though.

I don't take these quizes until I get the answer I want

You Belong in San Francisco

You crave an eclectic, urban environment. You're half California, half NYC. You're open minded, tolerant, and secretly think you're the best. People may dismiss you as a hippie, but you're also progressive, interesting, and rich!

Where Does Your Inner Californian Belong?

Soy Chai Latte

Is there anything better in terms of warm beverages? I don't think so. Maybe hot chocolate sometimes. Tea is good as a base, but it doesn't normally make me happy in a way chai or hot chocolate can. I don't drink coffee. I'm having a soy chai latte as I type this. And I'm reasonably happy.

Reasonably?

Well it is Sunday night and I have class and a meeting with my supervisor and I was just doing some assignments, etc. Which is all fine and good. I don't even know what I'm blogging anymore.

I hate when people blog about their actual boring lives. Like the fact that chai makes them happy and they're giving you an up-to-date account of what they're drinking at the moment. Fucking annoying.

I learned how to fold cranes. There will be a new release soon concerning that. If I get around to it. And I have another project I'm working on. But that one is taking a bit of time. Not much effort, but definitely a fair chunk of time. It may be released before the crane. It depends on if I get around to charging my batteries for my camera or not.

So anyway, other than that (just had another sip of chai, fyi) yeah class, etc. Planning a road trip at the end of the month. Not like I've been keeping this blog up to date (no -'s this time) or anything. So by reading this, all it looks like I'm doing is surfing youtube and torturing birds.

Pretty much.


I bet it would make you happy if you drank that.
