Wednesday Whitewash

Finally getting back into the flow of the semester. Three more months of work and then it is summer break. Would like to go somewhere new this summer, but getting back home and possibly going back to the mainland for a bit are higher on the priority list. Maybe I'll just do the Jakarta weekend instead.

Had my graduate school interview last night along with two other applicants (both young female Hong Kongers). I am on a completely different level than them, but I'm not sure what exactly the school is searching for. I think my chances are pretty good though.

Things I've been listening to, watching, or reading lately:
Soul Control- Cycles
Blacklisted- No One Deserves To Be Here More Than Me
Dial- self-titled EP
Dead Swans- Sleepwalkers
Small Brown Bike- The River Bed
Envy- A Dead Sinking Story
Glassjaw- live in HK
Shantaram- Gregory David Roberts
A Thousand Years of Good Prayers- Yiyun Li

Tiger

I'm back from hibernation. It has been longer than needed, but the tank is full and the engine will run.

Happy 2010 (50 days late) and Year of the Tiger (1 week late). It has been that kind of year for me. Typical and not transformative. Things have been looking up of late. I promise to write here more often about a wide range of topics. Most will be writing exercises, ramblings to myself, pointed pieces towards an individual or group. Maybe I'll become a critic. Maybe start writing fairy-tales. But practice will be done and words will be published and juices will stream.

New layout and format to come. Less talk, more rock.

Off to chop some chives for some homemade jiaozi.
