Multiple places to write now
So I’m sure some one may have noticed, but I actually switched to the AJAX only version of the theme, which is definitely in BETA status at the moment as it can’t process any WordPress short tags and hasn’t yet figured out when someone is logged in or not. Nevertheless, I sort of figured if [...]

New AJAX Only Layout
New Layout So this redesign had a couple of initial inspirations. 1) I like text based layouts. I always have, and I probably always will. I never quite understood what all the fuss about pictures were and images and graphics and all that crap. It probably comes from the fact that I was a writer [...]

Actual Post and Updates
Again, it’s been a while since posting, almost 2 weeks, mostly due to how busy we’ve been with Maria’s MBA program starting up properly and falling into the routine of it all. I don’t think there’s actually much new to post about, so I think this post will mostly be me complaining about a plethora [...]

Summer Palace – Fall 2010
So I’d been very reluctant to go to the Summer Palace, not for any particular reason that I can actually verbalize at the moment. Maria had been wanting to go for a while, and there was always one reason or another why it wasn’t a good time that day. But we finally went, and, all [...]

Very sick…
So it’s been like, over a week. Maria and I are both sick. We think it happened because of all the MBA people she was interacting with. The theory goes, we have close to 100 people, coming from different and perhaps, weird, countries, flying long distances on planes with perhaps even, weirder, people, all being [...]

As Promised…
Nothing too much to write, mostly because I’m sick and quite tired, and it’s a little warm but I’m having temperature issues so I don’t want to turn the AC on. We’re both sick actually, got sick a the same time, and seem to be progressing through the symptoms at roughly the same pace as [...]

August ending
I’m back in Beijing, finally un-jet-lagged, not unpacked. I’ve registered, gotten one set of orientation activities done with, met a good number of my classmates and a variety of other students at my university. I have a class schedule and a schedule for the next two weeks of orientation activities, which will change, of course. [...]

Maria in NYC Music Project – Last Post
So she’s home! And I’m late in posting this because we’ve been really busy since she’s been back getting everything ready and sorted for school which technically started today, though it was just simple registration today. Proper stuff begins tomorrow with a 3 day orientation, classes not until mid September or so. The point though [...]

Maria in NYC Music Project – Day 54 and 55
I’m late in posting today, or rather yesterday, so I’m posting both songs together because I don’t want to miss anymore days as Maria will be on her way back real soon. She’ll leave Saturday afternoon her time, which is middle of the night Saturday night my time, and I want to make sure she [...]

Maria in NYC Music Project – Day 53
So I had a job interview today with the ISB, International School of Beijing. It’s a real fancy place, and is where some fellow IFC people also work, specifically the lady with whom I’m working with the Youth Choir is. She’s head of the Performing Arts department apparently. But that means that since she’s there [...]

Coming home
Coming home I have three days left in NYC. It’s been an awesome summer. Although I somehow (shockingly) failed to master the intricate arts of investment banking, I do understand a lot more than I did before. I also oriented myself in the city, met and reconnected with some great folks, and had some lovely [...]
