Sometimes I have things to share, like news, thoughts or links, but I don’t think it’s “big” enough for a dedicated post. I’ll group things like this together and call it Randomness.
Random things:
- My parents very generously have bought me a digital SLR camera for my graduation from library school. Thanks! Gracias! Xie xie! I’m a proud owner of a Nikon D80! I’m not the best amateur photographer out there, but I am making every effort to learn more and take better photos. I don’t have the camera yet, but hope to pick it up sometime in January. I have been reading photography websites and browsing photo-blogs all weekend. If you have any recommendations, please comment!
- For example, here is the very lovely photography site of Allison Wright (no relation as far as I know.) I can only aspire to such beauty.
- And in other randomness, I feel I have to share the absurdity of Linyi McDonald’s and their choice of music. Saturday morning while I enjoyed my coffee, I was quite stunned to hear a completely uncensored version of the infamous 90’s single “Don’t wanna a short d**ked man,” loud and proud, only in China.

Just to let u know….Q8 has changed a lot since u’ve been here. I will never be able to get this memory out of my head….this was about 7 yrs ago….here i am in some clothing store at the mall….all of a sudden i notice the music that’s being played…it was that techno song that says..”I’m horny horny horny horny so horny….”!!!! insane…i look around to c the reactions of the people in the store with me n all i c is a bunch of ninjas, aka women dressed in black from head to toe, and some wearing the hijab…no one had a clue what was being played!!! just the combo of the song n the ninjas…scarred me for life!!
LOL Khadijah!! I can believe it! I was at a disco quite a long time ago now here in Linyi and everyone was dancing and having a great time to “Everybody loves the pu**y.” I just can’t bring myself to type that since I know my mom might read this. hehehe At least there were no dancing ninjas…
I was also trying to see if there was any reaction in McDonalds, but nobody understood the lyrics, I guess. But it was really, really loud. and clear!
Here is a great PhotoBlog of some daily life and scenaries in China, which may be of interest to you:

Thanks ThidEye! I remember seeing Maggie’s beautiful photos before, but I hadn’t bookmarked it. This will give me lots of inspiration!
