Blogging

Sorry folks, not much to blog about. It rained all weekend and I got a haircut, which depending on your definition, may or might not be a mullet.  It’s not exactly what I wanted (who wants a mullet?) but I am going to live with it for a while. Although I’m not sure I want [...]

I’m working up a couple of new projects for the blog and one of them revolves around health and medicine in China. Anyone out there have any experiences with healthcare in China that they’d care to share? Email me at imaglobalgal at gmail dot com. I’m curious about all aspects of healthcare and I welcome [...]

I wanted to write something witty. I wanted to tell you about our two students who earned their private pilot licenses this weekend. I wanted to share something interesting. I am seriously and severely incapable of doing any of that today. Not for lack of coffee, if nescafe counts. Not for lack of time as [...]

CB Hell

The morning started out sunny & humid. I should have known something was up. “Thunderstorm! Thunderstorm!” I can hear our Chinese staff calling excitedly. Thunderstorms clouds are known as “CBs” here, short for cumulonimbus clouds. At flight schools in the US, thunderstorms are nuisances that shut down operations until they pass. Here, CBs are serious [...]

I’m really enjoying these two blogs, written by a couple spending six months in Shanghai. They both feature beautiful photos. Sometimes it’s refreshing to see this country through new eyes! And these two have great eyes: Jamie Sinz, particularly this post and Nik Daum, this post, among others. I came to these blogs by way [...]

Every once in a while I get inspired to change things up, and that’s what happened this week. Except I have ignored my house and instead decided to fix up this ‘ol blog. Lord knows [...]

Gimme a Break

March 12, 2009

in Blogging, Health

Postings have been sparse as of late! I’m afraid I’m going to have to take a convalescence break from blogging this week, other than perhaps a Photo Friday post. It’s difficult to be witty or even coherent with the sniffles, and I’ve got quite a little cold brewing up here. I’ll be back soon, renewed!

Thank you for stopping by! Welcome to my first visitor from Africa in 2009! Since New Year’s, when my little map with all the red dots reset itself, Africa has been conspicuously clear of red dots. I pay ZERO attention to my stats people – I have NO idea who or how many people actually read this [...]

I made this on Wordle on my lunch break. It’s easy, fun and a satisfying time waster!

Just when I’ve gotten back into the swing of blog posting and visiting other beautiful blogs, I’ve got to take a little hiatus. I am, as I type, procrastinating the completion of my Information Ethics research paper. (I’m writing on Internet Filtering in China) That’s got to be done by Sunday afternoon. (And whoa am [...]
