One thing that people have never accused me of is not being aware of what's going on. I'd be out of Montreal for six months and people were still asking me where they should go. One of the reasons is that I read a lot.. a lot about all kinds of different things. So when pygmy and I were planning on going to Hangzhou for...

Because I'm a swell fellah I bought Pygmy a bubble gun, which she loves.
Unfortunately she's now taken to making surprise guerrilla raids on me while I'm on the toilet and showering me with bubbles.
For those who've been asking we had a really lovely trip to Hangzhou, I'm currently editing my photos (more nice ones taken than any China trip so far), but when...

zaksmith:
someplace much worse
datsun:
how funny. I lunched at CP the other day & thought of you. I think you really need to visit SF so you & the lady can come dine and taste wine with me. Napa Valley and Alice Waters are calling!
Je sens comme le diable en forme de cavalier.
I keep thinking in French lately, small curlicues of Quebec and Canada winding themselves up and out of my DNA.
Time to gather up these mental wood shavings and make something of them.

How was the trip? (But if you're working on a comprehensive trip report with images for posting, just ignore this.)

I don't think that many pictures of me exist in the world. I must not be a bohemian, then.
velocity:
There is actually one picture of me on the whole wide internet, but it's slightly old and I'm labeled as a parking ramp. Or rather, the parking ramp is labeled as me.
My kingdom for a hoagie.
It's getting colder over here in China, not Canada cold, but chilly if your apartment has no heating devices besides blankets and a small wall heater in the bathroom.
Pygmy and I plan on having a Chinese Xmas by going for a short holiday to Hangzhou, and have Christmas dinner at Louwailou, one of the most famous restaurants in China....

Favorite SG related moments:
- the wildness of meeting everyone at the first big SG Prom in San Fran - making Becca
dance
- breaking toes (in self-defense!) at the 1st SG Calgary NYE Party, also being completely unstoppable at Mario Kart in the Star capturing multi-challenge
- mysterious midnight phone calls from [SGnameredacted] reading out full Borges short stories in the original spanish

It was real fur or else I wouldn't have said that to her.
freckle:
i'm sure your snore was adorable prior to sg as well!
I keep having dreams that I'm having weird medical issues (rattle snake bite, ear tumor pressing on brain), and I'm always at these Halloween parties surrounded by girls and wandering through underground passages. And Barack Obama's there, pouring orange juice.
Freudians and/or Jungians! To my aid!

Presumably even in China, one can get instant (if not good) mac and cheese?

Oh god, Delfino's has the best deep dish in the world, even better than the supposed originator of the style, Pizzeria Uno (I ran through airport security with one of their pies balanced on my head once, but that's an entirely different story involving some of the best stunt driving I've ever seen).
Delfino's has a crust that's crispy on the outside, slightly doughy on the inside, rich garlicky red sauce, melty mozzarella, and they put whole pine nuts in their pesto pizza. It's divine. I can't think of a better Christmas dinner.

Things that are on my mind:
- the music of the carillon (the world's largest musical instrument made entirely of bells)
- obscure gamelan music (fuck mainstream gamelan that all the kids are listening to! yuck yuck)
- weird disco (the subject of my next podcast)
- the degree to which birdsong might function as actual music
- Canadian folks songs, specifically lumberjack music

I once performed a choral song that imitated Gamelan music. It was hideous

I saw Russian Ark in a theater...I think everyone else was asleep but I was swooning.
If you've been on this site as long as I have you might remember I used to do a college radio show for 5 years called "Toast in the Machine." Whenever I'd have a show I'd post a link in my journal, many of you would listen and a fun time would be had by all.

Meh, I puked in a train station in Japan once. Of course that had less to do with drinking and more to do with drinking while taking an extra bc pill (I learned never to do that again). Still, my 23rd birthday was pretty idiotic. I didn't piss myself, though.
severus:
I'll tell her you said so.
It really does all look wonderful. Happy New Year!
