• Hush Hush at Rockefeller: half James Brown, half preacher; all sex. “Sex Partay” was a particular favourite. Great presence. #
• Let me revel in my self-control as I tumble in to bed at 1am. God knows, there was fun to be had. #
• It’s friday. It’s almost 6. It’s almost time to hit the RF pub and partake of the microbrews. Come one, come all! #
• 今朝有酒今朝醉
  明日愁来明日愁
  While there’s wine today, I’ll get drunk today;
  When grief comes tomorrow, I’ll grieve tomorrow.

• I have tickets for Flight of the Conchords in Oslo! On the 22nd of May! Yay! #
• RT @goldkorn What is going on at going at the Global Times? http://is.gd/9HXIl @tcvarney #
• I read this when I first started studying Chinese. I felt bad. A year and a half later, I feel worse. http://bit.ly/w55tj - very good read. #
• Good MS Word replacement for Macs? Compared to how snappy it is in Windows, it’s a complete nightmare on a Mac. Would need footnote support. #
• Chinese hip-hop: http://bit.ly/bPaSid … probably the most cringeworthy youtube video I’ve come across in a while. [Old news; new to me] #
• This is perfect: http://bit.ly/c5UQWF The illustration, the example sentences and the literal meaning (extremely good). 极好! Two thumbs up! #
• 获 and 莸 had me confused there, for a little while. #
• 丁丁 (Tintin) is pretty hard reading for a comic book. #
• Anyone have any experience using Chinese journals as source materials? I’m working from the assumption that they’re peer-reviewed and kosher #
• Tilt, by Rockefeller, has an awesome beer selection. They imported the lesser of the Stone Brewery IPAs, though. Oh, well #
• Haandbeyggeriet “Wild Thing” smells like the fat of dry cured venison. Apparently, it’s meant to be “infused with cranberries and currants”. #
• Haandbryggeriet Ardenne Blonde #260 smells like canned asparagus. Tastes like it, too. Bleh. #
• How about that sunlight? This feels like spring! (hoping I didn’t jinx it) #
• The poem 面朝大海，春暖花开 by 海子 took on another level of meaning once I found out about his suicide at age 25. Intrigued. #
• Onwards and upwards! #
