I got a scholarship to study Chinese!! So I more or less just got sent here. But I'm at Heilongjiang University, and... yeah. Just hanging out and learning Chinese.

That is quite awesome. (My wife is Chinese. I know about enough Chinese to tell when she's talking smack about me. I love the language, though. I was sold when I discovererd the Chinese for penguin is 'goose standing upright'.)

Welcome zuisa, with your mad scholarship-getting-skillz. Vampires, TWOP AND learning cool stuff--you clearly were meant to be a Buffista!

Hi, zuisa! Where did you go to Harbin from?

Everyone said he was surprisingly short.

ita says that's most celebs she's seen.

The funniest is celebs that complain that other celebs are short, while you're staring eye-level at them...

There is a loud power tool of some sort going on outside my window. This is not fair.

Maybe I will leave the house after all. Maybe boots will happen, and some drinks from World Market.

If kat is around or anyone else know what size the twins are in now? I'm at a sale and they have lots of kid stuff cheap.

They look like 2T to me in pictures, msbelle, but I could be really off.

Thanks again everyone!

Yes, Chinese is pretty awesome, I think!

I originally hail from Massachusetts. Went to school in Minnesota. Four months in Utah..... I move a lot =)

Welcome, zuisa!

All the sweet potato recipes are going to force me to buy some. Love them all ways that aren't real sweet. Yum.

I'm going to try and not go outside today. Except maybe the pool. Hit 100 yesterday. Yikes. 91 at the moment.

You guys are making me miss *real* sweet potato, the green stuff. Which...I've never seen made into fries, but it makes an awesome pudding.

I am currently in MA!

And I screwed around long enough that now I need lunch. Well, I did take a shower and establish that I really don't need to buy any clothes for vacation, except I still want black linen capris....

Hiya, Zuisa! Welcome to the madhouse we call home!
