by the way, i went 3-1 in my wild card round picks. from, you can infer that i wouldnt have lost another game if id continued picking on the blog (except for that stupid pats-colts game that made me want to stab myself in the eye or the super bowl, the first one i missed since the cowboys were kicking the crap out of the bills in 1992. stupid china).

im an idiot, but you already knew that.

ok so i started this thing as a means to relay stories from the great motherland back to americans without having to repeat the same story over and over and over again. then two things happened. 1) i no longer have any friends, so i dont have to repeat these stories to anyone and 2) i forgot what email address i had this blog under, so ive been logging in under the wrong name for the past five months, unable to post, and too stupid to understand why. im an idiot. so anyway im going to start using this again (or i guess for the first time) and ill post stories on work on china as they come along, so log in if you want to get the inside scoop on how much prostitutes cost on beijing or how to deftly avoid doing anything at your summer job, then this is the place to be! ill post an actual story in the next few days, probably about japan cuz thats still fresh in my mind.
