And give me a PM sometime about everything that's great and awful about Shanghai, LM.
Are you coming/nearby? Or have you been in the area?
Not near Shanghai, actually. I was in Hong Kong for about a week. However, my area of study is the Asiatic so it'll be nice to hear some on-the-field kind of views of the city.
I'll let you know. I was in Taiwan for a month before I got here, and the differences are pretty interesting.
Also, I'm Loren Burnes-Hicks on Facebook, if you like.

The munchkin has taken to switching the cd player to radio. Since I don't listen to the radio much, I had never bothered to actually set a station. As far as I know, it's at wherever it was coming out of the box, but it's possible that she was messing with the tuner and stopped when she hit some music. She's not too particular about what kind of music she listens to, as long as it's music.
I'm now listening to "Jacksonville's New Country" -- for the most part, it's what you would expect, except the song that was just on.
The lyrics that caught my attention were "save a horse, ride a cowboy"
I'm not sure this is a message I want my 2-year-old to absorb. Perhaps I should find a nice classical station or something.

Animal rights! :^:

Edit: Awesome, Gooey! Much to my liking.
t Loren: How's the ring tone situation in China? I heard the Chinese love their mobiles.
Could be worse, Rissa. I found out that my mom was dancing to "Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy" ... at my wedding. >_< I guess that's what happens when you have your first glass of wine in 20 years.
I hate ringing phones, so I always just leave my phone on vibrate, as any civilized person should do.
You fucking barbarians.
I can't feel my phone vibrate when it isn't in my pocket, or when I'm walking sometimes actually. I need a phone that causes a 3.0 earthquake when it vibrates.

Ah yes, a great song indeed. More than likely to become the next country classic.
(It does nice things to the dance floor though... usually.)

Or maybe one that just fires a tazer into your thigh.
Whenever anyone talks in a theater I wish I were a meaner person.
So I could just shout "Hey, shut the fuck up."
But I'm timid.
Indeed. Talking in cinemas should be one of those crimes that means you'll be spending time in the stocks.
You know, that sounds like a good idea. We really ought to revive the stocks as a method of punishing rudeness, littering, etc. Maybe more people would start being considerate of others for a change.

Do you still use the stocks? I think we should start that up again.
The man might not, but I do.
I'm sure that I heard somebody actually suggest bringing them back recently. I think they're a good answer to crimes which are basically somebody being an asshat. Slap 'em in the stocks for a day. Job done. Just make sure that every cluster of stocks has a police man (or one of those impotent community support officers) watching over it so the criminals don't get raped or anything.

Sounds good to me. 'Rissa's got the right of it, too.
Oh man, finally met another nerd at my school yesterday. I had to give him shit for being a /b/tard, though. He was like "Well, I can usually leave it in my bookmarks bar because no one who comes over knows what 4chan is."
In return though, I revealed that I am a Narutard. Revealing your private shame to someone with an equally henious blot on their very soul is a good way to bond.
There's a special level in hell. A level they reserve for child molesters... and people who talk at the theater.
Zoë Washburne: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about... killing?
Book: Quite specific. It is however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.
God I love Book.

Oh, and the Season 3 box is released in a month. Should give me enough time to watch season 1-2 before I buy it.
Lost is great, and I cannot wait for the fourth series to get cracking. Especially as they promised to be less retarded this year and not put in three or four "mid-season breaks".
I'm really tempted to try and rewatch everything before the fourth series starts.

Awkwarddddd.....

I also liked my ringtone of the opening riff of Thunderstruck by AC/DC.

Service is crazy good, though.
Ah yes, a great song indeed. More than likely to become the next country classic.

And they tend to talk to people on their mobiles.... wait for it... in the theatre!

But she said no no no!

Yeah, she really won't go go go.
Such a daddy's girl, that one.

You know, a lot of the people who talk in the theatre are children...
