- Shares Winter, sun, and deserts
- I hate the cold. Every year I feel kind of sad all through the winter, and once spring comes, everything seems so much more hopeful. I hate winter. I don't like winter clothes either, they make me feel itchy and fidgety. I don't like the cold winds, or the white skies. ...
- Shares A book I've been reading: Maurice
- A couple of years ago, I read a book by E.M. Forster, and really enjoyed it. It seemed both quirkier and sweeter than most of the classic literature I'd read previously, and not at all dry. So I looked into other books by Forster, and heard about one book in particular that I was very in ...
- Shares Television and Today
- So, I should be doing any of hundreds of useful important productive things, but I am not. I should be researching grad schools; I should be emailing old coworkers, networking or something; I should be out making friends. But doing those things leaves lots of space for thinking. An ...
- Shares misery etc
- LIFE HURTS SO MUCH. So. Obviously, as with all trauma, all depression... there are good days, and there are bad days. Some days, I keep busy and do useful things, and am able to interact with other people, and make plans, and have positive thoughts about the future, and don't cry ...
- Shares A book I've been reading: The Graveyard Book

- Shares Last night; Happy New Year
- Last night was New Year's Eve here. I spent it at home in my mom's house, with her and my brother and his wife. We drank champagne and watched TV. It was nice, and it was hard, too. I wished I was in New York City where my best friend is, and where hundreds of wonderful parti ...
- Shares Winter Interlude
- Sorry I haven't been writing. It's been kind of busy with family and holidays. When I do want to write, it's just more depressing stuff, and I'd really like to balance depressing posts with some happy posts. So.... what's happy? Well. It's pretty here. It snowed y ...
- Shares Landing, and aftermath
- When I landed in JFK airport in NYC, I was exhausted from the long flight. I hadn't been able to sleep, because I had to keep reading a novel the whole time. If I stopped reading, I started thinking, and if I started thinking, Iwould cry. I was leaving China, leaving my ho ...
