Once upon a time this blog was about a maniac gone awry and the interesting things she found and did. Then it became a blog detailing my life in China for a year. I tried to maintain it when I returned Stateside, and I did for a while, but I found life wasn't nearly as exciting. After much thought, I went back to China - this time for almost 3 years and you'll find several posts about that adventure. Now I am back in the good ole US of A(indefinitely) and my blog is mostly about how horrible of a writer I am because no one will publish my stories. I occasionally talk about my side projects - my audiobooks and the things I cook/bake up in the kitchen. And maybe one day it will be about being a mom because I can now share that experience. Who knows where this blog(or me for that matter) will be in five years, but I'll try to keep it entertaining.
I’m not sure who this little guy is, but there were a lot of “statues” of him in a mall I walked into. Probably from some TV show or something like it. It looks like he is enjoying his ramen bath.
I’ve been to the same shopping center in May 2012!
I did not understand why this crazy-eyed character was always inside or over food. Eating disorders?

In a city like Shanghai, you’d think they’d be able to find people to help translate their signs. I understand the one on the left, but the “three cars” in the second one is throwing me for a loop. Maybe it means vehicles with three wheels aren’t allowed in?
This is one of the articles written about me in the magazine I posted a few day ago. It’s all in Chinese, obviously, so I apologize if you can’t read it. I can’t read it either. Hopefully, they are saying nice things about me.
It says you’re a specialist in linguistics from SC, and a bunch of other things such as your past language teaching experience in China. Nothing exciting really.
