Chicago Beijing: October 2009
http://chicagobeijing.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 16, 2009. Grading is pretty unpleasant, but now and then there's something really sweet. I was reading essays written by my first year Chinese students on the theme of "my hero". Their vocabulary is still very basic- they really can't say very much at all. But here's one that was. just. awww. My hero is my mom. She is fifty years old. She is a college student.". 我的英雄是我妈妈。她五十岁。她是大学生。 Sunday, October 11, 2009. Sister of My Heart. It is written for the writer, not for some unimaginable reader.

Chicago Beijing: Mining Towns (Jiufen, Jinguashi)
http://chicagobeijing.blogspot.com/2012/07/jiufen-jinguashi.html
Thursday, July 26, 2012. Mining Towns (Jiufen, Jinguashi). That same weekend, I also went to Jiufen with one of my grad school classmates. Jiufen is an old mining town outside of Taipei. It was also the inspiration for the little town in the movie Spirited Away. Someone with more time than me made an awesome set of comparison shots. I didn't really take enough pictures to do the place justice, but here are a few. First, a couple of shots from the bus-stop in Ruifang. Narrow Passageway in Jiufen.

Saved by a dog. Dog is My Co-Pilot. A journal of dating, dogs, and dorky dramas…. April 26, 2007. Posted by Pilar under dating. If you can't laugh at yourself. Have you ever had days when you feel your brain is on fast-forward? My cell phone rang as I was pulling into the parking lot. I looked at the caller ID to make sure it wasn’t some foaming-at-the-mouth bride, and when I saw it was Mr. T I happily answered. 8220;What’s wrong? 8221; Mr. T asked. 8220;What are you looking for? 8221; he asked. I’...

Alright, losers, I started a blog. You happy now? Sunday, April 13, 2008. I was going through old bookmarks today and I found this gem. It's a few years old but it still made me smile when I watched it again. I don't have your email address, so I can't e-vite you, but you're still invited:. Http:/ www.cartoonistconspiracy.com/sushi/. 14 April, 2008. What separates the winners from the losers. Is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate. See the link below for more info. 10 May, 2016.

Alright, losers, I started a blog. You happy now?: May 2007

Alright, losers, I started a blog. You happy now? Monday, May 21, 2007. Pimped out like Indiana Jones. Eating, monkey touching, and river swimming goodness. Let's hope there will be no running away from anacondas or malaria-induced hallucinations. Check back in a few weeks for pictures. Sunday, May 20, 2007. Future comparison: Minnesota jungle. Friday, May 18, 2007. I guess I'm stressed. Looks like I'll have to start job hunting when I get back. Monday, May 14, 2007. I'm officially done with school.

Chicago Beijing: June 2012
http://chicagobeijing.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 27, 2012. Dragon Boat Festival and Library Day. These days I am so busy, it's hard to find time for sleep. Not busy in a bad way, of course, quite the reverse. The days are full of interesting learning and experiences. Saturday was Duanwu jie. I also noticed what I think was a Philippines team, wheeling around doing exercises and stretches. Meanwhile, our school provided an audience team. Well, every contest needs an audience, right? They were really fast. Maybe a type of cookie? You migh...

What was I thinking?: December 2006
http://milindoe.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
What was I thinking? Thursday, December 28, 2006. This won't be a year that I'll be sad to see go. It's been a drama-filled year, full of twists and turns not unlike an old, rickety, wooden roller coaster. Has challenged her readers to list 10 things they've learned this year, and I'm going to see if I can't rise to that challenge - and then some. Leaving the door open, without restrictions, continually invites them to step through and, eventually, they do. Artichokes aren't so bad after all. It's not fo...

http://milindoe.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
What was I thinking? Friday, May 26, 2006. Seems like I live for Fridays these days. My father got picked up yesterday by the Bath PD, for violation of the order of protection. He's now in the county jail where he will likely remain until his sentencing hearing on June 6th. And Memorial Day weekend kicks off camping season around here. So, we decided to cancel that reservation and reserve at Newtown Battlefield State Park. We're looking forward to getting away from all the responsibilities, family issues...
