Yet another unrefuted blog crush... on Trish of Trouvais. How does she find all these gorgeous images and how many is too many to have stolen??:

Ridiculous and a half!
It'd be really nice if somebody made donkey-themed furniture so that I could call it redonkulous.
Reminds me of the Bird Feet Candlesticks I blogged about so long ago.

I forgot to bring any English books with me. I picked up One Hundred Years of Solitude after my brother finished it. I finished it in a fury during our internet-less trip to Guilin. So many characters of the same names: Arcadios and Jose Arcadios and Aurelianos and Aureliano Joses...Amarantas and Remedios. I'd never enjoyed confusion more than while reading this. Dying of love, ghosts, levitating to heaven while hanging up the laundry, bastard children, gypses, SIESTAS...almost the same sort of magical realism as That Other Guy whom I know my peeps love.

Back to sweet sweet SF for a day and a half (and then school for ever)!!

Plans
When sweet Superbed's days are over, I'm going to stuff my bed at the window-end of a single, hang a shower rod, and drape off the area with heavy curtains.
Really like the triptych hung on ribbons:
Where can I even find a bed corona?
Ahh...makes we wish I bought the single panel of emerald green curtain at Jeremy's this summer.

On January 5th, two things happened
I almost got run over by a motorbike when I had green.
Actually, this happens several times a day.
Second: Buying stationary and fine-tipped pens are among my favorite things to do, but that day it sank my spirit and made me regret where I was.
I was crowded in a corner flipping through notebooks. Standing up straight, I backed lightly into some cardboard structure, which somehow sent some woman's cup of water flying, onto her pants, and into her spare boots. Ugly boots. Got yelled at. I was tempted to yell back, but when every one is so aggressive, all I feel is silent and apologetic agitation. (I've lost the combative urge?)
Lady was a b. Would not stop hollering to her coworkers about me until they told her to shutup because she was so embarrassing. Bad for business! Accordingly, I bought 4 fewer "Wonderful Hapy Daiy" notebooks than I had originally planned :)

I need to learn Shanghainese. Really resent feeling foreign, easy to beguile, and dependent. Ohg dammit - I just remembered that I know a lot of curse words in Shanghainese.
Additionally, the single children here have got to be the most egotistical little bastards. Darting eyeballs and swollen cheeks. My little brother is so great - although the chubby cheeks certainly apply :)
But most importantly, I'd forgotten how delicious the yogurt is here! And I love the market stalls so much - too fresh and abundant to believe.
