Back in the U.S.A.

nobody@vox.com(kimchee) — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 04:06:23 -0800

This is my first update in about 8 months. Vox is one of many web sites blocked in China and I have had to abandon this site for a while. I have only been back in the U.S. for about a day. Right now, it is about 4:30 am (thanks jetlag!). Shang...

Cat Vomit Sign

nobody@vox.com(kimchee) — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 07:13:43 -0800

How funny is this? I only wish that these came in packs of 3 since my cat, when he pukes, likes to be thorough and get all entry points of the room. Available from PETA.

Who are these people?

nobody@vox.com(kimchee) — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 15:55:13 -0800

We're selling our house, which has made us accelerate a few home renovation projects. Specifically, we tore down hideous wallpaper in the dining room and hall bathroom. Here's a sample of the lovely stuff in the hall bath: Who goes into a wall...

I've been tagged by kcat. According to the rules, I am supposed to share 5 facts about myself and then tag 5 more people. This reminds me of an exercise in the 4th grade where the teacher passed around a roll of toilet paper, telling us to rip o...

Where is the Prime Number Shitting Bear?

nobody@vox.com(kimchee) — Sun, 28 Jan 2007 07:06:17 -0800

One of my favorite internet distractions is the aptly named Prime Number Shitting Bear. Guess what it does. The PNSB was hosted by a Finnish student and sadly, the link no longer works. If anyone can help me find the PNSB, I'd be eternally gra...

In which a stray cat from Albuquerque goes to China...

nobody@vox.com(kimchee) — Mon, 22 Jan 2007 19:23:36 -0800

As previous posts may have indicated, my cat is very important to me. We first met in Albuquerque, NM, about 8 years ago. My husband and I were newlyweds living in an apartment on ABQ's west side. We are both cat-lovers and wanted to get one, e...

Packing Up Joe-Topia

nobody@vox.com(kimchee) — Sat, 20 Jan 2007 07:41:36 -0800

My husband is an avid collector of 3¾-inch G.I. Joe action figures (THEY ARE NOT DOLLS!!!). In anticipation of our move to China, he bought 1000 4x6-inch bags and is planning on putting each figure, with its stand and weapons, in its own bag. ...

I so need this

nobody@vox.com(kimchee) — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 18:44:24 -0800

We found this supplement in a Shanghai grocery store. Although photos are forbidden, we had to sneak a quick shot of this. The back of the package has a group of happy people in gowns and mortarboards tossing their diplomas in the air. I am in...

Mysterious Lump

nobody@vox.com(kimchee) — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 16:52:33 -0800

Sorry to disappoint but this isn't about my latest medical malady. Rather, it is about the 10-lb cat that I have to routinely shake out of my newspapers and bed sheets.
