baby got back

Hello. Hi. HI! Hey, you over there -- yeah, you, the one with the MacBook and the rumpled copy of the left-wing newspaper. Put your latte down and PAY ATTENTION TO ME!

That's better. I know I've been gone a while -- almost three months, in fact. I've been all over Yunnan and Yurrup with nary a blog post to show for it. But I've been busy, you see.

First, I travelled to the Thai border to meet the man I will call the Third Canadian, for reasons known to anyone who's been keeping a-tit of my sex life. Then I moved in with him. Then I came back to Cambridge to (*gasp*) work on my PhD thesis. In between library visits I made a flying visit to Berlin to talk pots, pans and politics with the Epicure.

More soon. Charmaine X: meta-blograstination.*

Like spam,* it's almost poetry: a T-shirt in Kunming exhorts "chunkily-penised boys" to "do her right... to her good". Seduce her with Chinglish!


*Freestyle spam e-mail poetry? Spam lunchmeat haiku? It's all good.
