It was a tasteful Oscar De La Renta sportsjacket, with matching cuffed pants with a fine crease. Seriously disturbed the hairy bikers coming out of the truck stop. You could read their minds: (1) There goes the neighborhood. Or (2) Don't mess with the skinny dude in the weird outfit. It was the best send-off to an airport I've ever had. And yeah, when the hell *are* you going to write something on this page--this post is too dead to skin.

Your father was just here & I bitched to him....he said to tell you. We have some good pics of your old man on Bob's bike (the only person in AZ wearing tweed on a motorcycle had be to be him).

I just saw your name on a conference I am attending in Berkeley on China's Digital future. Are you here in person, or just virtually? If in person, give me an email or call me (just google my name and berkeley). thanks, What are you doing in Berkeley?

I bet that at least one of them would wear an expensive suit with the tag purposely left on the cuff. haha... booya! surprisingly, that bet got me more accolade on my "sinophilologyness" than my staying up until 5 freakin' am for two weeks working on materials for the meeting. 3. have you noticed that every middle-aged, literate person who's been through the cultural revolution has read Balzac? I met this dude, Papa Zhang, we called him, on my trip to JiuZhaiGou (think rickety mianbao van with lots of b.o. and me with two white boys from TX... there was no escaping that i was their whore, the entire bus decided, anyways...). He was from shandong and was a factor worker. but he friggin' quoted Cousin Bette like a CuiJian song (CuiJian was in NY recently... ). You should read Balzac. It's very impressive stuff, although Nabokov is still the babydaddy. hope you're well. holla 1. what exactly is a sinologist? like someone who’s downass chinese, so “tu” that they flake… but isn’t quite chinese…?

The whole message is about purity in purpose and pursuit, right? So you have to evaluate that in regards to your being a Sinologist. Being 10 weeks away from a degree i actually loved getting, i still see things i missed out on during the course of my studies. You have definitely avoided doing any missing out -- you've already had the chance to live abroad on your own, which is more than a lot of people can say for themselves. Would staying there really be "the middle course," concerned with the limited nature of life rather than chasing the limitless depth of knowledge. Or, alternately, could you be happy with a pursuing the knowledge that comes with a different end degree, even if your study of Chinese isn't reflected in it? As an aside from living your life via Zhuangzi's exhortations, the time factor in your equation seems like the biggest deal to me. What kind of time commitment does "transfer to Beida, (most likely) start over" actually consist of? Three years? Four? On the other hand, can you realistically finish a US degree in under two years? Is that financially feasible? And, finally, could you still get into the kind of Graduate work you want to do with a non-Chinese BA from a stateside school? I don't know if this is necessarily true of Grad language-based programs, but in general as much Grad school Admissions cares about your BA, they care more about your qualifying experiences. As nice as it would be to have you in the continental states again to guide me through menus in ChinaTown, i'd hate to think of you as feeling stuck here doing something that isn't your primary interest. In a way that's why you left in the first place, right? Sorry, i guess that didn't help at all, i'm just in a contemplative mood with graduation drawing near. Also, I can't seem to find your email on the site and needed to ask you something. Could you drop me a line when you read this? Well, i don’t think he’s telling you to drop out, that’s for sure.
