hey blog, sorry it's been a while. the fact of the matter is, china has blocked blogspot again and i'm so angry i can't bear to go to blogger. well that's not exactly it, but when blogspot's down i feel like i'm blogging into the void, and i never see the words i type again. okay, that's also not true, because i can always anonymouse it (anonymouse, for those of you who don't know, lets you see blocked pages.) maybe it's because anonymouse doesn't let me see people's comments on my blog, or because i'm just too lazy to add the extra step of going to that site first to get to see my site. point being, i've pulled my shit together and i'm updating.
first of all, dandan's been reading the talmud. she's really into it, and keeps asking me if i've read it. also, she keeps asking me if my parents really put honey on my books when i was little. and for some reason she never believes me when i say no. haha.
also, the other night i went to see a drag queen/cross dresser perform, with my friend isaac who works in publishing. he's trying to get this chinese photographer/writer to write a book about beijing's gay scene, and the guy wanted him to come see this show. it was sooo awesome. the guy had on this huge amazing curly wig, and wore a dress that was lace on top and feathers on the bottom. he sang classical chinese songs, but he had this piano player backing him up, and i swear i thought he was going to break into showtunes at any moment. the writer guy had some flowers to give to him, but he just kept on singing and then it was late and we had to go, so we never got the chance to say hi to him, which was a shame. i believe tonight we are going to go to a party that the writer guy's company is throwing, so i'm thinking it will be an awesome chance to meet some crazy alternative lifestyle people.
