wild swans / jung chang

  • She was a pious Buddhist and every day in her prayers asked Buddha not to reincarnate her as a woman. “Let me become a cat or a dog, but not a woman,” was her constant murmur as she shuffled around the house, oozing apology with every step.
  • It began: "Please accept my apologies that come a lifetime too late."

february

  • 0213: realized i left my passport pick-up receipt at turen and went to the office at seven pm. it was locked, naturally. spent the next few hours frantically contacting everyone and anyone to find someone with a key still in beijing. not an easy task when it's chinese new year's and veritably nobody is a local. andrew and hongqian managed to put me in contact with someone.
  • 0214: went to the office in the morning and turns out the studio was unlocked by the cleaning crew. crisis averted.
    • watched the wolverine, terrible movie.
  • 0215: figured out that i have athlete's foot and picked up some medicine for it. also possibly allergic to china. tomorrow morning i'm heading to the embassy, with fingers crossed that my passport has arrived.
