"Mr. Wang Likes to Eat Foreign Languages"

[benlehman]

So the first FALCON exam (of four) is over. I think I did pretty well -- tones still escape me (my throat, more than my ears, these days) and the title above is an embarrassing mistake that I made on my Oral Exam (though Ethan might find it humorous.)

Supernatural events of late -- lights have been turning on around me, so much so that I can keep my nearly-burnt out bathroom fluorescent on by sheer force of will. Also, I have been finding socks and shoes all around (rather than gloves, right?) and the I-Ching gives me nothing but Yin.

Creative work --
Not much time for this, given Falcon, but I have managed to write some poems. I have an essay brewing about faith and scientific knowledge (not so much an argument as a way to sort out my own thoughts.) An idea for a long-text picture book has been floating around, as well as two tabletop game ideas, two novel developments, and something that might be one or the other. I don't have my poetry with me right now, so I can't post it, but I will post it eventually.

Strange boffer LARP ideas.

Life --
Will see Matt sometime this week, which is cool. Human contact minimal. I have concluded that no one is reading these posts, and that they exist strictly for myself as postcards to the void. Yes, that is a cheap ploy to get people to write to me. I don't care.
Still thinking about July 4th weekend in Pvd.

Speaking on behalf of myself and the void, I must say that we miss you and are glad you send us postcards.

You see, Wang xiansheng likes to eat foreign food and speak foreign languages. I just got my wires crossed :-)
