all of china is on break this coming week. the people go on vacation. things close down. factories close down. factories close down. thank heavens. that means i get a reprieve from working. (yes, it's sunday. and i'm working. yes, i worked yesterday. yes, i cannot handle more than five minutes of adversity.) it's a brilliant idea, this one week off for the whole country thing.



bright and early tomorrow morning, i'm off to shanghai. i'm going to try to not to blog while i'm away. yes, it's dangerous. yes, i'm mentally prepared. no, i probably won't die. sorry. in the meantime, i have prepared a special guest blogger. because my blog will be lonely without someone to pet it. so be ready...and try not to miss me. because i will be happy. away from soldering.

gaga talked a few weeks back about how she checks and re-checks her blogs over and over again. and i hate to admit it, but i do it too. alot. i'll re-read what i wrote and suddenly, glaring grammer errors and natural apostrophe disasters will leap out at me. and that type of guilt has staying power. so i end up changing tiny little details over and over again.



it's like video editing. even though something's only half a fraction of a wee bit off, i have to tinker with it. even though nobody outside of my own ego circle will notice. it's my small way of minimizing the casualties of carelessness and insufficient knowledge. i would like to pass all this off as perfectionism but i know it's not. it smacks of hidden insecurities. it borders on the pathetic. it's a dreary existence. my high school english teacher would be so proud.



as the first brave step towards ditching this time sucking habit, i'm gonna intentionally misspell a word and leave it here. for eternity. fcuk.

I feel really shallow. The things i've been thinking about, revolve all around the same issues everyone always thinks about. Friendships. Relationships. Future occupation-ships. Hardships. It's a never ending cycle of analyze, criticize and re-prioritize. It kind of gets mad boring. I'm sick of being me. As a friend said, "I feel like an old record on repeat."

So if you feel this way, why don't you do something about it?

What am i supposed to do? The only time i think about tons of other stuff is when i'm engaged in a book or something. When i get inspired or fired up to think and tackle big issues. Like why the world goes round-and-round. Instead of what makes the world go round-and-round, and how i fit into it.

We're kind of a selfish generation and culture by default. I think it's okay to dwell on all those ships you mentioned. But if u have to do something more stimulating, then read more.

I see your dilemma.

I'll just have to go on thinking about myself. Damn.

so with all this cartoon madness going on, i've been thinking about...cartoons. and it occured to me that the most unhappy smurf in all of smurfville must of been handy smurf. (aside from brainy who always got booted upside the head. and grumpy, who by nature was probably unhappy with everything). poor handy must of gotten all the crap work that the other smurfs didn't want to do. all the housework. the trash dumping. the dish cleaning. the re-patching of the mushroom roofs. i mean, everyone must of loved him because all they had to say was "hey, you're handy! come do this!" and he couldn't refuse. because that was his niche in smurf society. i bet all the other smurfs called him "bitch" behind his back.





(i just realized that grumpy was a dwarf. so of course he was unhappy in smurfville. what was the depressed smurf called again?)

watched this chinese detective show where they used flies to catch the killer. they had all the chefs (the main suspects) line up with their knives, and then released a bag of flies. whichever knife the flies flocked to, that was the killer. ingenious. not very scientific. fraught with legal complications. but ingenious.
