good morning sugarland
Oh, the longer I go without posting anything the harder it is to find something worthy. Let Mr Jared ease my transition back to regular fireside chatting.
In other news, I talked to my beloved homeland agent last week: "Elyse, how would you feel about a month working in Shenzhen, China? I can get you a lucrative contract, but it's going to be hard work. Like, three jobs per day hard work. Maybe too hard work. But think about it."
I've worked in China many, many times before, but never for more than three days, and the work is always very strenuous. But I'm sticking to my It Ain't Coal Mining Scale of Modeling Work Difficulty, and I'm going to do it. Adventures will happen; stuff will get snacked upon. Lurid public art will be scoffed at. I'm going directly from Seoul to SZ (do not stop in Hong Kong, do not collect 500mL of Malted Vitasoy).
About a year ago, I remember reading that the People's Republic of China had blocked access to Livejournal.com from within the country. (Here is Wired's article about it.) Since then, I've had LJ comments to the effect of, "Ugh, it sucked when I was in China and couldn't access LJ," but also several like, "Hi from China!" Does anybody know the real deal? Is LJ blocked, and if so, can someone suggest a way that I can still blog when in 'Zhen?
Finally, O Korea, thou art home to the world's best socks.
