"If the day and the night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal- that is your success. All nature is your congratulation, and you have cause momentarily to bless yourself. The greatest gains and values are farthest from being appreciated. We easily come to doubt if they exist. We soon forget them. They are the highest reality. Perhaps the facts most astounding and most real are never communicated by man to man. The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched." - Henry David Thoreau

| s�bado, seis de diciembre, 2003 Och. Snow, snow y más snow. It just got worse as I started to type this. New York's probably the prettiest when it snows a lot, because there aren't teems of people and clots of cars in the sidewalks and streets. I'll just sit in the middle of a park (NOT Central Park) and watch the snow. El otoño es mi estación favorita, pero el invierno es segundo. No me gusta la primavera y el verano. I abhor them. It's just so... warm. Yech. I went out yesterday, but I'm staying in today, drink a lot of hot niu wei soup , and watch those DVDs I bought yesterday in the twirling snow.
"We must go forward, not backward, upward, not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!"
Oh, and I am seriously pondering about contemplating leaving... I like nutang, but I have other online things to maintain (e.g., a site, another weblog I write in with much more gusto, trying to keep my e-mails to under 100, but is still at 200+, etc.). I don't really write much here anyway, and am pretty much alone. We (I) shall see...

I need some more interesting friends. On the topic of drag queens, I met my first today, on the subway, no less. Dunno if it was a transvestite... but definitely a cross-dresser. The big-bonedness and the facial stubble gave it away; also the patellas (kneecaps) were protruding in a rather un-feminine fashion. We got off at the same stop and I was surprised I was (slightly) taller than him! And he was wearing platforms!! He had very nice hair, though. I've seen some pretty hot Thai transvestites from photos my friend had took when she was in Thailand, but this person was like on the opposite side of the spectrum. Sorry, person... danhai nei jun hai ho wut dut (nay jeen hai ho chiew yeang [danshi ni zhen shi hao chou (pero usted es muy feo)])!!!

I will possibly recount this adventure. Meanwhile, I'm bored bored bored in summertime, but I love languages.
quand tu me prends dans te bras quand je regarde dans tes yeux je vois qu'un Dieu existe c'est pas dur d'y croire
antes de conocerte el mundo era plano aunque lo discuta usted Señor Galilei y me cansé de besar ranas en vano pero el príncipe azul jamás lo encontré
y así llegaste tú devolviéndome la fe sin poemas y sin flores con defectos con errores pero en pie
y siento algo en ti algo en entre los dos que me hace insistir cuando miro en tus pupilas se que Dios no dejo de existir tú lo haces vivir
la vida es una colección de recuerdos pero nada como tú recuerdo tan bien de la redondez que tienen tus labios al olor de tu pelo el color de tu piel
no pienses que dirás y me voy a resignar eres lo mejor que me ha pasado entre lo mundano y lo sagrado y aun más
y siento algo en ti algo en entre los dos que me hace insistir cuando miro en tus pupilas se que Dios no dejo de existir tú lo haces vivir
quand tu me prends dans te bras quand je regarde dans tes yeux je vois qu'un Dieu existe c'est pas dur d'y croire
