I always forget a title


I fear that China may be turning my creative juices in to rancid mud.

I haven't been able to make anything even remotely creative since I got here. I feel like I have no muse at all. Not even my usual creative fuel, coffee, is helping. I hope this drought doesn't last long... I only have 4 weeks of vacation left before I gotta go back to mind-numbing teaching again.

In other news: I'm off to Wuhan tomorrow to buy some foreign groceries. It's damn expensive, but a little slice of home is worth it. Perhaps a few new comforts of home will give me some creative insights.

Teachers in the US get 10 weeks. TEN weeks!

Oh, and my vacation isn't paid, either. So it's like being unemployed for two months. Scary.
