I saw

a dead baby bird on the ground the other day. Its body was tiny, the size of a half pinky, raw and blue. Five feet away was its nest, shattered from impact when it broke off from the roof of my highrise.
I hope its mother never knew.

My words rained over you, stroking you.
A long time I have loved the sunned mother-of-pearl of your body.
I go so far as to think that you own the universe.
I will bring you happy flowers from the mountains, bluebells,
dark hazels, and rustic baskets of kisses.
I want
to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.

1. Do not pay any attention to the rules other people make. They make them for their own protection and to hell with them.

2. Write the kind of stories you feel like writing. Forget everybody who ever wrote anything.

3. Learn to typewrite so you can turn out stories as fast as Zane Grey.

are you in?

I'm in a rush so I'm not posting any links, but have y'all heard of Nike's collabo with De la Soul and other fine acts to produce R.U.N., music for working out??? shiz on fire, why hasn't anyone thought of this before? It's laced with subliminal messaging motivating a harder work out, eg the title "Are you in?" aka. R. U. N. get it? cop it on itunes.

I just got back from 5 days in Inner Mongolia and Datong, sorted through 900 pics and found 39 gems which will be posted v v soon.

It is 30 degrees C in Beijng. jigga whaaaaat, this weather is screaming patio but the closest this city's got is the rooftop of the Bridge cafe, where people "learn chinese" and "do homework". boring.

Really really miss summer in Toronto this year. I sometims think about Jamie Kennedy poutine of the day. Or peameal bacon sandwhich at St. Lawrence. Or jewish bread at Kensington. And I get hungry.

I also miss you all!!

I am leading two food tours of my own tommorrow, one at 11.30 through the hutongs at Houhai, and the other at 7pm through the nightmarket at Wangfujin. Stalk me if you're around! How sick is this job? I get paid, AND eat for freeeeeeeee b*tchhhh
