Feeling a bit ropey.
Went to The Globe quiz, only there wasn’t a quiz, so we ended up having a couple in there then moving on. I think Shandyman may have been scarred for life after I told him to do a quick ‘eyes right’. About a foot away was a huge arse crack looking right at him.
Into LKF to show my brother the ropes. Quiet night. Few in Bar Sergio Georgini and then a bit of singing in Hardy’s followed by band watching in Insomnia and Dusk ’till Dawn.
Nice easy midweek intro to the delights of HK. We did have one casualty though, with one lad feeling ‘a bit sick’ today.
So, races the neet then maybe Crazy Indo Doris. Come on Milly.
So I stupidly got on the back of a motorbike whilst a leeetle bit drunk. The girl had had a few too, but said she wasn’t drunk. This was the girl who said, “See … no accident, so no drunk!” when we made it home. Riiiight.
Anyway, here it is. [Zipped, MOV, 5.28MB]
Hanzi Smatter 一知半解 is a site “Dedicated to the misuse of Chinese characters (Hanzi or Kanji) in Western culture.”
Pretty interesting and sometimes funny. E.g., the guy in the black leather jacket is wearing a t-shirt that says “testicle”.
Anyone else notice that the definition link on Google has changed from dictionary.com to answers.com? I noticed last week. Kottke has more info here and here. It’s better:
On one page, they list not only the definition of a word, but also the thesaurus entry, the Wikipedia entry (if applicable), translations into more than 10 languages (including Greek, Arabic, Chinese, and Hebrew), and some related topics

The Kleptones, who brought us the brilliant Night At The Hip Hopera, are at it again with “From Detroit To J.A”. I simply cannot wait to hear it. I think I listened to Hip Hopera for a week solid.
Oooh, Eric Kleptone has a blog. I wonder what this sounds like?
Will have Reviewy Samui up sometime this week. Lots to write, but lots to do. Brother is here in HK too, so a bit busy. I will, however, post the edited vid of my drunken bike ride tonight.
On a dark Samui highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of cocunuts
Rising up through the air
Sick of Von Dutch t-shirts I have to say. Well maybe not.
A new HK blog. Mainly about the research projects that HK people demand!
As I am quite sure the more perceptive reader would have gathered by now, the behaviour of the HK Chinese drives the current writer to the point of utter distraction
I hope the writer takes a look at the queue that forms on the Mid Levels Escalator at lunchtime near the Octopus $2 machine and lift queueing behaviour.
