I’m back at the hostel this weekend, teaching myself MySQL. The ice-storm Friday layered sidewalks with black ice, frosted trees and streetsigns, but I still went out with a hosteller in from WI. We had an excellent time over fish & chips and clam strips; made me want to visit Eastern Europe sooner instead of later. So … to tide you over until I start taking winter pictures:

For Joel: The straight dude’s guide to ‘Brokeback’

For Katie and other ladies: Keith and Jake

From Bill: Russian Parkour

For Chris: A Few Flies Get In

NOTES: A fellow I met on the AT wrote that last story about the missadventures of ex-pats in Beijing during the Tiananmen Massacre. Recent events in Dongzhou inspired this reading. The Russian video clip is not corrupt, despite early appearances—as long as the music keeps on, you are golden. I’ve selected pictures of Keith and Jake that will not make you gay. I repeat, they will not make you gay.

  2. Your safety is my number one priority! Also, I’ve changed the picture (from this)

  3. I read the short story at 3am, on whim while link-surfing. So incredibly, incredibly sad.
