This morning, a lovely 70-year-old lady helped me carry an abandoned side table that I’d found by the side of the road and decided to “re-appropriate” (yes, it’s my new buzzword). I know. She’s 65-70 years old. I tried to protest, ok? I’m not proud of it. She had her adorable grandson with her, who […]

HOO-HIPPY-RAY! You’ve started a business! You’ve signed a few deals. Sold some shits. Shaken all those grubby hands. You’ve got it made! You’re on your way up! You’re rollin’ in the hunnies! But wait. WHERE’S THE MONEY? In Business Lessons from the ‘Hai Part 1, I’ve described how important it is to have […]

In the City That Rains Champagne, admittedly for an exalted few, business opportunities abound and barriers to entry are low. But you know what they say, getting in there is easy, it’s the squalling little brat popping out after nine months that’s tough to handle. This post will be one in a series of business […]

My reaction to this trippy, futuristic hip-hop group was so weird, I couldn’t understand it at all. When I first heard “An Echo from the Hosts that Profess Infinitum” I was in a crowded subway being pushed and prodded from every damn direction.

I love being cheap! Being painfully stingy is the only way I can indulge guilt-free in important things like 30rmb Baker and Spice mochas and 35rmb Hof chocolate cupcakes. How else would I be able to support the behemoths of capitalism that keep the world running wastefully and often very unethically? St*rbucks needs your help, […]

Victory Parade, y’all! Parts 1-4 in the previous posts. _____________ Part 5 Rollin’ in Smug: DJ Khaled “All I Do is Win” Duh, because asswipery is in the house.

Part 4 of me being awesome (well, at queuing in China, that is). Part 1, Part 2, Part 3. _____________ Part 4 Mutually Assured Destruction Freddie Gibbs “Let them Burn” Freddie Gibbs is one of the brightest young rappers of recent years. His storytelling is poignant and mesmerizing. It’s like Dangerous Minds without the […]

Part 3 of how I Rule the Queue. _____________ Fight Club Begins: My Enemies Will Learn to Fear Me Jay-Z “On to the Next One” Apart from this track having one of the gorgeous-est, sexiest mvs I’ve ever seen – the black-and-white is a genius standout – Jay-Z’s lyrics are gospel in this situation. “I […]

This is Part 2 of my Rule the Queue series. Read Part 1 here. Part 2: The Hell-Race Kicks Off Ludcris feat. Nicki Minaj “My Chick Bad” Yeah, Ludacris tells them like it is. And so do I. This chick SO BAD YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW. (I mean, when it come to queue-observances, that is.) […]

So I live in Shanghai, and everyone who knows me knows I love it. The “Survival” guide is a crock of shit; I can’t say for other cities, but in Shanghai there’s not much surviving needed – it’s a very easy and lovely city to live in. Also, judging from the club scene every weekend […]
