this effectively kills any chance I have at...
me: damn! why do so many of the better teaching jobs require you to be "a committed Christian"??
David: Doesn't sound legal to me. :P
me: dude it's so legit though
It goes like this:
Edna scrolls through a program
"Oh man this sounds fantastic!"
scrolls down to bottom to requirements
"yep, have that...got that...check"
"we require dedicated Christians"
FFFFFUUUUUU
voidzy: You could LIE
me: I'm debating it.
voidzy: If the pay is good enough..
me: this one, they even pay for transportation TO AND FROM your home which NEVER happens
David: Pfff
Done.
LOVE YOU JESUS

Sounds like a Six-Word Stories entry, but apparently this is a CNN article.

Official Google Blog: A new approach to China: an... →
So earlier today we stopped censoring our search services—Google Search, Google News, and Google Images—on Google.cn. Users visiting Google.cn are now being redirected to Google.com.hk, where we are offering uncensored search in simplified Chinese, specifically designed for users in mainland China and delivered via our servers in Hong Kong.
A massive Google-China battle rages tonight.
Also, Hong...

Democrats, fuck yeah
Health care reform has passed the House!!!
I’m so ridiculously giddy about this!!
Also, I have never been in my life been so tense as when I was watching the votes come in on C-SPAN. (I have also never watched so many hours of C-SPAN. Or yelled at the TV while watching…C-SPAN.)
I really wish I was 21 so I could go out and celebrate!!

It tells us 3 of the saddest love stories:
Tangent lines- who had one chance to meet and then parted forever.
Parallel lines- who were never meant to meet.
and Asymptotes- who can get closer and closer but will never be together.
I think parallel lines are the saddest of all.

Every freaking time
I walked in for a birthday card.
I walked out with $70 worth of merchandise. And no birthday card.

“Stop eating so much cereal! You need to drop some pounds. [feign shock] Hey,...”
– Mom (in jest). She’s totally right though. I have at least 7 different kinds of cereal in my apartment and it’s pretty much the only thing I eat at school.

I can't believe I've joined the bandwagon
So tonight’s been one massive giant ridiculous holy-shit-I’m-graduating-in-two-months freakout. I was gonna post some quotes, cause I thought they were funny, then I realized they just make me seem insanely paranoid.*
I’ve managed to keep it cooler than ice til now -“Psh, you guys are all overreacting. Shut up already, we’ll be fiiiine”- but I’m finally...

Oh Shanghaiist, my Shanghaiist
foreignexposure:
REVIEW OF THE BLOG I WRITE FOR: SHANGHAIIST.COM
“Shanghaiist boasts writers that could do stories for Newsweek or some other high powered international magazine. […] The design is easy on the eyes despite the high number of ads. This is no easy feat. Without fail, however, I find myself focused on the story and not the surroundings. Though they write a lot, and a lot of the...

the bubble explained
A change was needed.
Everyone and their mother now refers to China’s booming economy as a “bubble,” which started to make me cringe every time I looked at my tumblr.
So I’ve changed the URL to plain old ednacz, which I suppose I’m okay with anyway. This is my personal site, and it’s not always going to revolve around China, especially as I’m graduating...

“WTF? She’s Asian, she’s supposed to believe in science!”
– my friend Amiekay, upon our discovery just now that my (13 year old) sister doesn’t believe in global warming
wait a minute
I was watching that Oscar memorial tribute when I heard the phrase, “Years from now when you talk about this - and you will - be kind.”
Turns out it comes from the 1956 movie, Tea and Sympathy.
DAN BROWN, YOU’RE A RIP-OFF

oh thank god fooood
So I’m home for Spring Break, and I don’t recall ever being this ridiculously happy about having a hot, home-cooked dinner. I mean I only live 40 minutes away from school, so I’m home quite often for the odd meal or two.
I think it’s because this semester, I decided to scrap the school meal plan, meaning I’ve actually had to feed myself. As I have the cooking skills...

Thanks, Google Voice
I just texted my sleeping roommate via email and asked her to wake me up in the morning before she leaves for student teaching, instead of getting up, finding my phone, and setting an alarm for myself. And now I’m Tumblring about it. This is my life

Washington DC
So I’m in DC for the night. Tomorrow, along with some other Poli Sci seniors, we’re going to the Supreme Court to hear oral arguments, then have a private meeting with Justice Scalia. (Our dept does this every year; two years ago I met Justice Breyer.)
I just wanted to remark on two things:
1. The hotel Etown provided is HUGE. They are SUITES. These suites are bigger than my...
