Well, wordpress has now been unblocked in China for about month. I switched over to blogspot and renamed the blog, but now that wordpress is unblocked, I’ll keep blogging here. I like wordpress dashboard system considerably more than blogspot’s. I have recenly starting using twitter though which I think has made me blog a lot less. 140 characters and all that…

I’ve also decided to just go ahead and use the name I made for the other blog here. ‘Over and Out’ never had any real meaning anyway, it just seemed bloggy. To be honest though, 破釜沉舟 doesn’t really have any special meaning for me either. I just like the sound of it. In case you’re wondering, it’s a 成语 or chéng yǔ, a four character Chinese idiom that derives its meaning from a historoical or literary story. In this case, the literal meaning is ‘break the pots and sink the boats’ and is a reference to going into battle without looking back or planning on necessarily coming out alive. It’s used kind of like ‘burning bridges’.

Anyway, I’ve changed themes out of boredom. Maybe someday I’ll get around  to making a real damn website. But yeah…probably not.

I’ll continue ranting about studying Chinese and talking about my pipe dreams in the near future.
