china

i got this stamp from a postcard mailed to me from the UNESCO site of lijiang in southern china. the trader's since moved to hong kong, so no more cool lijiang postcards and stamps. :-(

i'm totally interested in china, especially her economic potential. china looks mighty exotic and forbidding from way out here in the cold, dumb dull west. ahahaha.

the scifi series firefly - sooooooo cool, ahaha - and its continuing movie serenity feature a reality several millennia in the future. humans have now colonized every inch of the universe, and everyone's a bounty hunter of everyone else. ahahaha. but their main languages are english, and... and... mandarin. coooool.

but it's not cool how fox cancelled the series after only one season. (i can see why josh whedon wanted to air it on fox instead of the scifi channel; networks are always better-paying and cast a wider net, ahaha.) fans retaliated by downloading the whole 14 episodes from online somewhere. now we have to buy a DVD burner, ahahaha. ... but ya, china will some day rule the world. ahahaha.  ¶ 11/15/2005 11:58:00 PM
