It's currently 12:43 am here. Feeling really depressed lately, don't know why, just a funk. Missing michigan a lot. Send vernors, send JDilla, send me Detroit Comedy, send me Detroit theater and arts.

My wife and I haven't made a commitment to living here, but an "open arrangement" of 3 years and I am already feeling a pull to go back home. Honestly, I think I just miss my friends.

You're in Xi'an, right? Go hit muslim street and buy a bowl of those spicy little potatoes and post a picture here and tell me how amazingly delicious they are (because I found them amazingly delicious and crave them often).

I know that didn't offer much in the way of a solution for homesickness... but hey - spicy potatoes are a nice distraction!

I was in Xi'ian, back in Shanghai now. I did hit up that Muslim street though and GODDAMN that was some good eats. I wish we would have taken more pictures on that street but I had this lamb sandwich thing that I still think about and some pomegranate tea. It was like the perfect amount of salty and sweet. So many great smells.

Have you been to the 1933 Slaughterhouse? I went there about five years ago. It was far out.

There is also Tianzifang.
