The Slow Become Slower

ALBANY, N.Y. - I may be on America's East Coast, but the Taiwanese earthquake slowed down my Web surfing. My attempts to check the progress of my language school applications - never an easy process - the last two days have loaded at one-quarter or less of their regular sluggish pace.

I think I'll take a couple days off from Baidu MP3 search as well. That means no more cheesy Chinese disco-pop songs until the New Year.



(The above video is for a New Years song by the China Dolls, whom I know nothing about.)
