Merry Merry Everyone!
Colder than cold in Beijing. I walked out to take a big hike over to the Lama Temple, and went about 100 meters before I turned around. Did not have enough clothing on. Not even with my new uber thin silver magic Uniquo down jacket was it even remotely pleasant. This is like Canada cold. Chicago cold. Milwaukee. Biting, dry, vaporize your fingers, shatter your teeth kinda temperatures. Or maybe I’m not wearing enough…But, because the wind howled and gushed last night, us Beijingers enjoyed a big blue bowl sky with white winter light cascading upon our grey brown metropolis.

Grateful crazy happy I am about to head to warm, wet, kind weather of Florida. Merry Merry. Joy Joy. Ah Florida, where the sunsets and rises with spectacular colors, where the clouds grace and gash the skies with their magnificent forms. Where my talented, beautiful sister resides. Goodness. (My sister is now also on iTunes…Highly recommend!!! Sarah Meider)

My quest to record this trip was not destined this time. “Fang Xia” my Chinese doctor tells me. It means to put it all down. Press ‘pause’ on the thoughts. Mmm. She’s right on. Overkill on thinking affects our stomachs. In Chinese Medicine, the stomach meridian is the Earth element, which is the mother, the center, the nourishment. Without balance in this element, the other four elements go tipping into imbalance. So yeah, Fang Xia. I got it. Practice practice. :) EXPLANATION OF 5 ELEMENTS

In the meantime, I recorded a demo of all the rock stuff with my true blue Aussie drummer and neighbor, Zac Courtney, just this week in my livingroom. It’ll do until we video our performance in March 2011 at a great live music venue, Club Yugong Yishan in Beijing.
