I am at the playground again. It is becoming a summer habit. Monday, I take Tony to the playground -- he plays, I occupy myself with the IPad.
But Tony is being whiny today. His crying is interrupting my reading and blogging. I spank him. I then read a passage from Orwell's 1984 -- Winston Smith realized that it was always your nervous system that gave you away.
Your nervous system was your enemy, I should have said. I re-read the passage. I mention this because I real did explode at Tony just then. Quickly feeling remorse, I hugged him.
I use the iPad to take videos of Tony. He will surely watch them later at home in bed.
A cameraman and some staff from school came to Casa K. We shot a commercial for the school which will be shown on bus video screens throughout the Wuxi area. I spoke a little Chinese but my fluency was hopeless. Every sentence uttered required that I make a lot of effort. Still, it was nice to be able to read some of the script's Chinese characters even though there seems little chance I will achieve fluency.
Ida is the Idamizer. If you're not on her list, you don't exist.
