"All girlfriends are temporary. It's just that sometimes you die before you dump them."
I came out with this in conversation with my buddy The Choirboy last night, and promised to post it before I forgot it. Yes, yes, horribly cynical, I know - but a good line.

Is that so? are you always the one doing the dumping? what are some of your preferred methods - surely you're not a sms/email dumper?
No, usually I just wait to get dumped. I suppose some people might say it's a bit "passive aggressive".
I don't necessarily endorse this sentiment anyway. (Probably one of the things that has tended to put women off me in the past is that I am very serious about relationships, always looking for something long-term.)
It's just that when my friend protested,"I'm looking for a real relationship this time. I don't want another temporary girlfriend.", well, I couldn't resist the retort.
A leading presenter on China Central Television's English-language channel has revealed himself to be a xenophobic hate-monger. WHY does he still have a job? Lobby for his dismissal - by any and all means.
Days Ai Weiwei was detained
80
With ironic, sinister symmetry, the celebrity artist/activist was incarcerated on the same day that my friend Wu Yuren was finally released from 10 months' detention.
Now, like Wu, he's been released on extremely restrictive 'bail' terms - but could face re-arrest at any moment. He was detained incommunicado from April 3rd to June 22nd 2011.
Days Wu Yuren was in prison
307
"Released on parole" after 10 months; "parole" lifted another year later. The original charges against him were apparently dropped without his trial ever being formally concluded.
Froog is an escaped lawyer - but there is no need for alarm; he is only a danger to himself, not to the general public. An eternal wanderer, he now lives in an exotic city somewhere in the 'Third World' *, where he is held prisoner by an unfinished novel (or, more precisely, an unstarted novel). He spends a lot of time running, writing, taking photographs, and falling in love with women who fail to appreciate him. He also spends a lot of time in bars.
