This is a true story that happened the other day:

telemarketer: Hello. Can I speak to s-e-n-g-h-u-a-n-g chiang?
annie: What?
telemarketer: I can’t pronounce this. s-e-n-g-h-u-a-n-g chiang
annie: what?
telemarketer: s-e-n-g-h…
SWITCH TO JOMING
telemarketer: …u-a-n-g
joming: wait a minute, can you repeat that? let me get a pen.
telemarketer: s-e-n-g-h-u-a-n-g chiang. I can’t pronounce this.
joming: ohhhh Fenghuang Chiang. That’s my mom. She’s out of town, sorry.

::Sob:: My throat hurts. I guess I shouldn’t sleep with a sick person. Bad idea. Shitload of work again. I’m tired outta my mind. I’m going to publish my photography work–a collaboration with Nee! Our photo-name (”pen-name”) is DERELICT. Wowzers, how cool is that. I know. Thank you, Thank you. Anyway, it’ll be the next NY Times Bestseller because all of you will buy it RIGHT? Good. Then all is settled.
