Movie magic makes holiday boredom vanish

So how was Spring Festival for you? Family reunion? Embarrassing relatives? A faceful of dumplings?

Sounds like many a Christmas I've endured - minus the dumplings.

How was my Spring Festival? Boring. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give my social life a minus 5, so I spent the holiday alone in my apartment, trying to write a book. I meticulously detailed the experiences from my first four months in China - that was one page out of the way. But what about the rest of the book? I'd have to write about my life.
