    <description><![CDATA[You know the old adage:  if they don't find you handsome, they better find you brainy.  It's revenge of the nerds in this episode of Diaries of our Lives.  We hear from Wang Wei as he breaks out into Mr. Popularity with exam time looming.  Listen to this podcast, and hope that some of his brains rub off on you, too, as you attempt this Mandarin lesson.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It is 11 am in China now. I saw the new podcast at 9am when I started work and I could have been the first to comment...(-:
Listening to it now. The plot thickens. It's kind of sad if you are only liked when your brain power is in high demand. Wang Wei seems to have rather low self-esteem]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Ah, poor Li Yan.  Crash and burn as they said in "Top Gun".  Wonder what will happen to Mr. Shu Daizi if Yang Jie warms up to him????

Ron Paul?  Probably one of the more honest politicians.  He sticks to his principles.  But IMO the pickings are pretty slim.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[No need to worry about
the poor nerd 王伟 anymore.
I’m sure that he would find a more
important thing than his brain for getting
a pretty girlfriend after he graduates from college. 

............MONEY!

        <description><![CDATA[我觉得王伟secretly对李燕有感觉，但是他很afraid to admit it to himself  ;^)
I'm starting to think the writers have been watching old episodes of "Beauty and the Geek" lately 哈哈

Can't wait to see where this goes!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I'm hoping for a Thanksgiving lesson soon. We've never had such a lesson.  I understand that most Chinese do not enjoy turkey meat, at least not the white meat.  Perhaps they find the white meat too dry. Or maybe Chinese food theory favors dark meat over white.  How about the words for "gravy"? "mashed potatoes"? "brussel sprouts with chestnuts"?  By the way, apropos the Halloween pumpkin food lesson-- pumpkin soup is not particularly American as far as I know, although I did recently prepare some delicious curried pumpkin coconut soup.]]></description>
