And now, for something completely different...

I'm considering using a couple of blog posts as writing samples for the inevitable applying of jobs. Some of you have professed to be regular, or semi-regular, readers of this blog, so I am enlisting your help. I have my favorites, but I'm not exactly objective -- so if you've read a fair number of entries here (more than, say, 3, and not just the pictures), I'd like your opinion. Do you have a favorite entry or three? Let me know which ones (if any!) stick out for you! You can leave a comment here or email me backchannel.

And yes, I'm aware these are not the standard writing samples. I'm not asking for best grammar, most informative (although those might be among your personal criteria) -- just the posts you liked the most.

Thanks!

I was fan of the useful words (http://www.littletroubleinbigchina.com/1/post/2008/04/useful-words.html) one.

Also, maybe the one on the escalators? Where are you applying, or are you just assembling a portfolio?

hard to say. Some posts I've liked because knowing you made them more poignant.

I'll review. DW

I liked your description of playing pool near a hot coal stove (in part . . . because I was sweating my ass off in Can Tho at about that time . . . and knew exactly what you were talking about).

Still, I think it's a well written post - very descriptive, as well as funny.
