How do you say "dull" in Chinese?

Not much of anything special is going on here as of now.....still. I'm currently just doing last touches on my final papers and beginning to prepare myself for my two-part Chinese final. So...uh, yeah, that's it, I guess, unless anyone actually finds it amazing that I discovered I could crush up Oreos and mix them into the strawberry yogurt from the nearby on-campus convenience store. 

Well...at least I thought the end result was quite glorious.

Er....let's see what else is happening here.....uh....hey, y'know what? How about for a change of pace, you tell me what you're all up to? Please? Pretty please, with starfish-on-a-stick on top? Seriously, it can't be any less exciting than what I'm doing. Honest, I got nothing here, just coursework and some new Christmas songs from iTunes to try and put myself in the holiday mood. 

Alas, I have no winter weather to complement my holiday tunes, because as it turns out, things get pretty dry here in Beijing come wintertime. It's actually been weeks since we've had so much as a rain shower, or even so much as a light drizzle. Though we have had our fair share of smog.....oh Lordy, so much smog. I've actually heard from several sources that yesterday was actually  one of the smoggiest days Beijing has seen in over sixth months.

Smog, blech! It's like someone's forced me to take up smoking. Trade you some smog for a little bit of winter wonderland? Please? I'll admit the smog can get fairly thick...though not thick enough to make a snowball or a fort out of...at least, not yet. 

Actually....let's hope it doesn't come to that, because I don't think that would be as fun as much as it would be downright fatal.
