Anymore you can think of...
"Im very busy"
"I'm in a meeting"
It's hilarious how people have meetings to discuss when to have a meeting.But are these meetings productive? nothing much gets done or said,just three hours of "blah blah blah"
When you walk into most companies people appear quite busy,however if you look closely almost everyone save for the boss is on Twitter,Facebook,My Space,tbj,QQ,playing computer games or seding e-mails-At the end of the day,people say"I was so busy today" and I had two "meetings"
Like an owl, a bird of the night, silent in flight, stealth like, curious about things but are happy to sit and wait until the time is right to obtain their goals (catch or conquer their prey).

Ah yes, the sweet lyrics of the drunk living across from me. He sings this constantly some nights. It's directed at someone living in the adjacent building.
Sometimes the same is different, but mostly, it's the same.

You must live in the same apartment block as my friend! Either that or this is more common in Beijing than you might imagine.

I got my first 你穿的这么少! of the year today. The old women didn't grab me firmly by the bare forearm for emphasis though, which was a bit rude ...

You're welcome Silky.How do you say "would you like to join me for dinner" in Chinese-Pinyin? Chinese is such a beautiful language.
