Sorry guys, Ritu’s modem plug thingie fits into my PC, but my PC has no drivers for her modem and won’t install, and she has no disc. So I suspect I won’t upload pics until I have my own connection up in Dharamsala. Anyway, it’ll have to wait. Just thought I’d let you know! Gord

What Color Am I?
Yeah, another quiz, I know… but… they’re addictive. you are seagreen#2E8B57 Your dominant hues are cyan and green. Although you definately strive to be logical you care about people and know there’s a time and place for thinking emotionally. Your head rules most things but your heart rules others, and getting them to meet in the middle takes a lot of your energy some days. Your saturation level is higher than average – You know what you want, but sometimes know not to tell everyone. You value accomplishments and know you can get the job done, so don’t be afraid …
In Case…
In case the long list of quizzes I killed time on today distracted you, I did post a very longish trip-summary but you’ll need to scroll down the page to see it. I went quiz-crazy today, but I don’t want people to miss my update! Pics coming soon, I promise…
But I didn’t expect this…
Which Historical Lunatic Are You?From the fecund loins of Rum and Monkey. From the results page: You are Charles VI of France, also known as Charles the Mad or Charles the Well-Beloved! A fine, amiable and dreamy young man, skilled in horsemanship and archery, you were also from a long line of dribbling madmen. King at 12 and quickly married to your sweetheart, Bavarian Princess Isabeau, you enjoyed many happy months together before either of you could speak anything of the other’s language. However, after illness you became a tad unstable. When a raving lunatic ran up to your entourage …
Of course I am…
Is anyone surprised? Well, I suppose people who have seen me in person might be, but… this suits me fine. According to the Middle Earth Races Quiz… Elvish To which race of Middle Earth do you belong? brought to you by Quizilla
Happy New Year!
What with the back thing, I haven’t actually gotten around to wishing everyone a happy new year! So here it is, everyone! HAPPY NEW YEAR! When I am feeling a little better I’ll post some reflections on 2003 and some thoughts on the coming year…
Trip Update (With some cribbing)
Okay, so here’s me cribbing from Ritu’s page, because I sadly can’t remember the names of the places we’ve gone, and because I will be doing my best to post a good chunk of nice photos from the trip so far for all to enjoy. Anyway, over the last few days we’ve done the following: Dec 20: I arrived, stunned. John and Ritu picked me up at the airport, and then we went to the house, hung out a little, ate, and slept. Or that’s what I remember. Dec. 21: I rested some, and we hung around the house, talking …
Julia Houston
A pretty good SF columnist here, by the name of Julia Houston. :) I’m posting this more as a reminder to myself to go back and read her stuff, mind, as I’ve only read one piece by her… :) Still working on getting pics uploaded, and a continuing summary of my trip here. It’s coming!
Really Really Dumbass Email
I’m working on a summary of the trip so far, but I’ve been pretty busy so I am gonna try finish that tomorrow, and maybe post some pics if there is time… … but for now… Well, now that I’ve been in India for a week, it’s begun: emails from students asking me to fix their grades, check again to see if they really deserved an F, etc. Most of them are quite pitiful, but two were understandable. One was an honest mistake by myself, where I failed a guy who went to military and with whom I’d made an …
Christmas
This week’s Friday Five is a free-throw about Christmas! So I’m going to do my best to say five interesting things about that holiday in the next few paragraphs. Your first Christmas alone can be hell. Mine was. A cheap bottle of Japanese heated periodically through the day, and a lot of long-distance calls, made up my remedy. Really, this is one time that nobody should have to spend alone, and yet, somehow, I think everyone should have this experience once in his or her life, just the same. Christmas all year round is a crazy idea. Really, it is. …
