ummm......

so I just wrote a post a few days ago, and I'm at the internet now, mostly because every day there is electricity I feel this huge pressure to spend the whole day consumed in front of a computer, television, radio, or reading at night with a little more light than can be provided by a cheap candle....

but now that i've gotten here, i realize i dont have a whole lot to say.

that last sentence, more than the long-winded stories or anecdotes i've ever written on this blog thing, is occasionally the most accurate way of summing up my experience here. i kinda like it that way.

ok, screw blog, forget emails, even the stuff on nytimes is boring - every day it's war, taliban, confusingprescriptiondrugplan, nuclearcooperation (huh?!?! first - was surprised, and i'm being ironic here, that the first article i've read involve "bush" and "nuclear cooperation" did not in any way involve reduction or halting of weapons production. not saying that it was very feasible to get this outcome, but still not surprised. second - whoops, i forgot, i meant to say 'nukular') .

i'm off to drink uji (that porridge, remember?), shoot the shit with some local friends, basically VEG for the next 3 hours.... electricity is nice, but today i'm fried
