Okay okay, I know it’s been a while, but first I was writing my thesis, and then being plied with alcohol and mixed emotions as a future alumnus of a wealthy institution of higher education, and finally reverting to my natural, hermit-y state, as per the instructions of not one but two trashy magazines’ horoscopes.

New photos up on flickr as promised, including my wheels and a couple shots of the GQ bowlstravaganza.

The first stop on my grand-ish spring break adventure was Atlanta, GA, to visit some (most) of my study abroad program-mates. We ate, we drank, we lived like kings and queens. Notable highlights were a really sweet potluck dinner in honor of Passang-la, our incredible program coordinator of sorts who is in the [...]
You might be asking yourself, “why does this photo look like it was taken on two different pieces of film taped together?” to which I would respond, because it was.

And, just like that, another semester is basically finished. We have from now until May 20 for our independent research projects, which is certainly going [...]
Tomorrow is Losar, the Tibetan new year, which means that I spent today in Dharamsala shopping for goodies to put on the alter in our room. This alter is like nothing you have ever seen, being composed mainly of fried bread called kapse, topped with some of the small, foil packages of biscuits that are [...]
I am literally on my way to India at this very moment. My flight leaves later tonight which means a few more hours in the Newark airport, listening to people speak languages that I don’t understand and watching a steady stream of flight attendants, pilots, and TSA personnel filter through the Starbucks [...]
Watching the two guys in the coffee shop playing Go today, I was overcome with the urge to learn to play the game, and eventually (through hard work and many disappointments) to become proficient at it. This urge undoubtedly stems in part from my own personal history with the game: my dad [...]
