End of the Year, but the Blog lives on. sort of. Friends and Fellow Travelers,. I must admit that the end of this year has crept up on me.

Similar argument, better writing. Well put by the New Yorker. Posted by K L M @ 22:53 1 comments. 6 days. The Final Countdown. Well, the time is upon us - the dreaded entrance exam date is now less than a week away. I am not one to get all bent out of shape over such a thing, but to say I am not fretting would be just as much of a canard. Still, I spent today doing basically nothing of value, so the blame will fall on me if I do not perform adequately. I was watching this video. To help people in. Milita...

On Monday and we were immediately met by reps from the dive shop who ferried us over to the island. The island is absolutely gorgeous, a narrow stretch of sand our own private hideaway and a bunch of bungalows a stones through from the beach. Still need to sort out my mask issues before I go back in the water today. Dan an...

This Saturday, I had the pleasure of attending a Goukon, an arranged gathering of male and female intended to precipitate some sort of courtship scenario. My friend coordinated the entire event, whereby myself and four Japanese friends of mine went out to dinner with a like-numbered group of Japanese girls.

After running out of air, bot...

Month of Living Dangerously Part One. Below is the first entries from my journal recounting my trip to Bali and Sulawesi. I’m sitting on the deck outside my room in. Planet Earth. I’ve traded on volcanic archipelago for another. The buildings before me are brick with clay tiled roofs, palm. Trees are everywhere. My room has a fan and only cold water, which is fine as it is hot and humid but not unbearable. Below my third floor vantage point there is an assortment of rust-colored. I truly find sitting on ...
