At Long Last
OK, I'm trying to catch up here. Here's a blog I wrote two weeks ago, and only now have been able to upload. I hereby promise to be more promt.
Ladies Venture Hotel, McLeod Ganj, 10:38-11:50pm, Sunday, July 01, 2007
I’ve been so busy since my last update that there are a multitude of different things I could write tonight. I’ve been ( Read more... ) -
Quick update
Hey, guys. OK, here's the quickest I can make it, because I'm running out of time for the Internet Cafe ( Read more... ) -
Will I Ever Poop Normal Again?
Gu-Chu-Sum internet café, McLeod Ganj, 9:22pm Sunday, June 17, 2007
So, hi guys. After complaining to God of my lack of weight loss, God replied, “Oh, OK, fine then. So you want to get sick and lose weight? Fine. Then I proclaim you to NOT be better yet.” Low and behold, I’m still sick.
I guess I didn’t have dysentery after all. I mean, I took the ( Read more... ) -
Delhi Belly Blues
McLeod Ganj, 3:49pm Wednesday, June 13, 2007
Hey guys,
I’m sorry for the long hiatus. Here’s the low down: of course, I had to get dysentery my first week in India. I suppose it’s one of those things that we have to deal with when we travel; you have to be weary of every restaurant, every bottle of water. Who knows where I got it from. (My bet is ( Read more... ) -
The Word
10:00pm Monday, June 4 2007
In the E Concourse of Logan Airport in Boston, I passed the time waiting for my plane to leave by buying a book. People who have ever been with me in a Barns & Noble would know that I have a serious addiction to buying books. I could fill library upon library with popular titles, unknown authors… I could go to the worst ( Read more... ) -
Precarious Power
My Room at the Nunnery, 9:32 pm, Sunday, 3 June 2007
OK, Now I feel terrible. I just killed all the power in the nunnery by trying to plug in my computer. I plugged it in and suddenly all the lights went out. I know, I know, yet another reason that I shouldn’t stay at this place much longer. And hopefully I won’t have to; I think I’ve ( Read more... ) -
Delhi Part I/II
As the bus was leaving Delhi back on Thursday, I began to write about what little I'd seen of the city. Unfortunately, the jostling bus and diminishing sunlight meant that I only got about one page into my journal and then had to just jot down all my impressions very quickly, hoping to turn them into a journal entry later. Here’s the first of what ( Read more... ) -
First (last?) night at the nunnery
McLeod Ganj, 8:44 pm, Friday, June 1 2007
Soon after arriving in McLeod Ganj, my sister and I went off in search of suitable living accommodations for me, aided greatly by a nine-month-old that we took turns carrying her in a baby back pack. We quickly decided to visit the Geden Choeling Buddhist Educational Society, a nunnery conveniently located ( Read more... ) -
Very tired first entry
Delhi, 12:15 am, Thursday, May 31 2007
For my first journal entry, I am sitting on my hotel bed at the New Peace House in the Tibetan settlement outside of Delhi. I’m going to keep things short and sweet, because I’m exhausted. (I left Boston about 22 hours ago.) I wish I could just use my mind to film a documentary through my eyes ( ( Read more... )
