damn indian batteries arent worth a dime. thought my camera was broken, turns out these batteries i just bought are filled with curry powder or something, dont quite work, or they probably been sitting around for a few decades. so no pics yet, tho some should make their way to these pages soon.
i had a rather long voyage over, just the usual missed connections and lost baggage stuff, tho there was one new and unusual twist - my ny-london flight couldnt start their engines... not really what you want to hear sitting on the runway.
they fixed em good tho.
in other news, there was a reasonably vigorous riot last nite a few miles from where i am right now, for the rather belated purpose of protesting the execution of saddam hussein. they managed to burn some shit, and close down a good part of the city today, so what they lacked in punctuality they made up through straight bullheadedness.
and one other news item i found interesting is that a rather large temple somewheres around here recently became the first one in the world w/ ISO 9001 certification, as they wanted to make sure that their devotees could be assured a standardized and high quality experience. now thats some real east-meeet-west action there.
