and i be getting together on tues, hopefully. feeling more chilled out after vacating my prison-cell-box of a room, and taking the novel approach of phoning ahead for a reservation, which actually only worked due to divine interference, as the receptionist, one mr baloo, put my res down for the next day, and we just happened to arrive at the desk as mr- guest who was staying in the room i now call home was finishing checking out.
i had been trying to post to el blog via email which hasnt been working, so for a rapid summary of the last weeks events: chaos, complete and total mind-altering body shaking chaos, and then it turns out that this last weekend was the greatest and most auspicious day to get married for the whole year, so no hotel rooms to be found, thus landing me in box-like-prison cell room whcih literally was the second to last room left in town, the last one being the other box-like-prison cell room next door.
anyways perceptual filters have been activated, the mind is somewhat shielded from sensory assault, very star-trek like actually, cannons torpedoing the mental defenses, survival realized only through a fantastic combination of grace and luck. found some company in an older, guessing early 40s, cute and nice woman, who i ran into at the railway station somewhat disconcerted over being totally fucked for finding a room, having already tried 2 other cities, so she thus had no choice but to come with me and share a room in a town 4 hrs away, but we havent gotten down and dirty or anything, not yet anyways, i'm often quite shy really when it comes to initiating the process of getting into the pants.
i forgot my camera cable at the hotelito so pics soon.

no pics yet
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.

crazy pete is back
so crazy pete is back on the rampage (at the bay), he recently went gorilla on a conga drum that he mistakenly thought was mine, smashed it to pieces. hopefully he stays away from the kayak, if i was not leaving the country in 48 hours i would probably go up there and rescue it. apparently this rampage is justified by my "opposition" to the "war." and my lack of care for the bay house.
i went to philly thurs nite, took friday off cuz i felt like it, and since i was working on monday. came back sat mornin to help the parents with prepare for the fiesta they had planned for sun for my nephews 1 yr bday / coming home from the nicu (neonatal i/c/u) day, which was fun in the way that things where you meet lots of people, who you are actually happy to see, and say the same things over and over again, till you finally just start pouring drinks and chill out somewhere till its all over, that kinda way.
on a totally different note, verizon amazed me yet again with their inability to do anything correct, even when all they need to do is do nothing. i'm switching our work dsl to them and called to set up a march 1 start date. well, in response, they set it up in a little less than 18 hours, calling me this morning to say its all ready to go...i was amused.
