so i wrote a posting last night, but before i coud submit it i got distracted (damn those web comics) and ended up closing the window, losing everything. ah well...basically, i'm back from another year of herrang, having successfully managed the ice cream parlor, laundry service, and internet cafe. not perfectly so, but pretty damn well i'd say, considering the nature of the place. and i spent a lovely three days in the archipelago, in post-herrang recovery. the day after i escaped--erm, left--herrang, i slept 22 hours.

22 hours.

was awake just enough to eat, use the toilet, and take a short walk to the local store.

and i was still rather tired the next day.

now i'm back in SF, and rather wishing i had stayed in europe. it's very dull here.

aside from that, i must confess that i have, as a result of finally caving in and upgrading my trusty old thinkpad, i am now the owner of an ipod. i'm not sure how i feel about this.
