This is why I hate putting pictures up here. I've been sitting here for 20 minutes waiting for them to upload, and if something goes wrong, I'll have to start all over again. Let's knock wood and hope that doesn't happen...

OK now I'm pissed. Something went wrong and I just wasted half an hour. I'll try again later.

Holy crap, it's been a while. My computer has been out for some time, and I haven't really had the desire to haul my ass all the way downtown just for an internet cafe. Life's going pretty well. I have short hair, I look way old, which is ironic cause the last time it was the short, I was way young, well, relatively. What else? Not too much really. I don't do much but sleep and eat and listen to my QUEEN MEGA-CD!!!!!! It seriously has the mp3 of almost every Queen album, including Live Killers, AND the Flash Gordon soundtrack! Holy Shit! Best 4 bucks I've ever spent, that's for damn sure. I also finally watched Pirates of the Carribbean 2, but it was in Russian, so some things didn't quite make all of the sense they could have.
I'm pretty much done (in my mind) with vacation, but whatever kind of funk I was in before has lifted and life is looking pretty swell. There's like 10 more days until people start coming back, I'm pretty sure I can stick it out. This semester won't be the same without Andrushka though.

Oh, and I can drink beers now. For real. It's surreal to, as they say, "have a beer or two." I just started small and worked my way up the beer food-chain. Is that feeling like your stomach is going to explode normal? Shit is Gasssss-Y! But yeah, beats the hell out of getting overly drunk on vodka.

I think that's it for now. I swear I'll put some pictures up soon, it's just kind of an ordeal to do it, and I need to be in the right mood.

For those of you stateside, keep on rockin' in the free-world. Good luck with the start of a new semester SLCers.

Happy New Year to all.

Man, 2007 already where does the time go?

I rang in the new year at a raging house party here in Dobrey with friends of Jason's tutor Masha. It was pretty sick. Singing, dancing, and general merry making were done in large amounts. Everything was super, until we went out to "stroll," and I lost my keys and SECOND cellphone on a giant ice slide. I also lost my lighter, which shouldn't be a big deal, but I bought it over the summer in Vermont, it survived the notorious lighter thieves of Stowe, Vermont (you know who you are), and was still working fine. It was a good friend, and served me well. It shall be missed. If anyone from ACTR is reading this, in addition to American Spirits, if you wanted to bring me an American, Bic lighter, the good ol' fashioned kind, that'd be sweet.

So yeah, raging house party, with enough food (and drink) to kill a horse. It's a good thing I ate as much as I did, otherwise January the first would have been a pretty shitty day. So, losing those items aside, I had a great New Year's eve, and definately did America proud at the dinner table.

Living here without school is pretty wierd, and it definately makes me miss home a lot more. But spirits are high, life carries on, and I'll be home before I know it.
Also, I'm going to try and get my old phone number back, so don't go forgetting it.

That is all for now.
Pictures....well...sometime.
