Some text, if you are into that stuff:

As you can clearly see, Rupal and I have been apart all of 2 days and we have decided to spend the hours until we reunite uploading evidence that we have spent any time together in 2007. My last post includes two really fun videos - the first is our Bula Bula kayak trip. The 2nd is the flight from Taveuni to Nadi.

Where am I? I am in Seattle. I arrived last night after traveling for 30 hours, which was actually not as bad as it sounds. I ate terrible food though - somehow I ate 7 meals on the trip (I just counted) excluding the ice cream, the cucumber and cheese sandwiches, the numerous bags of pretzels and nuts, the coffee(s), the beers. I ate tacos, curries (2), peanut butter & jelly, lentil soup, pepper & cucumber salad, lasagna, eggs, sausages, sandwiches... Someone asked me today (my first day of work) how I felt - I said "It feels like my body is fighting a civil war" which makes sense the more I think about it.

A testament to how bad the music scene in Sydney is, or how good it is during the US summer- I am seeing Girl Talk, Sebastian, and Daft Punk this weekend, among others. For a middle size city Seattle either has the most ridiculous scene ever, or I landed on the electronica equivalent of Christmas.

I just came from going on a toiletry binge. I miss CVS, RiteAid, Walgreens, whatever. I spent like $50 (which seems like alot, but so worth it). Then I got a sandwich - there are sandwiches all over this city, and quality ones too. All I've had since I've landed is sandwiches (and sushi for our team lunch). Now I'm icing my leg and forcing myself to drink beers so I can sleep tonight :-)

Why are there sculptures of pigs everywhere in Seattle?

Why is this new Interpol album so bad?
