I wish I knew what the hell is going on with the bloody weather, but It doesn’t seem to know itself either.
We’ve had pretty much an equal measure of rain and sunshine today. By that, I mean it would rain for 10 minutes and then, the sun would emerge quite abruptly, blue skies, white clouds, [...]

La Biennale di Venezia
Another thing that made the trip even more memorable was the Venice Biennale. Naturally, when I found out (two days before the fact) that we were going, I googled it, checked the articles on The NYT, travel websites, everything. I got an even bigger kick when I realised that we would be there during the [...]

Strange Things
Because living in a new country makes one notice the weird shit going on.

I’ve read/heard about it before, but I guess I just refused to believe that it actually existed. It’s something like having an uncle who crossdresses – you’ve heard your aunts talking about it when they think no one’s listening, but [...]

Bad, Bad Dreams
I was going to talk about the bad dreams I’ve been having the past few nights but b beat me to it.
The first one that I remember, two nights ago, involved me having to fly here again. Now I don’t mind the part which involves me being in the air for more than 13 hours [...]

********
Anyhow.
Eye-Candy on the left. [...]
