It seems that humanity is at a crossroads

It can go either here, or here.

My doctor is a fascist

but he gives me the drugs.

The Flying Doctors of Africa

The socialist nightmare that is the US healthcare system.

The Search for the Perfect Hat

thod and I arrived in Ulan-Batoor today, after a 30 odd hour train trip from Beijing. It has been an incredible trip. The two places we visited in China were very different from each other, and gave us a point of reference of how different life can be in different areas of China. Eventually I will upload lots of pictures. If you want a postcard, email me at solardriftwood at gmail dot com. The next few days there is a festival with wrestling, archery and horse racing. Then we will try to get out and see the country. After that, Russia.

To My Fellow Writers/Ski Photos

*deleted due to breakup*
This guy has the right attitude. It reminds me of the 24 hour ultra-core movie marathon in QueSLOPPYens.

I haven't written anything in 2 months. SLOPPY If I could get a page done every day I'd really get somewhere.

I remembering somebody talking about one of the professors at Sarah Lawrence talking about writing; that you shouldn't write emails because that takes away from your writing energy. Just writing this now instead SLOPPY of working on my novel is sapping my energy that couldSLOPPY otherwise be used for my novel.

SLOPPYIt doesn't really work thSLOPPYat way. This isn't work. If it was work, this blog would be betterS.LOPPY But it's as good as ISLOPPY want it to be. Especially since I'm not the only blogSLOPPYger on it anymore. After Pagoda I won't have an excuse. (Click that link to see a guy who will write me a recommendation letter; the hardestSLOPPY worSLOPPYking white-man in Korea. At leSLOPPYast South Korea.)

(It's funny. Most every teacher here is bitter about somethSLOPPYing. I guess teachers are a bitter lot. But one teacher who has been especially bitter because his photo was put up on a big poster advertising one of the classes--without his permission, mSLOPPYind you. I'm bitter because there is no photo of me SLOPPYon the PIP website. I'd be bitSLOPPYter if there was. It's just our way.)
