the time has come

Well, she's on the market. I just hope it brings the buyer as much unexpected joy as she did for me! We met because of this car and I hate to sell it, but we won't need a car in central London! Bye-bye my little Kia.

martha's new book

I had a dream that I was standing in Martha Stewart's kitchen trying to convince her that she should publish a book on crime scene cleaning. What's that all about?

I got the job!

So we're moving to London! We've already got the kitty sent ahead of time so she can start 'doing her time'. Poor thing, her only crime was to be born here. Now she has to spend 6 months in lock up. At least we'll have her back in time for Christmas :)

Totally stoked about the new job! I start September 1st. Awesome location and yet another chance to be part of a brand new office and create the program. I guess that's going to be my career trademark.

Hopefully folks will actually hop the pond and visit this time! Can't offer you a place to stay since it's a central London flat (ie extremely small) but there are youth hostels and cheaper hotels to be found.

Check it out!

Was the opening plenary speaker at NAFSA last night. He was amazing! It felt so good to hear someone speak about human rights and literature. Plus who knew he's such a funny guy!

gnomey elf

I want one. I would name him Snooker. He would do all my evil bidding and never get caught because of his awesome red sneakers.

goa diving

Goa was amazing! I've got other photos to share, but for now here are some underwater shots that I took on my photography course. Had I known the conditions, I most certainly would not have taken this specialty course in this location, because visibility was shit and the surge was out of control - I felt like I was fighting to stay vertical in a washing machine! It was DIFFICULT to say the least! But then, diving in supreme conditions I should now be able to take decent photos! I think' peak buoyancy' might be my next course, or I'll just start on adventure diver; I really want to do some wrecks!
