Fast-forward to the Present!
Much has happened in the eight months since my last post! Some of it I will write more about, and some of it will be left to dissipate into the ether (perhaps to reincarnate as an article when I'm 50). Speaking of reincarnation and places where that is a lifestyle, I'm headed to India next week on a solo journey for a few months (read: until I run out of money). This is my first extended overseas, all-by-myself-trip, and I'll be writing as often as I can to entertain, shock, and make contemplate you (this is the grammatical flavour of frenchyenglish which seems to have implanted itself in my ear over the last decade)!
I don't know how to do an 'are-ess-ess', but maybe you do! And if you do, then you should do it!

Just an example of the kinds of shocking images you may encounter.
Why is this man's head, featured on a fortune cookie bag, so distended?
