i am having the most incredible email exchange with an 84-year-old man. he's a student of hebrew and egyptian and he's pretty damn funny, too. seriously, i just laughed out loud, really hard, when i read his latest email. "who is this irishman o rigen?" ha!

i have a neighborhood bar again. i think this is a good thing for me socially and probably a bad thing financially and physically...but it's so great to meet people who aren't affiliated with the university.

finals week, i guess that's why i'm wasting time blogging.......
