life is odd in a more subdued way, now
I'm staying at Janastu, and in a ridiculously good mood because I have heaps of work to do at GF, and heaps of stuff to play around with at Janastu too. Of course that means that I'm currently regretting the whole needing-to-sleep thing*, and have about a million things to do and people to see that I won't get time for.
Plus also my article just came out in Agenda, plus also my supervisor agreed to let me put linux on his uni computer (which I may have to negotiate with uni IT about), plus also the living room here is a great place to play capoeira. So I am all excitable.
Only major problem in my life right now is that the TGC wiki keeps timing out so I can't put on some edits that I would like to. And I live in hope that it will soon miraculously recover.
Smaller:
* I met a guy called Stalin in Trivandrum. It didn't seem to be a big deal, though.
* This morning, the doorbell rang. I opened it, and there was a guy standing there holding a bowl full of milk. I looked confused for a while. He told me to get a bowl. I did. Then he poured some milk into it and left. Apparently, that's how milk here works (it's from a cow just down the road). I'm pleased with this state of affairs. Not pasteurised or anything - it just gets boiled when D. or R. makes the coffee. And then tomorrow - new milk!
* Some things I want out of life, lifestyle-wise: ability to travel around the city by myself - work that makes me think and that I feel capable of - working around people but not too much with people - work that I feel is useful to others - spaces to meet people that are 'open', like conferences or other spaces where people are not too clique-y. And also wireless. Wireless makes me happier than seems reasonable.

* right now I am like a kid - babbling excitedly for a few hours, playing a heap, and then by ten I am ready to fall asleep face-first into my soup.
