A period of blessed silence will follow

rhyllSo, tomorrow morning my lovely young man arrives in Bangalore, and I will be occupied showing him the sights and exploring some new parts of India. This means that instead of sitting around in front of my laptop all day, I will probably be out Doing and Seeing, and will not post quite so often. Hopefully all the Doing and Seeing and Boyfriending will distract me from being sad to leave all these interesting people I've met. There are so many people I want to spend more time with, or get to know...I dropped in at FilmCamp today, and even the five minutes I spent chatting with people there made me feel very frustrated at having to leave the city so soon.
Some Things:
* For those of you reading this from India who want to know more about Perth, why not check out the Worst of Perth blog?
* My plans for tonight involve a fair amount of trying to be technically competent. I suspect I will fail. A large part of this suspicion is due to the fact that my attempt to make up a conference logo/t-shirt is relying on sites like this one, which begins with this helpful advice: The invention called the typewriter introduced the Shift Key. You generally have 2 of them on your keyboard. They look something like the picture on the left. They are located on the left and right sides of your keyboard.
The other invention, called the Mouse, was invented by Douglas C. Engelbart in 1970. These come in different varieties, but always have at least one button located on them. They are located on your desk, or sometimes on a mouse pad. There are pictures.
* Today was ridiculously enjoyable. Some work in the morning, some meeting people. Went out with Ravi for a few hours and stumbled onto a fair where they'd recreated the religious places of North India in this crazy big walk-thing, arranged so that it was like climbing a mountain. I don't even have the words - hopefully some of the pictures will turn out ok. Anyway, we walked up the mountain and saw the sights, did pooja at the top, and then went to the fair next door. I went on rides! There was a terrifying ferris wheel, and a spinning-around-thing where I think they basically just kept it going until all the kids were either injured or crying or both. And then Swadhe (who is a story all in herself) used me as a test subject for her Thai massage class.
* If you are in my family, and hence inclined to believe that I might be dead if you haven't heard from me in a few days, you may call me. However, I'm sending my phone number to Kyle only, so that he can judge whether or not you're being crazy.
Bighugs to family (I think you're wonderful)! Hurrah for seeing Australian friends soon (you're wonderful too)! Thanks to any Indian friends seeing this (you've made my stay wonderful)! and if you're reading this and are none of the above, perhaps you'd like to leave a comment and introduce yourself?
That is all!
