ridiculously self-indulgent libertines post

From now on I'll just head these posts PETE AND CARL YET AGAIN so you'll all know to skip them.

Sorry for being such a tease and always promising and never delivering. On the bright side, probably most of you don't care about the Libertines anyway.

Thant Myint-U and Meetup?

Back to reading The River of Lost Footsteps: A Personal History of Burma by Thant Myint-U. The nice thing about this book is that the author doesn't assume you know anything -- I'm about halfway through, and the "personal" part still hasn't started because the author is too busy filling in background. And he's great at it, strikes a very good balance between the big picture and interesting details. On the other hand, because the history of this region is so murky, I suspect that some of the his "facts" are actually pretty controversial theories. But I don't know enough to say for sure.

In other news, gonna be in Montreal this weekend ^___^. I'll be in Seattle/Vancouver three weeks from now -- from the 18th to the 24th. Anyone from around there interested in meeting up?
