People http://arisaig.blogdrive.com/archive/201.html Wed, 03 May 2006 02:46:55 GMT Good grief...it's like wandering through a grang library, running fingers along the spines of leather-bound volumes, blowing dust off and flipping through soft, well-thumbed pages... Gym-work has taken the edge off any aggression I might have held towards self, life, other inhabitants of Earth. So now is the time in deep night, to give some physical form to streaming thoughts. I was once told, "when you find the right guy for you, he's not going to be cool, Ari." Far more interesting are the circumstances, and the person, still a dear part of my past, who left me with this nugget of...

Now is too soon to speak. Ding. Slam-wham. The doors try to set their limits but are quickly and violently denied by one last body breaking the infrared sensors. Finally they close. "Seventeen please", someone calls out from the back. The poor soul, we know he'll have the agonising wait whilst every single other floor is stopped at. People...

You have to see it to get an idea of the scope and perspective. View from Colgate pier, NJ, of Lower Manhattan's Financial District. Where the Towers once stood. I've never experienced NY without the twin towers, but there still seems to be an empty space. http://arisaig.blogdrive.com/comments?id=199 http://arisaig.blogdrive.com/archive/197.html Wed, 17 Aug 2005 03:30:49 GMT Explanation for my little incident back then. Needless to say I recovered a coupla weeks ago, and resumed with little to no change in pace, but a drastic reduction in intensity. Because we were running out of places on our little shortlist to go :P Longer days, working pushing harder, eating less or forgetting to at all, severe climate change (heatwave in NY, extreme humidity), being taken out to party harder and the drinks in Gotham are So Much Stronger. Like on the Continent, bartenders don't measure out hard spirits with little shot-glass measures, they just pour. So after 3...

It has rejected everything I've tried to feed it for the past two days. In an unpretty way. http://arisaig.blogdrive.com/comments?id=196 http://arisaig.blogdrive.com/archive/195.html Mon, 25 Jul 2005 02:28:01 GMT I confess. I find watching House of Commons question time quite interesting. There's a lot of energy, a good display of dry British humour, subtle sarcasm and raucous shouts of "hear, hear!". The Conservative Shadow cabinet sit opposite the Labour bigwigs (more than two sword-lengths apart, no less and no more! This was made as such way back when gentlement wore swords as part of their daily dress - they didn't want any accidents resulting from heated debate!)Lively, debate on policies, and issues relevant to MPs across the country and the constitutuents they recommend. It's a display... (more) http://arisaig.blogdrive.com/comments?id=195 http://arisaig.blogdrive.com/archive/194.html Sun, 17 Jul 2005 20:49:57 GMT Frankfurt. The closest comparison that I could come up with is it is like Singapore. Clean, efficient, functional. And of course, rebuilt nearly from scratch, post World War II when every 1 building in 3 was left standing. I need to scan a postcard I bought: an amazingly detailed, black and white of the rubble that was Frankfurt am Main in 1945. It's a chilling, sombre photo yet gorgeous in its astounding level of detail. Today,whatever suriving buildings are interspersed with modern architecture's glass-chrome-metal cafe's, museums, buildings - much like Wheelock Place (Borders...
