dear diary.

the 21 month anniversary of work here at intrali-ks. i don't include the 'n' because search engines reveal to my boss(es) that i write about them. but i really don't, they're nothing to talk about. hey im proud about the service we provide. and the new pictures on the website of kids playing tug of war and business men in suits and ties in a boat racing crew are surreal/hilarious.

my girlfriend is the best, and has taken care of me so well over the past weeks. as i've gotten sicker and crabbier, she has just poured attention on me, despite her grueling non-stop work week. buying me clothes, making me 'throat coat' tea, getting me Sopranos tapes to watch. Kelli's the best.

I'm beginning to come around to the idea that America is doing a pretty good job with diplomatic relations and what not. Of course 'we' have our hidden agendas, but the fact that we are giving food aid to afghanistan, and are looking to work with arab nations shows that our government really is a huge collaborative effort. There's the security of state, the diplomats, the cia, fbi, president, intelligence people all over the world, connections with every country. Decisions that come out of G. W. Bush's mouth are really considering the advice of every single diplomat in the world.

the fall arts fest is in a week, and there is a debacle because apparantly Kristy gave reign to this other guy to plan a party on the same day, and just told me recently. Now i have an entire day of events planned, from Plays to Dancers, singers, performances; and this guy Pete also has a day planned, with 15 bands. He has the redcross coming, Mtv will tape the day and put it online live supposedly, Fox, Nbc, Upn9 (a new york station),Cbs news. Its ridiculous. Chaos like you never seen. and its heavy metal, punk, emo music. oh my gosh.

Kelli made me some 'Magic soup' the other day. I think it really worked, because i'm feeling so much better lately. Word up on the Magic Soup!

also, Vinod is back from his sojourn in India. maybe he'll find a place to live and take his cat back. She desperately needs some lovin'. She's a refugee.
