In lieu of actual updates, I added a few more links to the sidebar. I’ll tell you a little about each of them to entice you to go… elsewhere (?). Wasii.com: This site’s sister site, which is kind of creepy because it belongs to my ex-girlfriend. She hasn’t updated since… Read more“Oh, the Places You’ll Go!”

Tripping Out
The weekend after I came back from Peru I went to visit some of the bioarchaeology students. We agreed to meet at Beckies’ in Indiana, which was kind of a central location. I didn’t have a license since my wallet was stolen so I spent one of my few days… Read more“Tripping Out”
My flight home was relatively painless though it seems like the pushiest people fly in the middle of the night from Lima. One of my checked luggage was a woven plastic bag, which is a proven method of taking my stuff home from previous years. In the airport I was… Read more“”
I Have Two Days Left, What Could Possibly Happen?
I was planning to go to a wedding party with Lin, hence the tuxedo talk. He never showed up and since he didn’t have my number I figured that was his way of saying it wasn’t going to happen. I had things to do in Miraflores so I hopped on… Read more“I Have Two Days Left, What Could Possibly Happen?”
Can I Rent a Smoking?
We sat in a smoke-filled bar on Av. La Marina, a popular strip of department stores, hamburger joints, and discotecas. The place was a big bar, which had an appropriate name: Big Bar. It was my going-away party with my coworkers. We just came back to our tables after a… Read more“Can I Rent a Smoking?”
Burger Was The Taste that They Gave Me
Since I lost my credit cards here in Peru, I have a limited amount of cash to live off of. I guess I could borrow from those around me, but I rather not. To pinch centimos I found an even better source of tasty food, as cheap as the free… Read more“Burger Was The Taste that They Gave Me”
Notes on Peru
Having negotiated the bus system, I found that the “random” words on the side of the buses do in fact describe their route. I thought one of the guides I had read said to not trust the writing. I have always been dropped off where I wanted to go if… Read more“Notes on Peru”
I Get It, A Bridge Collapsed
VH1 had some weird show this morning so I went over to the news channels for my wake-up TV time. CNN has been covering every angle (and even making new ones) of the bridge collapse. It’s somehow a “mystery” that the bridge suddenly fell into the Mississippi. I can name… Read more“I Get It, A Bridge Collapsed”
Touring the South Coast
Last weekend the students and I were led on a tour of southern Peru by Lin, who works… wow we just had a small earthquake*. Anyway, he works at the same museum the bioarchaeology students and I work at and he’s helped us to adjust a great deal. While the… Read more“Touring the South Coast”
Me Robó
The title sounds like I’m telling you that I’m a robot, but it actually means that I was robbed. Which I was, unfortunately. Thursday morning began like any other. I wake up 2 hours before I have to go to work. I surf the net for 90 minutes and hurriedly… Read more“Me Robó”
