8.4.2004     backlog

Go backwards. Read these from bottom (earning my screen name) UP* because I have been filling in and posting. Reading this top to bottom is backwards unless you are up to date and you can't be up to date because I'm still sitting at Guka's trying to catch up to date. Thank heavens things have slowed down so that I can scratch down my thoughts, though Guka is quite tired of Bukhara. When will you get to Almaty? When will your spirit catch up to your body? is what she means. I'm trying, Guka. I am.

I backdate as I post, so that everything will in chronological order. Peek at the July-dated blogs to see if they are new to you as I added a bunch.


Guka in her remodeled Soviet flat. I sit and write at the other side of the table. This was taken with my point & shoot, rather than the fantastic SLR. This blog format doesn't allow me to dictate resolution or size (hence the huge photo of the feet below), so the fabulous image quality isn't coming across on the web. I can't post these to my site instead of a blog, as I will get lost in the fun of it and get nothing done.

*this entry is relevent to the blog I'd posted. Blogs are posted from today backwards, which makes it difficult to read a post that builds on previous happenings. Which is why I've reposted everything here on my site in forward motion.

Guka's Columbia t-shirt wasn't a gift from me. I know her from NYC. She got her masters at Columbia on a Soros fellowship. We studied together at Butler. A lot.
