Oh, Nothing Really

I'm feeling a lot like my nose today--ready to blow.

67 Days

I'm back from an amazing trip to the bay, though I'm feeling a little empty now that everyone is gone and moving on with their lives. But I couldn't have asked for a better birthday, being surrounded by some of the most important people in my life (too many of you weren't there). Somehow the amalgamation of my friends worked perfectly. It's a week that'll sustain me in China. Leah & Havilah, thanks for your gracious hospitality! I am not being superfluous when I tell you that I adore you both.

D-day is a little more than two months away. I'm nowhere near ready. I'm already panicking about the packing process and there are still many things I need to buy and documents to sign and loan officers to contact. PC is sending me more detailed information by the week. It's coming. It's coming fast!

Road Block

It's been pretty easy to put my Peace Corps departure date at the back of my mind, since I had my San Francisco trip coming before. Now that the San Francisco week is in my grasp, I've nothing to distract me from the reality that I'm moving to China in two months. Oh my.

Happy Easter! I'll be in SF for the week!

Ah, my week...

Is it sad to admit that the best thing to happen to me all week was my dentist appointment this afternoon?

(Though I must admit that I love, love, love having my teeth cleaned.)

Acrobat

If my life was accompanied by its own soundtrack, today's song would be U2's "Acrobat."

Fanaa

The Bollywood gods seem to be smiling on me again. I found out that Fanaa, my most anticipated film of 2006, is going to be released before I move to China. This means that I will get to see Kajol's comeback on the big screen! I probably shouldn't get my hopes up very high, but I expect this movie to be wonderful. It's directed by Kunal Kohli (Hum Tum) and stars one of India's most repected and best actors, Aamir Khan, who will be romantically paired for the first time onscreen with the equally talented Kajol. Tabu, my other favorite Indian actress, also stars in this, along with Rishi Kapoor and Kiron Kher. And it's produced by Yash Raj. How can any of this be bad?

Now all I have to do is wait until the end of May.
