miss me?

In what seemed ike a mini eternity, not that much has happened. hard it may to be believe, I survived my 1 week of VI abstinence. Every time that i would begin to type the virtual insanity URL into my address bar, a vision of Dr Griffin (in his NYS uniform) would appear in a cloud (pre-empted by thunder and lightning) infront of me and in severe reproach tell me of the virtues of discipline...ahh all those dreaded years at Starehe were actually good for something. You would think that this 1 week absence would lead to a dramatic increase in porductivity - but Parkinsons law took full effect.

The effect of such a long 'rehab' is that i dont know what to talk about now that i'm back..so lemme stick to the ever-safe 'hali ya hewa'- what is really insane is how unforgiving the weather has been past two days..There's no more room to feel like a ninja and venture outside without headscarf and/or gloves..and i tell you this from experience now that the edges of my ears still hurt from last nights assault. Mpaka ive resorted to heating the crib by cranking up the oven! Ghetto as it may appear, its actually a pretty nifty solution given that i cant control the 'legit' heating system.

The winter does have its benefits...for one I dont have to stop and exchange those meaningless pleasantries with randomn acquantances on campus - a mere nod of acknowledgement suffices! Ive become very tired and cynical of the routine jungu banter in fear of adopting it.

good to be back though..will be blogging you all under the carpet in no time!
