i won't go into details, but this weekend i had one of the most bizarre conversations that i have ever had in my life. it was a result of one of my friends in the hostel getting her hands on an issue of 'cosmopolitan' magazine, without ever having taken a basic middle school-level sex ed class.


today was a good day... i spent this morning with kinley, a research student here who's teaching me tibetan. he's studying western idealism, and today i tried to explain the difference between descartes, berkeley, and kant. then we watched 'sky captain and the world of tomorrow.' it's a pretty weird movie, but what makes it even weirder is that one of the scenes takes place in nepal, where three of the characters are naked, two other characters are monks, and all of them are speaking tibetan.
