heya, y'all.... glad to see you here teo... scuze for not actually writing an e-mail... i will try more.
i'm just done w/ work, and i can hardly wait to go home and just do NOTHING. fridays suck and are great at the same time. pt prima data in a loooong time i get to sleep tomorrow morning. faza secanta e ca once i get home i have to socialize intr-o spaniola/dominicana cu gazda mea. cute human being, de altfel, 50sh... i really simpathize w/ her brother in the Dominican Rep., he has a heart ache and whatever, dar - mama ciorilor - why do i need to hear and know that? and mostly... why at the end of the day?

oh well, in rest, i am going to a party tomorrow, in Brooklyn, some French guy is celebrating his graduation... it could be fun, but it's too far for me to drink a lot (i really need to get home)... as for teo's idea, i am totally pro books & music suggestions (look, teo, i vote, to also really emphasize the crazy speed of my train to Libretaria :); i must admit that i have been reading far too many books on war, peace, strategy, world order, as well as Islam, Iranian / Persian revolution and Muslim Spain. school does take over sometimes, you know... so on the top of my list for the last month or so, i would put "Causes of War", by Geoffrey Blainey and "Mantle of the Prophet", by Roy Mottahedeh (last one - great compilation of Persian history since Zoroastrianism untill 20th C). I am also starting up on some Tolkien this summer, good old constitutional law, and Carl Sagan's "Contact". that would be the short version. (finally got to catch up on Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" and Alain Fournier's "Le Grand Meaulnes" [ <----- hehe, stupid English translation = "The Lost Domain" ], the latter being a sappy-but-entertaining book for grown-up kids i should have finished ages ago.) ...and "Yey!" to Milton's sweet "Paradise Lost"...

that's all for now, music another time, i need to go home and see how i can connect to the Internet from there.. might go to the movies tonight...

tschuss,
