well, won't bother with capitalization, for starters... i mean in terms of punctuation. so i finally quit my job mid may, and am now on my third trip to karachi. i feel it's a well deserved holiday, considering the longest break at a stretch that i've had over the past two years was 17 days. also, it's my third course of antibiotics, since i've had one cold/cough after another from the beginning of june

it's going to be lse, definitely, as long as these frightful underground explosions don't mean i'll have a hard time getting into the country, and as long as i get housing! anyway, it's the program i wanted, so let's hope i'm actually good at it. what i tell everyone is that i've had it for now with screwing people over, which is the gist of insurance, and i now want to go back to trying to help them. not that i know if i actually helped people in the past or just pushed them over the edge, i suppose that's debatable

what's great is that my aunt in karachi, who we're staying with, has acquired not only an adorable alsation cross puppy but also a slightly depressed but otherwise very nice black dachshund. with the nervy boxer that makes three dogs in the house which is great for me

ended up watching house of wax by default recently, which is moronic, except that you get to see paris hilton killed by a spike through her brain. not that that should really work, considering the fact that she has a brain is doubtful. topped it up by watching valentine on tv after that, but realized that trying to subject the plots of horror films to logical analysis is a bit pointless

went to a funeral today, which was a bit grim since the body was lying right there, but luckily i didn't have to stay long
