I love having photoshop again.

The Asian dinner was great, but the music was even better. I heard traditional Mandarin and Cantonese tunes on pear-shaped lutes, two-stringed upright violins, hammered dulcimers. There was one piece that imitated birdsong so perfectly that it sounded like the room transformed briefly into a strange forest.

Other than that, today was fairly uneventful. I have about an hourlong listening assignment to do-- I have to listen to a report on malaria, take notes, and then turn them in. How lame is that??

Oh, well I did learn something else interesting. You know those fancy, heavy-duty harnesses that keep climbers from going splat? I learned how to make one with ten feet of rope and a beaner. We're not using harnesses. We either make our own with rope, or we go splat.

Joy. :)
