happy noruz
Happy Noruz! Rock on, Persian rites of Spring, t'all you Zoroastrians.
They celebrate Noruz in Kazakstan. It was an opportunity to party after a long, cold winter on the steppe. Then again, they partied at any opportunity. Think one nation under Toby. Not only did they celebrate Zoroastrian holidays, but former Soviet holidays as well. The Kazaks celebrated ethnic Russian Holidays, and vice verse. It was not uncommon for us to have 2 parties a week where I worked. My tolerance for shitty Russian vodka was at inhuman levels. Once, I could have drank any of y'all under the table. Now all it takes is one gin and tonic to get me completely wasted. But like I said to Mitzh on Wednesday, "That's a lot of carbs."
What's up with the Time Machine theme you ask? Still no lights at work, and I feel like a tunnel-dwelling Morlock. I went to look up Morlocks on Google to make a theme-oriented banner, and came across hunky pictures of the star from that movie, Rod Taylor. Furry chest, daddylicious 60's hair, and a chin that could cut down a redwood tree. 'swoon!'. So I pay homage to Morlocks and the hunks who keep 'em down in the tunnels.
Just as there are no physical lights here on campus, my spiritual light Chrisafer is away on the West Coast. All is darkness. No Bubbles either. Gurl is out to Denver, and Ghurielle is off in Cleveland. All I have to hold on to is The Tard.
