some blogs are actually interesting

Here's a blog by a former DC resident now living in Russia. She got a Fulbright scholarship and used to work for the Alliance for Justice which is a nonprofit that monitors judicial nominations. Anyway, her account of expat life in Russia is fascinating.

And from Senegal, John's Window Seat and his partner's blog which documents a resarch study in the same country.

I have been very busy at work herding faculty around the building trying to get them photographed. I have had to deal with more hypersensitivity about getting your photo taken in the past few days than if I was the father of a middle school cheerleader. In one case I shepherded one of our Italian national faculty members to get his photo taken, him kicking and screaming the whole time, whining about his hair and his appearance. He's had a month to schedule and prepare, and did neither, so I have no pity for him. While he was getting his photo taken by the Italian-American photographer they were discussing things Italian, interspersed by bitching and moaning about getting your photo taken of course. I interjected into the conversation asking our Italian faculty member, "So does the word diva originate in Italy?" He stopped whining after that.

Lust du jour: cute children's songleader Steve Roslonek. Accoustic guitars are hot.
