So Roman Polanski was arrested by Swiss authorities while he was on the way to some awards ceremony. There has been an outstanding warrent for his arrest in the US for decades. I had head about it, but I never really knew the details, I figured it was one of those sordid Hollywood things that …
I still doesn’t have any internet at the house. This means that I’ve been checking in at work during my breaks. On my days off I go to the library and use their internet. I’ve been doing well at work, but I’m just not in the right frame of mind to write at work. That’s …

My first night and day at the new place went by without incident. Happily, the place is pretty quiet, I slept like a baby. My housemates (so far) are decent enough. Living here reminds me of my time in Yemen a bit. There is an Afghan family to one side of me and on the …
