we just had our internet reinstated after about a week. long story but basically, two other english profs were downloading a bunch of movies and stuff and clogging the server so our provider shut us down. that is ridiculous. it is like ordering cable but then the provider saying of all the channels you paid for, you can only use half of them. worthless.

i had an amazing time in chiapas. i will be posting pics and such later today.

peaches: shiprock, new mexico? on the navajo rez? yes i know shiprock but this is not getting me any closer. can you offer another hint? i must admit that trying to guess is more fun than i thought it would be, but i still need a little more help.

congrats to cuban b; he was accepted to the phd english program at iowa, where he went for his undergrad degree. way to go brian!
