as i am writing this, it is 4:59am on my bedside alarm clock. and it is especially alarming that though i joke around midnight about having 5 or 6 good hours left, 4 and a half hours later i am…
one of the bands i find most alluring, but haven’t been listening to much of lately, is the white stripes. i found an excellent bbc radio interview of the jack and meg white where they discuss (among other things) the…
i love that it is raining. i don’t love that the forecast calls for isolated thunderstorms for the next seven days. i’m supposed to be doing this lit review for my last final project. and nothing in me wants to…

i arrived yesterday, straight from cambodia, a day earlier than everyone was expecting. some stats: # of days in cambodia and away from chapel hill: 17 # of days in austin and away from chapel hill: 5 # of hours…
In May of 2003 I traveled back to Phnom Penh, Cambodia to continue some work I had started there in January. The trip was two weeks long, affording opportunities to visit the genocide museum and the killing fields, as well…
During my Second trip to Phnom Penh, Cambodia, I had the opportunity to visit the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and The Killing Fields just outside of town. View of the Tuol Sleng compound
