Time	Event
7:25p	Odd day... Went to the supermarket and while I was there I heard Barber's "Adagio for Strings" over the music system... Not exactly great shopping music. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the piece, think of the climatic death scene at the end of "Platoon:. Beautiful music, but not what I expect in a supermarket. On the way home, I swear I saw Rosana Dan Danna from SNL. In Yemen of all places... Yemen does have some wonderful grapes. I saw a bunch and I had to have them, they're beautiful and they are perhaps the best tasting grapes I've ever had. I'll post pictures later on, they really are that amazing...

8:10p	New web site hosting? My .mac account is about to expire. When it was free it was OK, but I don't think I'm going to spend the dough on it. The mail service is slow and buggy and it's really expensive. I'll probably switch over to Yahoo mail and find a new service for hosting my site. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good company for that? Isaac (Comment on this)
8:15p	Thoughts about moving.... The current guys that have moved in are really unhappy with the accommodations. They are going to move to a hotel near Tahreer at the end of this month. For about the same money, they could have a place with two beds and their own bathroom. I've also heard about apartments that are up to half of what I pay now in the old city, although they are unfurnished. I'll have to do some number crunching and see if it's a financial necessity for me to move. There is a lot of appeal to having a nicer place, but I'm afraid that I'd be really isolated. I've met some really cool people living where I live. Luca, Nollaig, Christoph, and Michael have all made my trip much more enjoyable. Of course I've had some housemates that sucked too, but they never seem to stick around that long thank goodness. I think I'll stay in my current place and see who moves in and how long they're staying. That'll help me make up my mind... Isaac (Comment on this)
