This is going to be a short, but much needed, to the point update. This is a time of great changes.
For those of you who are not already aware, I am going to Africa for a period of about seven months. I am going there to study wild baboons just outside of Cape Town (their habitat is further up the Cape of Good Hope actually). I know some things about the research, but there's a lot I've yet to be informed about, and I've a feeling I'm going to get a serious crash course and learn a lot real real fast.
I have decided to start up a "real" blog, where in I write about my exploits and occasionally tangential stuff, like the real meaning of life, which I happen to know.
You can read all about the shit that'll be going on at

This chronicle isn't going anywhere. Not getting deleted, anyway. Things like the annual camping trip will always be immortalized here and nowhere else, although now I've no idea if I'm even going to make it out to Central Oregon anytime in the "near" future. If I feel the need to be all privately emotional or hidden or angsty, then I'll do it here.
But I have a very strong feeling that such things aren't going to be desirable anymore.
I shall wrap up this little ditty with a quote from, of course, Cowboy Bebop. I have a feeling I'm not going to be throwing Spike-isms around as much, either. Besides, if I'm applying this one to my life, there's not really any Bebop that can follow after...
"I'm not going there to die, I'm going there to see if I was ever really alive."
see you... someday, somewhere!
