Other news: Loth's Jungle party was insane, I'm really tired, have too much homework, miss James like heck, and can't wait to get the hell out of here. 13 days and counting. Then I can really have a nervous breakdown.
Did I mention we're spending our two-week Hindi retreat in Rishikesh? That probably means nothing to anybody, but it's the place where the Ganges comes out of the Himalaya (and is actually clean enough to swim in!), it's pretty much the second holiest place in India, it's the yoga capital of the North, has been the home of many famous gurus, and the Beatles lived there for two months in 1968. Of course, the last fact is the most important, at least as far as drawing hoards of New Age Western pilgrims and tourists is concered. At least it's supposed to be beautiful there. This is the website of the ashram we might be staying at:
http://www.parmarth.com/location.htm
(I particularly like part where it says, "you will feel your soul bathing in the peace of sacred energies." I mean, my soul could really use a bath about now anyway - it's been picking up lint here and there and I just haven't been able to find a bottle of "sacred energies" at the store to clean it with.)
