"island time"

Mar 22, 2006 12:12

Aw man, I wrote a really long entry on a Word document and here I am in a net cafe that doesn't have office software on its computers, just firefox. Sigh.

Yeah, I'm alive. My long word entry was full of anecdotes about people - cute kids, weird kids, a noble old gent and a lonely dude called Sione - and a pretentious rant about research and its nature.

I haven't been to the archives yet. My thoughts are far away. I've been staring out at the sea and getting very sunburnt. Today I walked further along the peninsula and found old German monuments. The spot where the German flag was hoisted in 190something is a mound of stones in long grass. Everyone here asks me where I'm from and if I'm married.

I've been here three days now, and am yet to follow the time with anything except the town clocktower and the roosters in the morning. They sound like really happy roosters.
