I got my watch fixed finally. The metal strap was badly broken (needed a new strap, somewhat expensive fix). But I have a watch again.
Reading new books also.
A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide. Great collection of reviews at
complete-review.com. Plus, it won a Pulitzer for non-fiction. Seems great. Largely discusses American non-involvement in genocide, case by case, with an emphasis on why the patterns of action seem to be similar.
Lastly, may be moving to England. Still slightly up in the air, but those who don't already know can be warned (I will move to England if my dad moves, but my dad is incredibly indecisive).
