Return
My Dad and I made it back home safely from Nepal late Sunday night. Since then I've been working in the evenings, cleaning up the house in preparation for the arrival of a few relatives, and trying to get over my jet lag. Kathmandu is 12 hours and 15 minutes ahead of Colorado, so I've had my day and night cycles reversed too much these past two weeks. I keep waking up at 2 AM and having trouble falling asleep for a few hours. In addition, I keep getting hungry at odd times during the night. Hopefully I'll be back to normal soon. In the next week or so I will post a trip report along with some photos.

"A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning"
Whew. It's been a tough week, and it's only going to get tougher--tomorrow my Dad and I leave for Nepal. We'll return Sunday the 12th, exhausted from jet-lag and ready for a few days of sleep (we'll both have to head back to work right away, and some relatives will be visiting a few days after we return, so we won't get too much rest). I've borrowed a nice, brand-new digital camcorder from my Mom's boss, and I'll take my digital still camera as well, so I'll be sure to get plenty of footage. Of course, I will post a trip report as soon as I can upon my return.
I wish I had time to post some news. In the past few weeks I've attended my friend Yvette's wedding, dozed through my brother's high school graduation ceremony (with a few surprises along the way), and experienced the drudgery and pain of jury duty for the first time. Before this month is over I will post about these events--they really are exciting, I swear!
Good luck to you all, and . . . stuff.
Movie News
My brother and I saw Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith on opening day, May 19th, at the 10:40 PM showing--the earliest showing we could attend since we both had to work in the evening. I enjoyed the movie very much. Although it cannot compete with the original trilogy, it is certainly the best of the recent prequels. My rating: 90%. For a well-thought-out, comprehensive, and at times entertaining review, check out Jared's site. We share the same opinions, overall, so it saves me from rehashing what he has already said (I'm lazy, I know).
