I was attacked by a vicious monster this week. I was able to destroy it, Yet I managed to photograph it just beforehand. Upon it's detruction, crowds of locals gathered to view the man who destroyed the beast of Bangalore. They hoisted me upon their shoulders and carried me down the street. The knighting ceremony is next Tuesday. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the now vaporized demon.

I played music with some guys at the office. here is a photo. They played and sang celine dion, the titanic song. Included are a few photos in my apartment and of my garden area.

Well somebody here in the office asked me what i do for fun, and I made the mistake of mentioning that I play guitar, now a jam session has been arranged this Friday at the office... Great...

Welp, I am sick and did not work today and the colts lost (unrelated i think). We went to some palace/hotel thing sunday morning where all the rich people hang out and you pay 50.00 to eat all you can eat, very sad.

Yesterday a guy named Beeju from the office took me and this other guy from TRX Atlanta who is visiting BLR till Monday, Who is named Shaun, to some back-alley shops here in Bangalore. I was able to buy lots of pirated films and games for dirt cheap. Some are burned directly from the dvds, and cost less than one dollar each, others are up to 12 movies bundled for about 3 dollars.. pretty good deals. I bought 8 Xbox 360 games, each for 5 dollars. So i got 8 games for 40.00 dollars, in comparison, before i left the usa I bought 2 games for 100.00 dollars. so Woot. Now the bad news, I cannot watch these movies or play these games cuz my Xbox will not work in the plug here. I blew 4 fuses and almost burned down the house trying to get it to work. Last night i bought a converter, so hopefully that can remedy that, if not, it is going to be a long year. I do not have the internet yet at my apartment, so i am still sleeping at the TRX corporate apartment until i get internet and phone.

I did pretty much all the finalizations on my apartment yesterday and got the key and all that. This morning i was watching the nfl playoffs and was cooking ramen noodles and then heard all this strange indian music playing out side. I decided to determine the source and walked in that general direction and found a shrine were people were worshipping what i can only assume was shiva. Apparently you must do so while blaring music through the city @ 4am. who woulda knew. i took a few photos the last of which i took from my helicopter.

Namaste। I have arrived in blr। Whew... it is about time. About 6 hours of violent turbluence on my transatlantic flight quite hindered my ability to consume liquid without spilling it all over myself. That's all i have to say about that. This thing keeps making me type in hindi... My bags did make it this time, sweet, although one of my wheels done felled oft. Working on moving into my new place, i think i can attach pictures of the crib on this thing. Regardless, i am now off to open a bank account and purchase a mobile telephone.
