cher, you are so ruthless

i have sooooooo much grading to do this weekend. and then solve Bihar's development problems. lucky for me, there's a movie on FOX with Cher and nicholas cage. cher is marrying cage's brother. cage is mad at bro bc cage sliced off his own hand in a bread slicer and then got left by his fiance. now cage is trying to hook up with cher, while bro is in italy at his mother's deathbed.

tuesday we go to california!

yesterday guddu and I went to INS to have his fingerprints taken. VERY EFFICIENT OPERATION, and i am not being sarcastic. it took like 10 minutes. the only inefficient part is that there is no office in richmond. i think guddu will have his citizenship by Feb. then we will both apply for OCI "overseas citizens of India" cards so we can go to India and "operate" there without Visas. the only things we can do there are study and climb mountains. and i think we still get preferential status for buying train tickets. it REALLY is the best of both worlds!

after INS we came back to williamsburg and ate the lunch buffet at NAWAB. guddu and i are suspicioius of Indian restaurants that serve beef or pork on their menus. Nawab is not too bad. but i think the best indian restaurant so far is Indian Garden and Grill on Midlo trnpk. fresh food-- like homemade. not loads of cream. and they cook only in canola oil and keep theire non-veg and veg foods separate in the kitchen.

my back pain is slowly getting better. today i have not taken any painkillers.

today's haiku:

should i grade closely?
or give 'em all full credit?
no one will e'er know!

so you like how i deleted the "V" put of "ever" to make the syllables work? i got that trick out of the hymnals at church!
