i've stumbled across this in various places (including william gibson's blog) and thought i'd go ahead an post it here…

it seems there's an acual blog by someone living in baghdad. it's called where is raed? and is a damned interesting read. i recommend checking it out, if anything just for a completely different point of view than any of us here in the states (or wherever you may be) are privy to. of particular interest is this post.

the last few days have been a little weird, i guess. yesterday was scott's birthday, so we went out and had a few drinks. we played a few rounds of buck hunter and quite a bit of megatouch. the police box set has been on constant rotation, and i finally took it out on the way into work today. there's something to be said for an in-dash mp3 cd deck. it's nice to put the entire police catalog on one disc and setting it on random.
