« Quiet day, Turandot | Careful! » |
Quiet, students, mayonnaise
A cool, quiet day in Kazan. The US is currently distracted by the shootings in CO. I find myself wondering if anyone is paying attention to:
- The bus bombing of Israeli tourists in Bulgaria on the 19th
- Today's bombing in Orakzai, Pakistan
- The alleged bombing of Rumaker by North Sudan on the 20th
- Continued fighting in Syria and exodus of Syrians into Lebanon
Also of interest are the slow development of civil society in Russia, which I view as a very good sign, and Russia's continued attempts to limit NGOs, which I view as generally bad.
Ugh. How depressing most of that is. I need some good news. Ah! How about this? On Facebook I see that two of my incoming students are already in Moscow. They should all be here by tomorrow evening.
Today I had chipotle cauliflower... with mayonnaise. Yesterday was chipotle broccoli with mayonnaise. The day before was cucumber and onion salad with mayonnaise. And the day before that was fried squash and onion with mayonnaise.
I wonder why I'm suddenly out of mayonnaise.

Yes, Bulgaria was all over the news, In fact I was watching RT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RT_(TV_network) from Moscow and they had quite a piece blaming Isreal for the hoopla.
