Those who know me also know my love for plotting dramatic gettaways. I've got a really good one this time, and it doesn't involve the help of leprechauns, nor does it require divine intervention. It does not entail the prerequisite of a winning lottery ticket or the unconditionnal love of certain Harry Potter actors... Are you intrigued? Good...
I am going to India for a month. I'll be flying to Bombay, then visiting Delhi, Varanasi, Orcha and finishing in Goa, having cocktails with my feet in the ocean, my ass in the sand and my head in the clouds (as always). Since I am convinced that most of you would die not hearing from me, I will be blogging on this adress from time to time. I've had my anti-india shots, I went to the Indian embassy in Brussels to apply for my visa, I am entangled in Indian hostel and university-emails... I'm gonna take over the subcontinent!
While you guys can read about my adventures here, I'll be all alone (apart from that billion of indians), and probably very scared and wondering what everyone else is up to... You can use the comment-function of this blog to keep me posted on what's going on with you, or just e-mail me.
The clip is meant to get everyone into the India-vibe. It's a part of an alternative Ramayana-cartoon, called 'Sita sings the blues' by Nina Paley...

Intermezzo from the news

"Nicolas Sarkozy has said that Arab countries should have the right to develop nuclear energy.
However, the French president said that right should not be extended to Iran until the government in Tehran has proved definitively that it does not intend to acquire nuclear weapons."

Historical discrimination against persians? The inherent goodness of the arab royal families? Or why one shouldn't drink when adressing the media? Who writes this guys' speeches anyway? And why did we ever bother making international agreements about this...
About time I ruled the world...

2008

I wish you all you want. The right background music to everything you do. Strength to stand, and arms to fall into. A little magic ('cause no one can live without). Good food. Lots of drinks. Less hangovers. Enough money to do what you want, but not a penny more, lest it become a burden. Friends that will die for you, but don't have to... Enough clean underwear to see you through...

Wink,
Empress
