I have been in Lalitpur, Kathmandu for almost a month now, so I think it is time for another one of my much celebrated and slightly blase photography rants.

Leave of Absence
As mentioned before, Green Ventures recently moved its offices to the Essar offices in BKC.
As mentioned before, I recently moved to a new apartment / studio
Essar has rather strict policies concerning the internet use of its employees.
My apartment has no internetconnection.
Which means I can not access blogs ( oddly enough, I AM able to write them )
Which means I can not access facebook
Which means I can not access Skype
Which means that, on some days, I can not access my gmail (internet policy of Essar made an exception for GV, considering that we need to check our GV mail, but sometimes this exception is forgotten...)
Which means that, on the whole, I will be a lot less active online.
I will, luckily, keep some of my access to the Intornetz through my AwesomeCookies Cellphone.
So dont worry if it takes a while for me to answer or whatever. I still live.

Location Location Location
Considering my impending move to a new address, I thought it might be nice to actually show you where i've been living for the last several weeks.
My apartment is here

My New Apartment will be located somewhere here:

I'm not entirely sure where exactly the new offices will be located, but it's bound to be either a part or just outside of BKC.
The Upside of having my own apartment is .... well. That I have my own place, I guess....
In Belgium, such an event would be generally associated with wild House-Warming Partays, with gallons upon gallons of cheap liquor and booze & ladies of ill-repute. In India, this is not very likely to happen.
Though I might just go wild and have a sip or two of Rum in my room to celebrate.

If the key don't fit, find a new door.
It has been a while. For that, I apologize.
If there are any other things for which I should do that, let me know. For once, the sage Dutch proverb “what does not know, does not harm” might be wrong.
“Why has it been a while?”, you might ask yourself. Or you might not. Who am I to presume to know, let alone understand, the workings of the minds of my – doubtless – many readers.
Well. It has been a while for countless reasons, of that, let there be no doubt. What those reasons are, however, is a different matter entirely.

Absence
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Don't the Anglo-Saxons have such wonderful proverbs for just about everything?
Then again, it's not just them. Proverbs galore in most languages. One for every sentiment. And even a few that don't really seem to fit anywhere at all.
But that was not what I wanted to talk about.
Doesn't it usually happen like that though? Especially with me, that is.
You start off with this great idea for a conversation. You have it all worked out in your head.
And then you trail off. Slowly but surely. Until the point where you, by god, can not remember where the frag you were headed.
Problem is, though you don't remember the destination, you do remember it was going to be something fantastic. Awesome, even.
I recently invented a new word. Though it has probably been invented before.
So lets say I "discovered" it. Like fire, or America (if we're talking vikings or Spanish, that is, not if we're talking prehistoric native-american like folk) (though, at that point, of course, they weren't "native". They had only just arrived! No use getting ahead of ourselves).
But different.
Awesomenosity. It combines Awesomeness with a suffix as found in words like "Generosity".
Which is pretty cool, you have to admit.
If you're really feeling wild, you can even combine it with another favourite of mine.
"Awesomecookies". Though, you'll have to admit, that might be takings things too far.
Like Napoleon and Hitler in Russia.
Seven extra men at the beginning of every turn, but you could never fraggin' hold it.
Papua New Guinea, that's where it is.
But I guess you already knew that.
Didn't you?
By the way: listen to Bright Eyes - Bowl of Oranges.
It's very BrightEyesk, I know. But give it a shot.
