Tibet Miscellaneous

A little administrative note for the good of the order:

I will not be posting very much, if at all, while I'm actually in Tibet. I don't intend on being a Western ignoramus by making our Sherpas carry my laptop and satellite feed to 21,000 ft so my ten readers can get postings about how incredibily tired I am "real-time." Plus, if they have to carry this, there will not be any room for the espresso maker, wine-bar and hair-drier. There is no way I am going on this trip without any of that stuff.

Really, though, there is something deeper intended with this decision--I'll be searching for an overall narrative while I'm there, so even if I did have adequate technology to provide real-time posts, it would be difficult to do so without being able to put everything into proper context. I've been hitting a bit of a personal wall where I'm trying to figure out a few things. I'm not struggling with the overall meaning to my existence or anything, but I do feel a constant unknown restlessness. Sort of like the low-cycle hum on an amp due to bad cable that lost its ground. It isn't anything ear piercing that needs immediate attention, but prolonged exposure to it is annoying and requires you to address and fix this problem, or you are just a lazy and ignorant turd.

You might get a post or two from an internet cafe in Kathmandu just to let you know that I wasn't taken hostage by a Yeti, but the good stuff will come later.
