Hi :)

Glad you’re back! I should get an iPad, I’m using a tiny little iPod for the game, a laptop for the Wiki. Hawaii is more popular for west coasters. For me it’s a very long flight and quite expensive. I’ve been to the Virgin Islands which is also nice for coral reefs and such. Of course you don’t have volcanos and jungle like you do in the Hawaiian Isles.

Love/Virtue has been a good combo. I got like six Love’s in a row, but just now a second Valentine. It’s a super rare so I should be able to trade it for a large pearl and pink quartz. I like Tiny as well, and it earns lots of coin. I had issues with trying to input Diamond/Leviathan results into HCh, but it has taken my LH/RH entries just fine. I was using Chrome, I had some funniness with Firefox.

Wow, now I really want to go find tigers in India. I’ve always wanted to go to the Himalayas as well. Definitely have to figure a way to work less and play more. Running bears … I was in the mountains at the time and couldn’t believe how fast and powerfully the animal could move on incredibly rough terrain. Thank god it ran the other way, an unarmed person would have no chance if it was serious. At sixteen I took off for a month in the mountains with my bicycle, camera, and backpacking equipment. Had a fabulous time. In retrospect I’m surprised my parents didn’t try to stop me, but at the time it didn’t even occur to me. I’ve seen National Geographic type shows on man-eating tigers. I don’t think I’d want to camp in their territories. Kenya would be cool. I have a friend who climbed Kilimanjaro. I loaned him fancy collapsible trekking poles that he took to the top. So it’s almost like I’ve been myself, right? Hahaha

I didn’t care for history much in school and went through a phase in high school where I didn’t care AT ALL about grades and nearly got kicked out (see I was trouble,  J ) But then I kinda backed into college, got interested in things, and did the whole grad school thing. Speaking of news, is there any fallout in Bangalore from the creation of the new Telangana state? You are not so very far away. Coverage here has been superficial and mostly centered on pepper-spraying lawmakers. Seeeeee what happens when you don’t vote, hahaha :)

Ah, Franz Mesmer, I vaguely remembered him when I saw your name suggestion the other night and looked him up on Wikipedia. Kinduv an interesting guy, though perhaps a bit of a charlatan in some respects. Still, I think there is clearly something to hypnotism, though I’ve never been hypnotized. Have you? Richard Feinman (the Nobel Physicist) has an interesting story on it in his autobiography (which is quite a good book BTW).

Hey, it’s really good your back! Took a break to breed on Dragons and LH/RH just gave me Passion! WooHoo! Have you seen the new Black Rose dragon? I like it but it looks horrid to breed because of the triple type and lots of long fails. Thanks for the den wishes, I hope you are equally satisfied :P   Virtue does look a little smug, doesn’t he?

Well, off to bed, now. G’night. xoxoxo

P.S. I like the concept of the Winter Games dragon, but don’t think the design is anything special.
