well, here i am in kenya.

Is it too early to be talking about Christmas? Maybe, maybe. But then, maybe not. And it’s on my mind for some reason. So, if you’re wondering, here are some thoughts...
- a card or letter from you! - it’s a bit different to have someone’s actual handwriting. A lot more better than an email (not that emails aren’t great too.)
- pictures!
- music - anything you’d like to share.
- Spirited Away, or anything else by that director (Howl’s Moving Castle, The Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro). Not so much available in Nairobi.
- if you have a copy of Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World (Haruki Murakami) sitting around, I’ve just been feeling like reading it for a couple months and have even asked around at bookstores, but only one place had anything by him, and it was the latest one - Kafka on the Shore - which is okay but not, to me, as good. If you have other books you feel like sending, that’d be welcome too. :-)
- socks - Hard to find and quite expensive here. And mine are starting to get holes (maybe because i was a little too vigorous at the beginning with the whole hand-washing thing).

Okay now. And if you want something specific from Kenya, you just let me know.
