Skiing

Posted by Viren  Published in The usual

One of the only words in English with two consecutive i’s. Be that as it may, I spent all of the 28th skiing. I’d never been skiing before and it was wonderful. It was exhilarating, I fell more times than I can count, but very satisfying at the end of the day. Once the skis [...]

The war on wind

Posted by Viren  Published in The usual

The power’s been out for three days. And while this is no excuse to not post more often, my finals for the semester just ended and I’ve been sleeping more than 4 hours a night and boy, it feels good. A huge windstorm put a quarter of a million people in the dark. This makes [...]

Les Miserables

Posted by Viren  Published in Book Excerpts, Book Reviews, Victor Hugo
