152 'm living in a hole in the wall.</p>
153
154 <p>Literally.</p>
155
156 <p>Heather, with her ever sharp powers of observation, pointed out a region that looked cool; houses and churches carved into the rock.</p>
157
158 <p>I took an *ew* tour, leaving 7pm from Istanbul, a lovely busride till 9am to Göreme (one of the busstops reminded me of a very very crowded place from some Indian movie, sellers barging onto the bus to sell us pastries, tons of people moving about... then again, I refuse to comment on a Nation by its bus stations... my god, go visit a Greyhound in the States! Its scary!)</p>
159
160 <p>Ok, hold for this.</p>
161
162 <p>The Aga-Khan, the effective version of the Pope to Ismaili Muslims was attacked a few days ago; Sis just sent me a forward<br />
163 http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/content_objectid=13225957_method=full_siteid=89488_headline=-BASEBALL-BAT-THUGS--ATTACK-ON-AGA-KHAN-name_page.html</p>
164
165 <p>No, he isn't worship *as* a Living God, by the way. <br />
166 I hope everything is alright... I just got a chill up my back.</p>
167
168 <p>Anyhow got down this morning, checked in... Yes, it was a hole in the wall. Its a room carved into a cave. How cool is that, I ask? Went on the hot tour, burned three rolls of film ..</p>
169 rizwank 1.1
170 <p>Oh, have I ever mentioned how cute girls look with their hair done up in Bandanas? </p>
171
172 <p>The many governmental and attitude changes in Turk define the region... Christians fled into the area in the 4th century and took advantage of the fragile rock known as <b>tura</b> to build their residences on... One outdoor Museum has 2,004 churches, some with frescos dating back to the 10th centuries. Greek and fastidious Muslim children had vandalized them somewhat, out of ignorance and reading into a Muslim ban on idolatry as a reason to peck out the eyes and faces of the Christian figures... Still, Christian and Muslim faiths seem to have co-existed quite well, especially with the Sejuk Turks, who valued the art and ordered it preserved. </p>
173
174 <p>Frescos of the last supper, the betrayal of Jesus, rising of Lazarus, etc, were quite moving just in the devotion that these people had. It seems that since they were country people, they had a lot of expendable time... which is exactly the opposite of what I'd expect, keeping the sustainance farmer in mind.</p>
175
176 <p>There was a long climb up a seemingly treacherous path to a particular hermits cave, and I planned upon climbing in the name of youthful enthusiasm, until the Brit girl that was up there couldnt get down... she was wearing shorts and *little else* according to her friend, and therefore couldnt reach all the footholds due to lack of foot freedom... She got down after about thirty people collaborated on a way to get her down (and the one Dutch climber that seemed brave beyond logic went to just push her up one more ledge so she could walk another 1/2 mi. to the other way down) .</p>
177
178 <p>Keep in mind, this is only a 20ft climb.</p>
179
180 <p>Anyhow, her and her friend are meeting me for drinks later. :) Just to chill, calm down. They speak English for christ sakes. So far, I've met a forsenic psychiatrist from Conneticut, a pair of decent Kiwis ( go figure), the Aussie couple from yesterday, and a very nice Turkish girl photographer... we both spent ten minutes taking pictures of a kitten in front of the Blue Mosque.. one of the best mosques in the world and we are taking pictures of a kitten... so much for professionalisim. Anyhow had a nice half English, half hand-gesture conversation.</p>
181
182 <p>Why are we (guys) so much friendly to girls? It isn't necessarily a thought that we might *get some* as a few friends of mine might say... sitting and chatting with a male photog from the street just seems odd.. esp. if they were turkish. Its as if, even while you dont plan, expect or try for things to happen with a girl you meet, its a minor possibility, making the casual chatting that much more fun... does that make any sense?</p>
183
184 <p>And yes, I have a girlfriend I adore. No, I'm not cheating on her. No one is allowed to yell at me for flirting. (except sis, who will anyhow). And the first person who rolls *her* eyes and says "Men!" with a gasp will get .. um... some sort of e-punishment. Dixie, don't even start it. :)</p>
185
186 <p>Hah, thats the other thing. Save a minor few incl. Heather and Sis, I can't think of anyone that might criticize me that hasn't been unfaithful in the past. :) Its not just something jerk guys do, folks. </p>
187
188 <p>Funny thing, the pshrink I met commented that Barcelona being such a wild place, no matter what kinda person sis is, she'll be a party girl after. Not sure if thats a good thing or not. (mom, ignore that, will you?)</p>
189
190 rizwank 1.1 <p>Guys, leave comments. Click on comments. Only way to know that I'm not the only one reading this.</p>
191
192 <p>Anyhow, having fun down here, hole in the wall is surprisingly comfortable; and stayed cool through the day. </p>
193
194 <p>I do kinda wish Serena or Heather or HeatherW or Tara, or a number of other people were here with me. Travelling alone is its own fun, but I contantly run into mixed couples (SO MUCH MORE than in England, by the way)...</p>
195
196 <p>Oh, something new. UK needs teachers, so Kiwis and Aussies are working in the UK (with the pound being about three times stronger than either the Kiwi or Aussie dollar) and since salaries are numerically similar, it works out to be a LOT more money to travel with .. L6000 for a couple for a pair of months versus 20000 kiwi... </p>
197
198 <p>Been meeting cool Kiwis and Aussies, might have to re-evaluate my opinion on them.</p>
199
200 <p>Ta ta for now.</p>

457 'm slowly getting used to this.</p>
458
459 <p>[typed from a physical written journal entry, today at 1:40am]<br />
460 Now, heres the thing. I've blogged tiwce today and keeping a journal seems redudant. Maybe this can be a "when im not near a computer journal".</p>
461
462 <p>Fell asleep on the roof at 6pm after having a delightful meal of Iskendar Kebap at the recommended restaurant and walking around Sultan-Ahmet. Woke up, went to sleep in my bed until about 1am... Across the street is an old turkish prision *hums the Midnight Express theme*, its been converted into a Four Seasons.. I've got to stay there at some point.</p>
463 rizwank 1.1
464 <p>I cant do too much right now, can't make the noise in my room opening bags to get high speed film to shoot the lovely streets or get what I needed for a shower... [I ended up staring at the sky and listening to the second Harry Potter book] ... I'm starting to realize something.. the Turks really are friendly.. WOmen seems to love them too ... well, Euro women anyhow. I haven't met any American or Brits yet. </p>
465
466 <p>I want to visit Cappadocia, and the stone churches that were carved there, but beyond that, all I know to visit is the Turkish coast/rivera as recommended by the neighbor on the plane..</p>
467
468 <p>Whats funny is that I was really wishing that it would just be AUG 03 because I had some fear of Istanbul.. now im over it... a nice nap and food changed that :) I've got four more nights, and five days, how best to spend them...</p>
469
470 <p>An interesting note is that the turks think I'm a foreigner ("I've been waiting for a girl like you..." - five Rizzy points if you got that), and the Euros think im a Turk. I was just told by a carpet salesman that I walk like an American... </p>
471
472 <p>[the rest of the paper journal can wait]</p>
473
474 <p>Parents would be happy to know that I woke at 6am ... im not on LA, NYC or Turkish time ... i seem to be on Japanese time. Its very odd. Either way, the time to take a nice shower and shave was very helpful to my mood and I'm quite ready to conquer istanbul..</p>
475
476 <p>Interesting notes:<br />
477 I've seen three one-eyed cats so far.<br />
478 Old men and young boys sometimes sit on the sidewalk in the town center with a scale. Thats it. I don't know if they are offering to guess my weight, or what.<br />
479 I've seen a McDonalds cart. No, not a store (although I did see one of those too).. a cart... they seemed to be selling some sort of baked pastry .. its just odd to see a McD sign in the middle of a sidewalk.</p>
480
481 <p>Whats incredibly annoying is that everyone wants pics, and I want to supply them... but of course, I'm shooting 35mil and Polaroid... perhaps I'll do some scanning later, we'll see... or send em home to have snapfish do? Else I'll just wait until after my trip and then punctuate with pictures.. I havent taken any anyhow.</p>
482
483 <p>Today, the plans are for a Bazaar visiting, the Blue Mosque, and other stuff. HeatherW is right about assuming that everyone doesnt speak English, and while I shouldn't be sensitve about sounding like an idiot reading out of the phrase book, [I dont get annoyed at tourists in LA for having poor English, just natives], but one wants to avoid the appearence of being foolish. Plus they all speak a smattering of English. </p>
484 rizwank 1.1
485 <p>Serena : Email me directly, I tried to email you and I must have forgotten the address</p>
486
487 <p>Love to you all,<br />

630 well its this<br />
631 rizwank 1.1 ı<br />
632 its the letter i.. but its missing something. the dot.<br />
633 ı and i are two completely different sounding letters. Very disturbing to me.</p>
634
635 <p>Anyhow,<br />
636 its quite warm here, and not having had a cool place since the airport hasn't helped. They seem to have eschewed the use of Air Condition, which is fine, but since Istanbul straddles the ocean, its also very humid, making sweating a futile endevor. </p>
637
638 <p>For the first time ,I wish i was travelling with someone. It could just be the first day jitters, but i see people moving in groups and its nice. There dont seem to be many americans at this particular hostel and the french and germans speak about as much English as the turks do. Past travels were easier cause I could always find someone else who would either want my company or let me tag along, the common language being a strong bond, even in a land of people that speak English. </p>
639
640 <p>Perhaps its just this hostel. I might end up just doing pre-packaged tours, the langauge barrier is really really intimidating me.</p>
641
642 <p>I just heard Azan for the first time in my life. For those of you that don't know, Azan is the calling to prayer from the mosques in Muslim countries five times a day... "Allah-u-Akbar" (God is Great), etc... its an amazing sound. Now, I'm about as religious as a pea in a pod ... i see the other peas around me, think that perhaps someone planted my plant, and thats about it. (Its not that great of an analogy, but i thought of it while walking up here and i wont let it go), but to hear the call to the faithful is amazing, just as hearing scads of people sing hymns in Ireland together was...</p>
643
644 <p>My watch broke on the plane, so its stuck in nyc time right now. the screw for winding the time doesn't want to work, and they cannot fix it here apparently, so either i keep it and add 7 to get the accurate time, or i buy some cheap watch .. </p>
645
646 <p>Anyhow, thats it for this time ... yeah, thats two blog postings in a 5 hour period .... they\ll be frequent until i calm down a bit :)</p>

773 <p>Oh my goodness, they don't speak English here. I know this is a very naive<br />
774 first comment to make about a country, especially being a semi-seasoned<br />
775 traveller, but the Irish definition of not speaking English [i.e. speaking<br />
776 Gaelic during drunkness] and the Turkish version [in which my cab driver<br />

780 <p>A post on moveabletype.org that I seemed to have missed</p>
781
782 <p>Those of you who checked out the Screen Savers today got a good look at<br />
783 how easy it is to change style sheets on your Movable Type weblog right<br />
784 within the interface. While Sarah had some good ideas on how to do this,<br />
785 we don't recommend just taking someone else's stylesheets. Feel free to<br />
786 learn from them, but make sure you modify them or create your own.<br />
787 http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/opinion/story/0,24330,3427221,00.html<br />

789 http://www.movabletype.org/docs/mtmanual_templates.html#default%20templates</p>
790
791 <p>Anyhow, </p>
792
793 <p>before I started, I have to point out a missed blog. I started a rant<br />
794 about some craziness as far as girls as concerned a few days ago, but<br />
795 didnt finish it. Then I started a bit about me missing the enviroment of<br />
796 working on the Mike and Ben show, but I didnt finish that either. Also in<br />
797 that blog was a phonecall I got from (ex-gf2) in response to a letter I wrote<br />
798 her.</p>
799 rizwank 1.1
800 <p>She is like the fourth person to suggest that I go into writing and<br />
801 photography... my writing seems to be well articulated, she said, along<br />
802 with some other compliments.</p>
803
804 <p>The disadvantage of blogging is that it might keep me from writing in my<br />
805 paper journal, but im at the point where a very complete blog outweighs an<br />
806 illegible partially written paper journal.</p>
807
808 <p>Woke up yesterday after seeing the Nightmare Before Christmas for the<br />
809 first time the night before with Heather, placing 2nd in a 8th ed draft,<br />
810 sucking it hard in an 8th ed sealed... oh, I walked away with a Brass<br />
811 Herald and a slightly nicked Birds of Paradise, I've got a full set now.<br />
812 It was something call Anaconda style where the top rankers pick the rares<br />
813 out of the draft pack..<br />
814 The man was insane and was going to award 4-2-1 as the prize structure for<br />
815 a thirteen dollar draft, until I complained, pointing out the WoTC<br />
816 standard 8-4 for an 8man $10 draft. Being cheap and rude, he upped it ot<br />
817 5-3-2 and gave me a bad look. The 12man netted him a surplus $75 ... And<br />
818 who charges 13 for a draft anyhow?</p>
819
820 rizwank 1.1 <p>Woke up, loaded up the iPod and other nonsense, finally finished packing,<br />
821 went to the Ismali picnic downbelow, then ended up with family for a while<br />
822 before I ended up at Serenas with a flower... we packed up the car, played some Kingdom Hearts, got late night chocolate and milk<br />
823 and slept... woke a few hours later and went to the airport, dining on the<br />
824 back of her car there.</p>
825
826 <p>Waited a bloody 80 minutes in the line to check in, with no problems,<br />
827 except that I had to take out all my film except those in the heavy foil<br />
828 shield, because they finally publically admitted that they increased the<br />
829 power on the Xray machines.</p>
830
831 <p>Said goodbye to Serena, I'm gonna miss her.</p>
832
833 <p>Security went alright, one quick body check and film check, but I can't<br />
834 bitch about it; it was because I beeped, and cause I asked for a hand<br />
835 search of film, not because I'm brown. So much for consipracy theories.</p>
836
837 <p>Ate Milanos and milk, boarded and had a very sleepy flight. The woman<br />
838 offered me a Moslem meal, and I felt like going ballistic. Who the fuck<br />
839 says Moslem anymore... might as well call me a Mohammeadian. Jesus.</p>
840
841 rizwank 1.1 <p>Landed in NYC, tried to buy a First Class upgrade to no avail.. the woman<br />
842 who I had asked seemed to be no-nonsense, getting a media upgrade would be<br />
843 next to impossible.</p>
844
845 <p>JFK to IST was an uneventful fight, ended up getting some form of saag for<br />
846 my "moslem" meal, asked for some of the beef everyone else was getting ;p<br />
847 In changing the time, I somehow broke my watch... Watched half of Bend it<br />
848 Like Beckham ... </p>
849
850 <p>Anyhow, arrived, and got the fastest visa I ever had. Just hand them an<br />
851 open passport, stamp, hand over $100 and its over. Fucking highway<br />
852 robbery. </p>
853
854 <p>Was met in baggage claim by a guy who ran his own cab, flashed me some<br />
855 important ID badge... I negociated down to $20USD... I was worried it was<br />
856 a scam, but he was clingly, and I did the american thing of being afraid<br />
857 to offend and possibly walk into a dangerous situation. All that happened<br />
858 was that he offered me the deluxe version of the drive for $5USD more,<br />
859 then eagerly requested a tip at the end of 5 USD, and was very annoyed<br />
860 when I didnt have it. He even refused to take 1.000.000 TLs (about $.75,<br />
861 with the other $2 I had given him) demanding 5million... whatever, i was<br />
862 rizwank 1.1 there.<br />
863 So im hot, tired, with a broken watch, just now remembering what it is to<br />
864 backpack, and just as scarily, how hard it is to be in a country where you<br />
865 cannot be understood. Oh help me trusty phrasebook. I think im gonna fix<br />
866 the watch and cool down and orient myself today and do hardcore travelling<br />

1124 irst, something changed. My eternal quest for responsibility took a big hit when mum and dad left early on in the quarter; I became less responsible, stopped making dinner... Mum noticed a big change. Oddly enough, they criticize me for the same old things and mum only mentioned this *big* change in passing.</p>
1125
1126 <p>I know now the reason for the frustration between mum and dad, and it was what I expected... save for the fact that I didnt want to know what it was and I was told in a fit of frustration on mums part. Bad mistake, but whats done is done.</p>
1127
1128 <p>Got Sis to Spain after a weekend that seemingly lasted forever. I totally love her and I know she will do great. Felt annoyed that she had two people heping her out full time and I wont get any help at all for my trip :(.</p>
1129
1130 <p>Just swatted a mini ladybug in the house. Why are there ladybugs in my house?</p>
1131
1132 <p>Stayed with Serena from late Sun night till Mon morning, having fun, then went to spend the later day with Heather, getting travel books and errands done, etc. Serena flipped thinking that I wasn't gonna see her on her way home and then didnt want to meet Heather and I for dinner because she felt embarrassed. Serena and I had a lot to talk about which we did after the dinner happened, and the seemingly impending breakup didnt happen at all, and Heather is , of course, right; she wanted to be the most important thing in my life, the top of all my priorities list. Anyhow, while the aforementioned dinner did happen, with Shade, Serena's sister, I asked Shade to repeat something because it was noisy and I am easily distracted, and the faux pas of the month happened .. serena leaned over and whispered something into Shade's ear, which for its timing might as well have been standing on a table and shouting ADHD! Shadiya pointed out how incredilby rude it was and the whispered comment turned out to be "Hes seeing a doctor for that" ... I attemtped to dismiss it with a bygones ... actually said that, which is really odd... but it did bother me... aren't my personal things mine?</p>
1133
1134 <p><br />
1135 rizwank 1.1 India blows hard. Since my FATHER is Pakistani born, I am apparently of Pakistani origin (!) and require 3-4 months to process my visa. In addition, other people that have entered under same circuimstances (by a story from Aarif), have had to report to CID every morning, and when they don't, they are escorted to the Airport and told to never return. How terrible, eh?<br />
1136 We told the Indian consul to go fuck himself (After we had our friends call in as many favors as possible, I guess all indians know each other ;p) and am now entering via Turkey, dept 23rd ... Good 5 days in Turkey too.</p>
1137
1138 <p>Speaking of ADHD, I'm doing what I used to do with Hogans Heros, I'm watching the Season 4 CD 1 of Sex in the City that just showed and watching it at double speed and just watching the subtitles... if you think women are a lot to handle, try watching that show, 3 hrs worth, at double speed...</p>
1139
1140 <p>HeatherW is amazing. I just realized what a no-maintaince friend she is, and yet I consider her a close friend that I can talk to... granted, she doesnt talk to me about personal things but I think her mentaility is such that she really doesnt have that many personal issues ... (naive of me, I know)... the emails I get from her are, if you cant hang out thats fine, but you are welcome to come, but she really means it. I had like another paragraph to write about her, but I forgot. Maybe some other time.</p>
1141
1142 <p>Time to finish the end of this CD and go to bed outside.</p>
1143
1144 <p>Oh, my glasses broke. Where can I get another pair befoire I leave? I guess Lens Crafters ;p</p>
1145
1146 <p>Poll, do I bring my Palmpilot with me? </p>

Most tournament decks could aquire too much card advantage from Howling Mines in one on one. In multiplayer, the game goes fast, but you can still maintain creature control.

1295 <p>This deck is a blast to play and can easily breeze through small creature decks, like Elves or Goblins via the Noxious Ghoul. The Smelly Cat eats critters killed off with Bloods, Edicts, and Banishings to keep growing and growing and growing. Trailblazers make the large Cats and Phages unblockable. Shepherds kill already weakened opponents. <br />
1296 Howling Mine provides nice, consistent, early draw and keeps opponents off of your tail in chaos multiplayer. <br />
1297 Zombie Infestation and Slate of Ancestry are a match made in heaven... er... heck. Just keep drawing lots of cards, making lots of tokens (which give non-zombies -1/-1 if Ghouls are in play) and... draw more cards. <br />
1298 Phage is a nice alternate win condition to cat and zombie damage. You can easily get enough mana to play her with the Coffers and Trailblazers of course make her unblockable.</p>
1299
1300 <p>It is a blast to play. I like playing it against Wonder based decks. I honestly hate that critter. It's so wonderful to be able to eat one of those guys and get a larger kitty.</p>
1301
1302 <p>Smelly cat! Smellly cat~! What have they been feeding you? (Wonders and dead Wellwishers.)</p>

1692
1693 <p>Pepsi has a new "patriotic" can coming out with pictures of the Empire State Bldg. and the Pledge of Allegiance on them. But, Pepsi left out two little words on the pledge, "Under God." <br />
1694 Pepsi said they did not want to offend anyone. If this is true then we do not want to offend anyone at the Pepsi corporate office. If we do not buy any Pepsi product then they will not receive any of our monies. Our money <br />
1695 after all does have the words "Under God" on it. </p>
1696
1697 <p>Assuming this is true, which is an iffy at best; </p>
