Conference superstar, Ghandi’s nature cure, Brazilian for a week

December 24th, 2009 Bird

Again, it has been way too long since I have written and I have a million stories I would like to share. First of all, the international yoga conference was great. About half of the participants were Indian, the other half from other places in Europe and Asia. Would you believe I was one of  Read More »

Global Warming Makes My Hair Flat

Ho there blogites! It’s been hard to find time to write as my internet time is scattered and we’ve been working 12 hour days. Well…sometimes those last couple hours are spent at the pub, but the day is stressful sometimes and hey…we deserve those 2 hours of pub work. So last time I wrote I  Read More »

Power and Patronage in the Baroque

July 15th, 2007 IUP Cook Honors College

7/16 Today we had some nice lectures. Nicolas Friend (who I found out today has a son named Rupert Friend, who is dating Keira Knightley or something, yikes) talked about the power of props and poses in portrait paintings. Alliteration, woo! Dr. Wright cuts the bull, and I love that. One painting that sticks in  Read More »

Alex, my roommate at St. Giles Hotel stumbled throughout the hotel (walls are paper thin and I could hear him a couple floors down at our friends’ rooms). In the morning, he couldn’t find his passport = uh oh.

After I last wrote, the most exciting thing that happened was going to Casablanca on Thursday night for Liz’s birthday. I had a REALLY good time dancing this time around at Casablanca–mainly because I had someone to dance with (Ryan), and because the music was better and the company I was keeping was FAR better.  Read More »

I planned to do a lot today as I mentioned yesterday.  However when 9:00 AM came around my body would have none of it.  I quickly pressed, what I thought was snooze, the button and didn’t wake until 12:30 PM.  Hao and I ate at a sandwich place on Borough High Street for 3 pounds  Read More »

Barcelona: why not?

November 5th, 2006 Jacob Roman

The amazing thing about being a young, single guy studying abroad in Europe with lots of free time and little money is that you get the chance to see the rest of the world, very creatively (this is the part that involves little money). This past week was just such a chance: myself and the  Read More »

Hairy Om’s!

November 12th, 2006 Adrian B

Rishikesh.   The “Yoga Capitol of the World”.  The city of ashrams & the holy Ganges River.  A place where sadhus (the bearded, dreadlocked holy, & some not so holy men come to gather, chant, &…ask for money/food).  The place the Beatles visited in the 60′s to study with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of Trancendental  Read More »
