Atrocious

Apologies. Yes, I've been an atrocious blogger. Since February I've been to the field three times, attended a conference in Singapore, thrown together a poster for a nasa meeting and a proposal for free thai satellite imagery, gone on a yoga retreat in Jakarta, eaten porcupine meat, learned how to drive a motorbike in the most wet, slippery, muddy and steep conditions imaginable, and kept myself busy in Ponti at hip-hop dance classes.

If all goes well I'll post these to blogger in the next couple weeks! Thanks for one dedicated reader for kicking me back into writing gear ;) I have no good excuses except for a lack of blog dedication.

But to put you back into the Indonesian spirit: Yesterday night with a couple of good friends I had fried frog. Which tastes like fried chicken (or really fried anything), but the bones are smaller and softer. And then when I got home and opened the door to my kost, a small frog was sitting on my floor staring at me. The irony! The guilt! I don't think I'll be eating frog often in the months to come. Nevertheless it was tasty.
