I’m going to go see his HH Dalai Lama teach Friday morning. I’m very excited.
I was an idiot and didn’t get a ticket back in February when they were $25, so I ended up paying $130. I’d like to say all of that goes to a good cause, but the ticket price was only $95. The rest went to ticket vendor fees, plus overnight shipping to make sure the ticket got here on time. And I’m sure that $95 is further divided to pay for the venue, transportation costs, etc.
My mom suggested trying to call in a favor for a ticket from the monastery in Oregon because I built their network and donated all the necessary equipment… but that didn’t seem kosher. It’s ceases to be a charitable act if I ask for something in return. (And I can’t help but be proud that the Dalai Lama’s entourage is using the network I designed.)
:D

I love llamas.

Sorry, Jeremy, but we’re not terribly fond of you. It’s the smell.

The smell, huh? I thought it was because I refused to cuddle after sex.
