Cat Pics
A few pictures of Yuli:
And that's about it, really. I could tell a story about the bureaucracy I went through to reapply for my ID card this morning. But frankly, any public university in America would give you a bigger hassle than the passport/licha karta people. Nothing, but nothing, beats the stuff I had to go through on hot summer days in Murphy Hall at UCLA. Those memories make the red tape here a little easier and more enjoyable to cut through. Small comfort, I know, but it keeps me going.
Posted by Rob at July 12, 2004 06:55 PMHello Rob,
is it a dial-up internet connection from your home in Silistra? is your mobile (on the table behind the cat/computer) on the MobilTel network? how is the coverage around there? does your mobile provider offer a data connection over the mobile channel there in Silistra?
i work on mobile networks and have done so in Sofia for MobilTel in the past-- hence the nerdy questions.
by the way, i have enjoyed reading your blog.
Ah, so I wasn't the only one who absolutely hated the garbage from UCLA. Those "kind people" made everything ten times more difficult than they needed to be. Owen, you have to be a persistent bugger to get what you want from them.

What is it with cats and computers? When sitting at mine my Roxy loves to get in the way-- wants my full attention.
Enjoy all the kitten antics because as she gets older she will be more sophisticated about her attentions and will sleep ~18 hours a day.
Paper bags and boxes are fun for kittens but be careful about her swallowing strings-- they can get stuck and tie up the intestines.
Yule looks so intelligent taking over your keyboard.
Love Aunt Carol
