WELCOME BACK
A hearty thank you to Shaan, who managed to keep the website afloat with his delightful posts and witty insight. Join us all later tonight at my “Welcome Back” Party. My grand entrance will be accompanied by the release of a thousand doves against a deep dusky sky as a chorus begins to sing: Halle-lu-jah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hal-la-eh-you-ya! – Kiran
Unfortunately, Kiran’s World is suffering from some technical difficulties, which may or may not have to do with the giant gerbil that is camped out on my keyboard. Please check back with us later for all new posts and photos. And don’t forget to come by and check out our kitchen – you really have not lived until you’ve seen the walrus that ate all our food. – Shaan
Apu – you can’t buy an Apple PowerBook from a street vendor for $100, okay? As tempting as this deal might be, all you’ll get is a fake laptop made of cardboard, spray-painted platinum silver and finished with a hand-painted Apple logo done in white-out. What? It comes with a two year extended AppleCare warranty? Well, maybe it’s worth it after all. – Shaan
Clear your mind. Inhale, exhale, and go blank. Now: What’s the first phrase that pops into your head? The gift of dance? No way – me too! Catch me later this afternoon when I’ll be demonstrating the most important steps from the 80s including The Cabbage Patch, The Bogle and The Smurf. – Shaan
GEOGRAPHY 101
Of course Uzbekistan is not only one of two land-locked nations. There are a gazillion (er, around 42) land-locked countries in the world. Let me clarify: Uzbekistan is only one of two doubly land-locked nations – meaning all the other nations surrounding Uzbekistan are land-locked in the traditional sense. – Shaan
P.S. And no, Sarah Palin did not pass this very same test.
I’ve been up since before 6 AM wanting nothing more than to post a photo and a blurb but, alas, the server ate its own small intestine and then passed out on the couch. As such, please check back with us tomorrow for all new posts and photos. – Shaan
Blog staff meetings are so much more interesting when everyone shows up in costume. I dressed up as Lake Michigan, Zebbie went as a California-centric version of casual day (Read: flip-flops), Elmo came as Jimi Hendrix and Russell came as “sunny-skies-with-a-slight-chance-of-showers-in-the-evening”. – Shaan
Thank you for all of your encouraging emails. It’s been awhile since I’ve guest-blogged for Kiran so feel free to send along any sage advice. Or just sage – I’m making stuffing for dinner. – Shaan
If you were falling and you had the choice between protecting your face or your limited edition commemorative Thomas Train Macbook, which one would you choose? Yea, me too. Well, let’s just say that Kiran now has a pretty big shiner on his left cheek. While Kiran’s face recuperates, I’ll be filling in as guest editor. I am totally pumped about spending the next week with all of you. Tune in tomorrow when we will be discussing the new Elton John inspired denim onesie, gold plated straws and teeny tiny leathuh vests. – Shaan
