Life in Irvine, SoCal has been rather bland. But then what else can you expect from white republican middle aged orange county? The high point of the last few months was my visit back to Corvallis, OR. I went to pack up the rest of my stuff and catch up with friends. I swear in the week I was there, I drank more alcohol than in the last 6 months. Shows what a pathetic state my life has come to. One memorable evening was spent discussing political theory over alcohol (of course!). This discussion involved a very eclectic group- 2 Italians, 1 Spaniard, 1 Turk, 1 Kurdish Turk and moi (ze Indian). A slightly bizarre but fun evening was had by all. So there we were all speaking a strange foreign tongue and discussing Marxism and socialistic theories. Wonder what all the Americans around us thought!
p.s. For the folks unfamiliar with the OC (Orange County), its a lovely part of California which is famous for not just the rich white republicans but also for the eponymous TV series about more rich white young things who lead a seemingly charmed life.
