SO. We live down the road from a Lutheran church, with a Finnish woman pastor, and services in English, Finnish and Japanese. Our block has a high end electronics store jostling with sushi, pizza, a Thai convenience store, and a deli run by a Yemenese guy who likes Indians. The way to our hearth lies between a bead store and a second hand audio equipment place (you can see why Ashwin chose to be here). But most importantly of all, we live right above Sacred Rose Tattoo, which is currently running a brilliant comics exhibition. Now you know where we live, and yes, welcome to Bezerkly. 🙂Welcome to Berkeley

In the bayarea! Cool, we must bump into eachother sometime! Lovely.
i shudder to think what the two of you might cook up.
ps. ashwin likes beads? funny, i’d never suspected that of him.
blackmamba: excellent! Would be great to meet up and share our love for the spoken word. :))
tr: the obvious; why don’t you come and find out??
tr: it’s the beading for audio equipment that really does it. don’t ask.
Well well well alo, it seems to me that you and ashwin are living it up!
A tattoo parlor? [Always wanted to get the words ‘deviousdiv’ tattooed on my back, but I’m hideously afraid of needles, pain and my mother, although not necessarily in that order]
A second-hand audio shop? [I imagine our dear and beloved Trivandrum Venu maama might just die and go to heaven if he heard that]
A beading parlor? [Hey, stringing miniscule pieces of cheap plastic, expensive glass and strangely twisted metal is oddly therapeutic…]
COOL!
your ‘young’ cousin,
deviousDiv
My dearest geriatric on-the-verge-of-passing-out (though that might be the fear of imminent tattooing) cousin Divs:
Yup, we’re having fun. Come visit!
tr: the new california cuisine. alice waters better watch out. and, why don’t you make a trip to our neck of the woods?
blackmamba: yes, if tabula rasa joined us, we would have to call our place chez pun-ise. ouch… you see?? he’s to blame!
mamba:
you know what they say, right, about being careful what you wish for?
i have a trip pencilled in for oct 2008, for sure. before that, well, let’s see.
blogmeister:
what’s a pun-ise?
tr: When it’s in french, mon cher, it’s Panisse. As in Chez Panisse, Alice Water’s restaurant for s-l-o-w California cuisine that burns the fastest hole in your pocket.
