hello again

so i came back to my blog 2 weeks earlier than i said i would, mostly because leslie wants photos from this summer, and i don't mind obliging.

and i changed the look and title of my blog - though it still has the same html. ogaden is the region of ethiopia which i'm writing my masters thesis on whilst at oxford. the region is inhabited entirely by somalis - but was arbitrarily given to ethiopia in the 1940s when the country lines were drawn up. it's incredibly volatile and interesting.

anyway, more posting to come - here's a picture from my recent frolicking in new york city with some of my closest friends. this was from a photo booth on coney island. ya - how many people actually still go to coney island? oh man, it was probably the highlight of the trip though. hilarious ghetto fun.
