i'm glad that you're alive, if previously bored, mark. sounds like south america is thoroughly rocking already, which is awesome.

things here are hectic. the aquarium is starting to come together and we're trying to hammer out final kinks in the system before the opening. the whole wall is lit up now and it's looking sweet. i think there's still a shroud of secrecy, but as soon as i won't get my ass sued off for it, i'll post some sweet photos. yo yo yo.

reading sort of a lot. i got this big old pile of 'classics' that i'm trying to plow through so i'll know what the hell people are talking about at parties where the big dick contests are about letters rather than bits.

umm. yeah. other than that it's mostly just hot here. in this office.

is it possible that the people were saying 'vista' to you, mark?
