Me and You

Thanks for the advice. Nalzay and I took a ton of pictures at the ruins- both atmospheric and tex. I cant stand how long it will take to upload them with dialup, so dont hold your breath. I'll probably wait till we get home.

Due to legal-paperwork-nonsense I may be stuck in Saudi Arabia for a while... If you pray- please do so for me, if you meditate, or practice magic, go ahead and give that a whirl too.

Also, you can pray that we get our bags- the airline lost them (and Nalzay had a brand new Xbox 360 in his). They've been missing for over a week now.

Let's pray for world peace and your bags then! Dunno, I wouldn't mind spending Xmas in Saudi Arabia. Cutting the crap now, just stay cool. Perhaps you could demand money for what's lost? Gah, I forget the word.

Reimbursement, and I'm sorry about what happened, Macar; airlines can be a real bitch sometimes.

Keep praying guys, right now things arent looking good.

Anyway, in good news- I'm still having a blast. We went to a bunch of music shops yesterday and I got a bunch of instruments that I cant wait to use in my music- a mismar, an oud, a rababa, a riq and some frame drums. I cant get over how cheep things are here!

I've been working on uploading pictures and here's what I've got so far. About 1/2 of the pictures from the trip the ruins (so long ago). It takes foreeeever on dialup- but here it is- textures and inspirational photography. I should like to mention how accurate El Scums drawings are- I've seen his stuff everywhere!

The light wasnt very good that day- I hope that someone can salvage the color by using photoshop.

Keep your eyes on this gallery- I'll update regularly.

Great, remember not to use automatic mode for your camera.

I'd add you to the prayer intentions list at our church, but that may draw some questions.

"Please pray that Macar and Nalzay do not remain trapped in Saudi Arabia, and that they find their missing luggage. Thank you."

Best of luck, and great pictures.

So, we still have no passports and no bags... But there is a glimmer of hope. My father is going to plea with the Prince of Riyadh (I never thought I was going to say something like that). I dont want to jinx it but we have a pretty good chance of getting our passports and getting the heck out of here.

Your chances would be so much better if you would plea with the princess of Riyahd. Hey, tell your father to ask the prince for some good textures.

good luck man. hope you can get back home

Macar · Post by **Macar** » Tue Jan 02, 2007 12:07 am

So we got home... Nalzay and I did, but our parents are still trapped in Saudi Arabia, please keep praying.

Anyway, look forward to me resuming full functionality soon. I, however, had to rush back to school without retreaving my computer, which is still at my house, so I wont be able to do any composing till I get it back.

Hi Macar, I hope things work out in the end. I look forwared to having you back!!!

Congrats on you and Nalzay getting home at least, I hope your folks make it back soon!

Indeed! By the way, how'd the meeting with the Prince go? And, did you get your luggage back?

Sload · Post by **Sload** » Tue Jan 02, 2007 3:45 am

I had been somewhat afraid to say this while you were there, but my understanding or otherwise of the said country implies to me thus that suggesting for us to be doing magicka or to have been praying in the way that Morgoth does is not the best of ideas.

Nanu · Post by **Nanu** » Tue Jan 02, 2007 4:15 am

I guess Sload is saying that the Saudi government could have seen your post via tap and arrested you for some weird offence.

Either that, or he managed to insult all religions at once.

In theory, they could. but they could never get organised enough to actualy do it.
