Unbelievable!!

I simply can't believe this. When I had first made this post, I had thought it was a foregone conclusion that Jill Carroll would not survive her kidnapping. Tish called me this morning with the news that, wonder of wonders, Jill Carroll had been set free. Amazing. I am so happy and relieved for her. It also seems like that she came through this fairly unscathed.

Right now I am sitting at the bus terminal at O'Hare airport. Without a car, I am relegated to finding creative ways of getting around. I missed the bus by five minutes, so now I have to wait around for an hour before the next one gets here. Thanks to my iPod and wirless access, I can at least while the time away. The really sucky part is that I won't get to see Priya till tomorrow evening now. Aaargh. The torture.


I pulled up this interesting statistic on my Google videos. Take a look at the picture:

See that? The most popular videos that I host are the short clips from Buenos Aires. I should dig up more stuff from Argentina!

That is great about Jill!

So, that report shows how many people have seen your video, not on your blog, but on google video??

Funny you saw my video before I got to post it! Once you said you saw it, I went back to Google video and it STILL said it was being verified and I was confused... Then I clicked on "refresh videos" and it showed that it had been verified! Ugh, maybe I could've posted it days ago! oh well, now I know.

See you tonight at the mentor's mtg. :)

Hey Bipin, glad you're so "accessible" ... hehe!

Thanks for the trivia again ... you're good at making interesting posts about trivia ... well done ... you should try journalism if the engineering thing does not work out some day.

it's too bad her iraqi assistant was shot on the spot, though. if i were her, i wouldn't have made my captors out to be such compassionate people, as she seemed to do when she told the press about her conditions in confinement. so while i'm also glad she's safe, those who abducted her are still murderers.
