Can't find a decent cup of chai in this state

First of all, I don't mean the milky instant chai you get at any coffee shop. In Afghanistan, the locals gave us this strong green tea, sweetened with real cane sugar. They squeezed sugar cane into the pot and brewed it into the tea. Delicious. I know you can make it in the states somehow, but I can't figure it out.



I'm a grad student at Clemson University, trying depserately to figure out what on earth the topic of a major project. No, not my thesis (though I'm still thinking about that one, as well). I'm trying to think of a manageable topic for a full-on Second Life presentation, and am a little stressed about the whole affair. Still, it's early yet, and I have confidence something will wind up coming to me, most likely while in an altered state of half-sleeping, half-hangover. After all, isn't that how Voltaire wrote Candide? Plus, there has to be a film aspect to it. No, not "watch a film and write a paper on it," or something like that. I have to compose a video presentation of this shindig. Figures that my brother (the artisitc and creative one of us) has a degree in film, and lives in Philly. Fie!



Anyway, I reckon I might could assemble some ideas I've been kicking around about serious gaming, but I'm still reaching. I guess something will come to me soon enough.
