About Ramblings of a Hopeless Khowaga
Welcome to my Web site. My name is Chris, and I’ll be your host. I\'m an opinionated, snarky, gay academic with a predilection for the history, the Arab world, languages, photography, food, and music. I live in Austin, Texas. You can read more about me, learn 100 random things about me, and if you’re wondering what the heck a khowaga is, click here. Feel free to browse, read, and leave comments!
Looking in the other direction past the statue of George (Washington) on the South Mall toward the Texas State Capitol.

Hmm… not sure why this didn’t post… maybe the program didn’t like the HTML? Or is Chris sitting somewhere approving these babies? Here’s try # 2 with BBCode

The comment, of course, due to the fact that I live in the #9 city.
Actually, I always view Austin and Columbus as the big rivals in the up-and-coming city category, and you guys are beating us as far as perceived music scene, so it’s good to be on top in something!
