Upstairs at 4am? Not a good idea.

I rent the basement apartment at my aunt's house. This means my uncle lives upstairs.

I have a nice daylight studio (with a fireplace they're going to fix), doorwall to a forest, small room to use as an office and prayer room (I had it as a bedroom at first but no windows meant I slept like a log and woke up very disoriented), my own bath ... and a shared kitchen. Upstairs.

Now four am is a time of day I usually don't see unless I've been up all night. And if I've been up all night, 4am is a time of day I'm not moving very fast. I certainly am not going upstairs to get a snack.

My uncle works very early hours and gets breakfast around 4 or 5am. Apparently. I did not know this before today.

I was tired last night and fell asleep at 10pm or so. Woke up at around 3:30 (wiiiide awake and hungry). Heard my uncle poking around in the kitchen and decided food was a good idea.

Er. Apparently 4am breakfast is a scuff-around-in-your-underwear event.

Yeep. *runs back downstairs*

...says the ficwriter who started bugging Alyce about this in, oh, August?

What is a Tulku? Gee, I'm glad you asked. The Dalai Lama helps us out on this issue.

In the process he explains the logic behind the idea of past lives, the purpose of recognizing and enthroning reincarnated Lamas or 'tulkus' and all sorts of other Tibetan Buddhist fundamentals.

If you were curious about Tibetan Buddhism or why there was a Dalai Lama at all, come and fill your cup.
