Dribble

Hey,

i'm all out of it, i feel like i've been repeating myself a lot, and so i can't remember what i've already written in this here blaggy and what i've just been telling people. that's partially why i'm into condensing my life into lists. i've been in the capital for a week, eating haenous amounts of food and drinking whiskey and red wine, so my body is freaking out a bit. all these forgotten food groups such as meat, dairy, and fresh fruit. i have major food baby issues. but, i have been showering every single day almost since i've been here, and i feel almost too clean. my hair is all floofy and shit. AND i stole lindseys clothes so i'm all pretty, too! (she has lots of pretty clothes). so all in all life is good. i leave tom morn for home for a week where i will relax, sleep all day, and read lots of mediocre books. then i'll be back for more rich food and alcohol and friends and internets and dresses and cleanliness and things.

my camera was mia since last month when i was in town, so no new pics. maybe i'll take some this intervening week so i can post some eye candy next time i'm in town.

ok. i'm too out of it to post. goodbye forever!

Formal Invitation

So, first off, i realize you're all broke, but in the case of fiscal responsibility/sudden bouts of inheritance, i would like to formally invite anyone desiring happiness/adventure in life to visit me.

Just think: sometime later on you'll see this amazing (wo)man, and have the desire to attract them. if you follow my advice, you'll be able to start speaking loudly about "when i was in africa...". Said hottie will be irresistibly drawn to you, and you will then regale them with tales of wonder. we can even feed some babies or something while you're here, if you're into that. You'll be a chick/dude magnet! The logic for visiting me is undeniable.

To excite you about your impending visit, i've put together 3 suggeseted vacation packages. these by no means need to be followed. off the beaten track is a-ok with me.

1. The Kingdom in the Sky $
The most affordable package involves chillaxin with me in Lesotho. See what my life is like!
possible adventurez: pony trekking, hiking, using a pit latrine, donkey pub crawls

2. Summer Lovin' (Winter for you N. Hemisphere fools) $$
While the rest of the continent is boiling, we can frolic round South Africa! Durban, Cape Town, the Wild Coast, Kruger Nat'l park all await!
possible adventurez: swimming in both the indian and atlantic oceans, being eaten by lions, going on wine tours, etc.

3. Go North $$$
good for winter, also fun any other time. these adventurez are more expensive because they're farther away (= more transportation, more time away, etc.)
Mozambique: beaches, seafood, dancing, djs. possible adventurez: aquiring a harem, introducing new dance moves
Botswana: elephants, okavango delta, victoria falls. possible adventurez: falling out of a canoe and getting eaten by hippos, "swimming" in the mist of Vic Falls
Namibia: namib desert, large animals, skeleton coast. possible adventurez: dune boarding, leopard feeding
Swaziland: like Lesotho but with infrastructure and better crafts! possible adventurez: seeing the "virgin parade" where a bunch of jailbait parade around naked, so men can decide which one they want.
