The year's first good news
Got an e-mail from Malati today saying she and her family are fine.
I hope everyone's new year went well. Mine was pretty chill, but fun — like an amplified normal Friday night. Pictures forthcoming, once I put together the new computer I got for Christmas (2 GHz AMD 64-bit processor, 1 GB DDR RAM, 200 GB hard drive, for those who care).
Four interesting bits of new information revealed this weekend:
1. If you get drunk and are thinking of ordering a stripper on a whim, don't. My friend Ted has a brown streak on the shoulder of his shirt that attests to this fact. I shit you not.
2. My friend S—, who asks to remain unnamed, can shake it like a salt shaker. It left me leakin' and Danny soakin' wet.
3. My other friend Lomi apparently reads this "journal," as she calls it, fairly regularly. I didn't even realize she knew it existed. Glad to have you, Ms. Kriel. That brings my South African expatriate readership up to two.
4. Youngish people in San Antonio are always looking for a fight, it seems, and not afraid to do their best to pick one. Whether in a bar or someone's yard, youngish people in San Antonio are fucking stupid.
Until next time...
UPDATE: Yes, the stripper story is exactly what you're imagining. It was that revolting. She was supposed to have left by the time we arrived at the party. She had not. I'm sorry I had to witness it.
most of my fam stays in hyderabad AP which far enough inland that no one was affected by the tsunami. seeing how its pretty much destroyed many of hte areas near here is just devastating though.Besides the realization that I don't know shit about Indian geography, this e-mail means I can stop drinking so much to keep myself distracted.
a couple of days ago i left hyderabad in south india and am now in goa, a state on the western coast. we've been hanging out on the beach a lot, but b/c its on the arabian sea side, so theres no chance of aftershocks or anything affecting this area.
