Functioning at 80%

Like the title says, I think I'm on the mend.

I watched minimal TV, which is also a sign. It also could have been the oh so pleasant documentary on how global warming is going to lead to Armageddon in 50 years. That turned me off to the boob tube for a while. :) It just reaffirmed why I am traveling now.

As for India, I think I am having some "let's get to Southern India" spasms. It's time for a change.

Also, though this is not related to heading south, I am craving steak like you wouldn't believe. I was doing SO well with the self imposed moratorium on meat until the last few days. Nick, my veggie brother, would have been so proud. Then I read something in a Thailand guidebook about steaks and my mouth literally started watering.

Obviously, in the land of holy cows I couldn't get any steak. I had the next best thing, pork dumplings at a chinese restaurant. Ok, I swore after seeing some really nasty pigs on the roadside that I wouldn't eat swine anymore, but I couldn't help it. They were so tasty and SALTY. MMMmmm and the soy sauce.....

Ant promptly quoted Jules from Pulp Fiction and how "sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie but I wouldn't know because I won't eat the dirty motherfuckers." Yeah yeah, I know, I shouldn't be eating meat in India because if anything is going to give the ol' Delhi Belly, it will likely be sketchy meat.

What can you do?? I was weak!!!!!!

Speaking of weak, my last few posts have been mighty weak, so I will try to improve and attempt to keep up with Ant's poetic observations. :) I nearly banned him from my blog for them.

So what you're telling me is meat mends all wounds? Next time I get a cut on my finger, I'll wrap a Slim Jim around it.

Good to see that you are taking it easy and feeling better now. South India will be a nice change. Not speaking from experience, but I hear it is more friendly and relaxed. They also have Aruvedic treatments. Might be a cool thing to try...see if you can't clear up some of that black lung.

Any post that you write is a good post....and amusing. I had to stifle a laugh when I heard about the slapping of the little girl. I know, not nice, but it was a funny thing to picture in my head. Also the part about you curling up in a ball and wanting steak hahah soooo funny. I LOVE steak as well. I'm gonna be in the same situation. What to do, what to do!

Glad you are on the mend. Ant, keep doing what your doing :)

e,

Aren't you supposed to be on a plane or something?? Quit being a WISEASS!!! I'd KILL for a Slim Jim right now.

Dewbs,
I'm going to try some more massage. I had one in Rishikesh by this small Indian woman and it was a bit more "comprehensive" than I expected... errrr, um. Yeah. Maybe she thought I was cute or something..... though the amount of leg hair at the time would probably prevent that. :) Anywho, more massage will be occuring.
