Why won't Mariah Scary just go away???????

When the hell did Martin Van Buren make it onto a dollar coin?

So I finally arrive in Newark, standing at the luggage carousel, I can't say that I was too optimistic that my bag was going to be there, given the change in flight plans AND the gross negligence and ignorance of Continental Airlines. Of course I didn't want my bag to not be there, I just thought it might take longer to arrive. So we had a good ( Read more... )

So now I've gone about a total of 20 hours without a cigarette, and have had about 8 hours of sleep the last two nights. Maybe that's why I'm having a hard time figuring out how I missed a flight when I was at the gate 2 hours in advance! Serious! The people denied me, telling me that I needed to get a new bording pass, but then when the bording ( Read more... )

Between the jackass internet connections here and stupid ass Apple, I'm about to throw this fucking Powerbook off the balcony! Today is now the second time in a month that iTunes has apparently been 'damaged' forcing me to import 2 weeks of music back in. This time though iTunes told me I had to register, but then proceeded to have some of my info ( Read more... )

So I'm back in Botswana. I'm not all that happy about it, but I knew it was inevitable. Made it back to my village yesterday and spent about a hour vacuuming all the spider-webs, along with some spiders. It's really amazing how desolate the village is. I want my hot shower back! While I'm happy that summer is over, it get really, really cold taking ( Read more... )

Ok, now I have no doubt. Afrikaaners are all WEIRD! I went to a sakie-sakie this past weekend. I had no clue before what such an event was, but was told that it was a monthly, gay, Afrikaaner get together, and it was a little bit country. Well, it was crazy. I never thought I's see 200+ gay folk go so crazy for polka! Serious. They were doing this ( Read more... )

Seeing as though this trip was not planned, I didn't prepare my hut to be left for so long. Not only am I scared that the spiders have finally won in taking it over, but then there is all sorts of food, well some, left in the refridgerator...open milk, fruit/veg scraps (yeah, I put them in a bag in the fridge in an effort to minimize bugs in the ( Read more... )

If I knew that I could have a good time being medically evacuated to Pretoria, South Africa, I think I may have been a little more careless earlier. It's SO GREAT to be in a city!! Yeah, it wasn't all that great being kicked by a horse, which sounds a little cliche now that I write it. But I think a little pain might have been worth being able to ( Read more... )

I've been in Botswana for just over 48 hours. It's been really amazing. The people here are crazy friendly, at least the ones that I've come across. A bunch of volunteers were invited to a party that one of the local football teams were throwing at the hotel. We went and were forced to dance, with one guy yelling "shake your body" over and over and ( Read more... )
