Failing At Doing Nothing

Cruising...hmpf. Not so sure about this. The infrastructure of it is flawless, but it's like being inside a television show. An Australian television show. An extremely mainstream idea of The Good Life is socially constructed around us, nothing is intellectually taxing, the staff resemble the cast of a Bollywood movie, and shipboard magazine

Hmmm. I suspect I would have to bring lots of stuff to read.

Wonderful! (the place. When -if, and god forbids- they go underwater at least you´ll be able to say "I was there") I can imagine the weirdness of the cruise ship... well, not my ideal place. And I can imagine the yatch club board, similar to those in Galapagos or Corn island or Juan Fernandez island... a brief glimpse into the rythm of local life...

One of our ex-flatmates went on South Pacific cruise with three other Goths. They were the youngest four passengers on board by far, and seemed to have had a ball. My personal favourite if her photo's was of them all done up to the nines (frockcoats, top hats, floor length dresses, gloves, sunglasses etc), posed in front of cheesy 50s and 60s cruise posters featuring sunsets and palm trees with cheeky grins. It looked awesome.

I definitely thinking taking more freaks along is the strategy. Good luck, and I'm still envious. :)
