So now what? Whatever I write won’t be as cool as my last blog, so I won’t even try. I can promise you though, that I will print out all your awesome comments and turn them into a story. I’m not much of a writer and it may take a while, but it’s coming. Anyway, all you get today is an update on my not so eventful week.

I’ve been working a lot and spent a lot of time tending to my SG Balkan page, which is not doing as well as I’d hoped it would. I guess I expected a bit too much and thought it would be easy. Nope, that’s not the way it goes. I have to get it out there somehow, and I still haven’t figured out how. As a friend of mine said, there’s nothing wrong with taking baby steps.

I taught another IELTS workshop this Saturday and that was as boring as ever. Oh, there was a lady that screeched like a banshee because there was an ant on her pants (not in – unfortunately) and that’s about the most exciting thing that happened during those 6 hours. surreal

I visited one of the local flea markets this morning and bought ‘Treasure Island’ and ‘The Prisoner in the Mask’ for the whopping price of R20 ($2.30) and discovered my new favourite clothing shop. Okay, not favourite as in I-want-to-buy-all-the-clothes-in-there kind of favourite, but oh-my-god-is-this-even-real kind of favourite. It is owned by the campest gay dude you could possibly meet and it is filled with retro stuff from the 70s and the 80s. And yes, he has feather boas, cat suits and he wants to give me a makeover. I guess my jeans and a t-shirt outfit wasn’t to his taste. I’m taking Vassilis and Lumo there next Sunday and we’ll be sure to take lots of photos. wink

Hope your weekend was more eventful than mine! kiss

I stole all the awesome forms blog post. Sorry 'bout that.

Just think; you could be having adventures with Turnip Shampoo, too.

Well, I've made it back as far as Berlin. The trains, at least, still run.

That is, my Warsawa -> Berlin train this morning was horribly messed up. Which is to say it was an entire 30 minutes late. That's about as bad as the trains round here get. I freaking love rail.

And that's fine. More turnip shampoo for me. If you change your mind, I suppose I could still send you the bottle, but that offer lasts only as long as the turnip shampoo does. Which could be... a long time. As the turnip shampoo sits there in the shower. And intimidates guests. With its turniposity.
