gutrot 3
today, i was going to catch up on all the things i’ve done while i’ve been maintaining radio silence. however, i seem to have contracted a godawful case of gutrot, and the next 8 hours are earmarked for groaning quietly in my bed of pain. very quickly, though: i’m meeting heaps of people, i have a bike (yes mum, with lights), i bought a shisha, and i finished all the code and am working as a solder monkey. Film at 11.
You know, if you mix cola flavoured shisha with lemon flavoured shisha it will get a cool Pepsi twist kinda thing happening.
It was indescribably fun for me to sit on my Kurraba Point balcony on Saturday mornings huffing away on a metre tall hookah, watching the harbour and soaking up the horrified looks of the neighbours. Except for that time I mistook firelighters for coals and set my cactus on fire. Then the neighbours looked really horrified.
Hm, that’s a good trick. I’ve tried lemon with mint, which was pretty decent too.
It’s a pity you had to mess up your Middle Eastern savoir-faire with a cactus-related mishap, though. I’m sure you looked extremely exotic for at least twenty minutes.
It was highly embarassing. I was actually running back and forth with flaming tongs, yelling “whaddoo i do? whaddoo i do?” and I remember someone saying “Throw it in the pot” which I did.
Cactus is pretty spectacular when it burns. I’m not sure what the chemical reason for that is, but the flame was at least 2.5 feet high.
But for 15 seconds at least, I was cool.
