bored bored bored. i ran out of money, and i mean full-on flat out 7 bucks to make it till next payday broke. meaning no beer money, meaning this is the first time i've been sober at night in a long while... not liking it too much. i suppose i'm dry for the next two weeks due to lack of funds.... ah, i need to quit drinking for a while anyway. it's a good thing.
except for the DT's aiieeeebugsundermyskin!!!!!
hahahaha. ha.
got an audio recording program for the laptop so i was able to go through all the old field recordings i made in indonesia and nepal and start transferring them to a non-degrading media.... found some tapes of myself speaking thai to someone, and i don't know what the hell i was saying.... it's strange to hear yourself speak a language you no longer understand...
also found the recording i made of a nepali guy and his 8 yr old daughter playing folk songs in swayambunath.... i was pleasantly surprised to find that i had stuck around for about a half hour recording them... also a tape of me spinning all the prayer wheels as i walked around boudhanath stupa, and some tibetan nuns chanting.... if i don't go traveling again soon i am going to lose my mind. i was such a retard for racking up so much student debt in the ensuing years, now i'm tied down here for a long damn time. feh.
what i really need to do is go on a meditation retreat or something. i'm too locked into my bad habits of laziness and morbid introspection to get a practice together here... maybe mr s.n. goenka can help me.
not logistically very possible though, what with my nondriving ass being trapped in tempe and all...
i'm pleasantly surprised by my lack of a libido lately. maybe my body has finally figured out that there is nobody around to have sex with. i look forward to my sex drive declining further with age.
i suppose that's it for now...
what sort of non-mammalian being would you like to be reincarnated as?
i gotta go with the galapagos tortoise.
