Ready to Rock
The shit, it is coming
together.
Yesterday was great... I love that
quiet-before-the-storm feeling right before you are about to embark on a big
trip, that empty time where you sit down and wonder what's going to come your
way. That was yesterday. I got a whole bunch of shit together for India, and
then my friend Leslie who went to Calcutta last year, for a little drug
deal,
(malaria pills), and clothes made to
handle the Calcutta climate:
Then I had dinner and ice cream
with my friends Rachel and Jason, who soothed my growingly-nervous soul. I
don't know why I remember to take pictures of the inanimate objects involved in
my day, and not the people. Yesterday was smooth and
great.Today...I am getting nervous.
This morning I blew a huge whack of money on all this
stuff:
which is almost everything off the
"stuff you need for Calcutta" list that I was handed when I signed on for the
trip*. I am still missing (a) a money belt, and (b) really hardcore mosquito
repellant. Other than that, my poo is almost all in a
pile.* the box of Feria
haircolor was not on the list, but my formerly-purple hair looks really bad,
and, as though I had any spare time, really need to fix that before I
go.
