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.
