musings from En-Zed:

hahhahHAHHAHA (please read as evil laugh).

welcome to the inner sanctum of my brain.  ive been driving pretty much every day for at least 5 hours for about a week and these are some of the things ive been thinking about.  

-when they are far away in the fields, sheep look like lice.  from personal experience: yeesh.

-sometimes, you just have to stop taking photos because youre going to miss what youre trying to capture.

-all of the cars that ive rented seem to be ultimate POSs.  this one has taught itself to whistle quite loudly whenever you drive it longer than it likes.  it def causes some stares in these small towns with like 2 people on the streets.

- the clouds in this country defy words.  they seem to always be forming multiple layers of beauty; coming from everywhere and delineating the pattern of the wind like something ive never seen before.

-i still hate other people's children.  especially at campsites where the walls are actually just tent flaps.  their only redeeming quality is the fact that they cant drink yet and i can.  its tenuous i know, but whatever.

-vegetarian diet seems to be agreeing with me.  probably because i sleep in a tent by myself and can allow myself to do all the things that veggies do to you.

-there are idiots in every country.

-def going to have to come back here.  theres too much to see and 6 weeks was not enough.

-people here have no idea what salsa is.

-i seem to be continuously and comfortably redefining myself.

-living out of a car is fairly comfortable as long as you shower regularly as have money for gas and booze.  coincidentally, i do.

-the best meal i have yet had in NZ was some take-away fish and chips from a seafood market in a port called Mapua that was accompanied by some locally brewed (like, right next door) beer.  that, and wandering through a swap-meet-type market in nelson constituted the best day that ive had in a couple of weeks.

-if he doesnt interest me to the nth degree, its really not worth it.  there are a million of him.

-OH MY GOD I HAVE SO MUCH SHTI TO DO WHEN I GET HOME.

-i really must do more camping back in the states.

-i almost said "sweet as" today.  kinda cool.

-omg.  SANDFLIES.  omg.  MOSQUITOS.

-i miss you.  you know who you are...  and to the other ones:  just email me crazypants!

-i cant wait for bali!!

-so glad i took some time off from the DocProg.

-i should really think about starting a restaurant around granny's recipes.  maybe supported with some serbian cuisine as well.  could be pretty awesome.

thats all i can think of for now.
love you,
Taryn
