It's New Year's Eve here in Kenya
officially… It’s about 1:20 am, I’m watching the newest of the Rambo installation, and I’m good and hammered on whiskey and Tusker.  Tomorrow I have a few hours of work followed by jello shots, revelry, and hopefully NOT getting hit in the face by a crucifix while being spit on and called a Jew*

10 pm on Boxing Day and we watched A Muppet...
Also had fresh calamari for dinner.  No family this holiday season, but I’m trying to cope. Sacrifices… P.S. The book shipment arrived today, only twice as long as they said it would take.  Also they tried to charge us twice.  Karibu Kenya!

Staying in a badass place on Lamu...
Went for a drunken mini-hike with some French folks, found a ship graveyard on the beach, and drank a hefty amount of beer.  I plan on shooting some inspired shit over the next few days, SO GET READY.

Don't Ask Don't TellUS
daveholmes: This is a great day. It really is. But I have to say I’m getting a little tired of busting with pride when the United States of America joins the world.  Would this have passed if we didn’t need troops?

Dear Followers,
I’ve been reading a lot on this trip, a whole lot, and the best new book I’ve read has been World War Z.  Read it, trust me.  It’ll take like a day and a half, don’t be assholes.  The realism injected into this faux-oral history is beyond plausible, it’s almost exactly what I imagined happening.

There are flies buzzing around and humping...
A pair of these little deviants just fell out of the air humping and landed on my keyboard.  It’s like living in an insect porno.
