The exoticism of shitting donkeys. Gearing up to revive this here corner of the world wide web, to catch up and move forward on all things i love about travel, when i came across this:. Travel writing: why it sucks. I hereby vow never to use the words/phrases "oasis", "beaten path", or "land of contrasts".*. And not to suck. Nb purposely following british style of interior quotes because, well, it just looks better. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Coachella : apr 11.

the exoticism of shitting donkeys: August Eve
http://bonusmiles.blogspot.com/2008/07/august-eve.html
The exoticism of shitting donkeys. Here we are on August eve, and I've less than three weeks until I return home to Chicago. This is madness to me. Where, oh where has the time gone? I've barely scratched the surface on museum visits; woefully under-explored the culinary scene (also due to budget constraints.); not lost those ten pounds I packed on over the winter (although biking almost everyday makes me feel OK about that); and, shamefully, not finished my thesis. 10:41 PM, August 04, 2008.

The exoticism of shitting donkeys. Remember when this used to be a travel blog? Well, grad school happened so i haven't been traveling much. in the shamefully undocumented nine months since my last post, i've visited costa rica. And new york city. alas, that was all before school started. This, however, is why they invented spring break. Stories and photos to follow in a timely fashion. maybe. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The exoticism of shitting donkeys. On the flip side, i was elated to learn that nowadays you can submit your own passport photo; you're not at the mercy of the drugstore photographer, nor out ten bucks. but oh, the pressure! Smile, no smile? Hair up, down? Does my head fit within the prescribed 1" to 1 3/8" frame? Freedom can be paralyzing. 2001 (i still have that sweater). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The exoticism of shitting donkeys. Turkey 04: Hot Air Ballooning. 18 May 2007 (Friday). Pamukkale, en route to Ephesus. I am pleasantly shocked at how much is powered by solar energy. From tiny villages to the biggest cities, solar panels on every rooftop, some more conspicuous than others, sitting beside water tanks warming in the sun. It's impressive. Almost too impressive. Must be a law, or an ordinance, or maybe it's actually cheaper. Terrible photo because I forgot my flash. Next morning, 16 May, we...

the exoticism of shitting donkeys: Back in Chicago
http://bonusmiles.blogspot.com/2008/08/back-in-chicago.html
The exoticism of shitting donkeys. Arrived home yesterday, with 146 pounds of luggage in tow. (The Southwest folks were kind enough to fake the weight so i was charged $50 instead of $100 for the overage.) Now I'm re-adjusting to the size of my apartment, which seems so contained compared to the whole house I just inhabited. Also, my cat forgot me. I ticked through my checklist of sites to see before I leave with a shocking degree of efficiency. Last Saturday (16th), I hit a matinee at the E St Cinema.

The exoticism of shitting donkeys. Before it completely escapes my memory! Bad Ass. In typical Vedder fashion, his between-song banter was thoughtful, hilarious, stammered, and potent. His story about ‘surfing’ in the Potomac had it all. Guess you had to be there…. First stop: Jim Henson's Fantastic World. Next: Permanent collection at Hirshhorn. I'd seen The Cinema Effect twice, but the museum closed before I ever made it to the top floor. Eh. I had the apple pie with cinnamon ice cream. Also amazing.

the exoticism of shitting donkeys: bad news

The exoticism of shitting donkeys. My bicycle is no more. Riding home from foggy bottom tonight, somehow the chain became lodged between the two front chainrings, so tightly that it bent the metal cover over the chainring. it's now shaped like an egg, and locked to a pole at 14th and K. (fitting that i should 'break down' near my old office.). I suppose no better time than now, 36 hours before i'm scheduled to leave town. makes a sad scene that much sadder.

The exoticism of shitting donkeys. Dumber than this, our country shall not get.". Today I attended the 164th Meeting of the National Council on the Arts. A presentation on the NEA's latest and largest project, The Big Read. Began Putting aside the somewhat ironic fact that the National Endowment for the Arts. Is sponsoring a literacy program, while the National Endowment for the Humanities. Is concurrently sponsoring a visual arts. Anyway, I digress. While the Egyptian orgs read Fahrenheit 451.
