mood: tired music: 'the tourist' by radiohead

someone/anyone/everyone needs to remind me when i get home: ring mod

i'm in jakarta now. apparently, the city is celebrating it's 477th anniversary, so all the sales and marketing gimmicks are flaring up. 477 is a huge number. freakin huge.

so i've been talking a lot with my aunt. catching up on the last 6 months and such, it's been really great. her english is much better than i expected too.

in the past week it's been fun getting around, seeing as how each indonesian driver is playing their own version of gta: central java. the traffic is horribly insane. no one cares what anyone else does as long as you get to where you're going as fast as humanly possible. the streets are hazy with unregulated exhaust fumes and the blaring horns and highbeams of hundreds of thousands of air conditioned suv's. that, and jakarta is extremely prone to cloudbursts and flash flooding around this time of year. oh, and did i mention that this city is quite possibly the hottest city in indonesia? jeez...

anyways, the other day i realized that my grandma, my dad, and i all walk with a slight limp. weird.

i'll be in jakarta for one more day after tonight, then my outward bound flight leaves at 9am the day after tomorrow. i'm flying home by myself.....^_^.....and i'll have the house to myself for a week......^_^.........o_o wait.....what am i gonna do about food?..... o_o*
