interim indulgence in idleness

10:07 am

sitting in front of computer trying to ignore yoga homework...the "Rejuvenating and relaxing" i told everyone proudly about over winter hols has rather turned into general laziness, sleeping in whenever possible, and eating obscene amounts bad bad and yest so good chinese food...so equally glorious by my standards...however, me et best fry found some hidden sights of spartanburg on our three hour denial of being lost in the car last night...thankfully we found i-85 at some point...which by the way does the strangest things, ie. do the scariest roundabout with two lanes (inside one utterly pointless except for clutching you in its tricky grasp and will make you go around in endless circles during heavy traffic), and magically pop up on one road so that when you thought you were on a two lane backroad to somewheres you suddenly find yourself on interstate traffic...but like any good wayward traveller i managed to snap a few good pics...



the looming desolate buildings of spartanburg presbyterian's dorms...perhaps it's the lighting, or the obvious bias, but it looks rather like a certain government run institutionaly correctional containment area otherwise colloquially known as a jail, prison, or 'the big house'...




some great street art, just when i thought that there was nothing even closely resembling an art scene in spartanburg







and yes, we've struck again... in our divinely inspired mission to capture every bronze statue/grouping of freakish bronze figures in the town, i present you with... EINSTEIN...

on a different note, valentine's is coming up and so for some reason one of my very happy very married aunts in a recent conversation was probing into the corners and crevices of my "relationships"

v happy v married aunty: ...but Frances you're so young...oh, i remember when i was your age and i also thought that i was never going to get married, and *strange gutteral huffing sound* i didn't need a man...

moi: i...er...well i mean i'm just being realistic...and i don't think tha-

aunty: *now a cross between a tsking and guffawing noise* don't any of your FRIENDS have boyfriends or anything like that?...hmmmmmmm?

moi: (at which point i had abandoned all hope of reconnecting with Earth)...well...yes, but i'm planning on smothering her before valentine's...

mischieviously (and not being able to spell it) yours, frances
