So, as expected, I’ve kinda settled back nicely into my Bali routine of coffee, surfing, hallucinogens, catching up on movies and TV, and doing yoga. One small hitch, tho.
Seems I didn’t scrub out a reef scratch I got out on the islands last month, and I went to the Doctor yesterday to take care of an infected abscess on my right calf. It should be good after a week of antibiotics — no worries for now, we’ll see how it unfolds.
One of the things I’ve just seen/heard since getting back here is Lilly Allen’s newest album ‘It’s Not Me, It’s You’, which came out back on February 9th (I live in Indonesia, it takes time for this shit to get to us, okay?). Anyway, I heard the first release, ‘The Fear’ last nite on Jimmy Kimmel. I swear this chick can do no wrong — there’s a great mix of 80’s synth-pop, current electronica production, and awesome tongue-in-cheek lyrics (“I am a weapon of massive consumption …”). Jeez, I so wanna marry this chick.
There is this little red bottle of chinese stuff I just call obat merah, something like Yao Taoh Tihn is the name (I’ll look it up later if you need it) that is sold in most toko’s for like rp500.
Anyway it is the best disinfectant known to man. It stains you red like iodine, but works wonders on reef cuts. No idea whats in it, there are almost no english letters on it.
I take it everywhere.
M, yeah, I use the Chinese stuff all the time. I’m not sure what happened with this one tho. Thanks for the thought, mate.
If you think “The Fear” is great, check out the latest release – I almost wet myself when I heard it for the first time.
