I don't know whether or not you all remember...

But mosquito bites suck. I mean, first they suck your blood and the after effects suck, too. I got my legs savaged on Sunday night and I'm itching like...well...I can't come up with an apt simile at this point, but it's maddening. It's only a few more days. I suppose I can hack it.

Shamala tacked on my first bindi today. Here's a pic for y'all taken with my handy dandy cell.

I took another pic, but I look kinda psycho, so I'm posting this one instead.

New hotel is sweet still, except for the fact that the power has gone off for a few seconds about five times since I returned to my room. I keep forgetting that stability is not really this place. Kali rules here, people! Speaking of which, I need to gets me some statuary. Hopefully from that sweet sandalwood shop that Tim visited.

I'm going out to get my bangles and a sari tomorrow. Should be interesting! I'm planning to get everyone else their trinkets, too if I can. We shall see how the finances hold out!! Here's hoping that Tim has bought lots of mac and cheese and/or top ramen for my return. Otherwise, I might be fighting Viggo for his food. I'm sure that that, coupled with my long absence, will further endear me to the fuzzy, demanding one. Maybe I should tell him that cats are good eating in some Indian states?

Blah blah blah...clearly, I'm needing to ramble on via blog as I have rambled from hotel to hotel in this city. Speaking of which, as I was about to check out of my second hotel, the power went out and I had to wait for 20 minutes before I could do so. Good times.

Dunno if I'm going to be able to go to Mysore this weekend. I kinda want to get out of the city and I kinda don't want to spend the money and/or swelter. We'll see how persuasive my AMZN colleagues are, won't we? Luv 'n' stuff.
