The (not-so) cultural moment of the day

Nothing makes you feel more integrated and accepted that chilling with two grown males, sipping tea, and watching a great TV show known as:

Teen Titans!

Although this was a cartoon I watched back in middle/high school, it was in French, which makes this a more "cultural and educational" experience.

Regardless, the show was appreciated and enjoyed by all, which I guess counteracts any silliness of 3 adults watching an American children's cartoon dubbed into foreign languages...

WAIST 2011

Time once again for the annual West Africa Intramural Softball Tournament.

Has it already been a year since the last one? This purely American weekend consisted of lots of softball, costumes (my region was ballerina themed), and a strict diet of beers and hotdogs. Doritos were rewarded for closely following this diet.

After 4 intense days of games and serious partying and even more serious dancing, my body is a bit angry at me. But I've taken the "work hard play hard" concept to it's most extremes. Once I phase out of "recovery mode," its time to work hard again...

New Poetry Online

It's been awhile, but I just got another installment of slam poetry recently performed online. This starts a series called "The 5 Senses of Senegal." So, more to come later...

Thanks to Peace Corps Senegal and surrounding countries for being just a great and responsive audience.

A Long and Painful absence

I apologize to any hardcore faithful blog fans of mine for the absence. Yes, it was long, and yes it was a bit painful.

Shortly after my last blog entry, I was ill. How bad? Facebook quoted me as "liquids coming out of both ends. That can't be good..." That and some intense fevers made life a bit uncomfortable and difficult for a good 3 days.

But fortunately, I'm well and eating again. Don't feel too bad, all PCVs have the occassional GI issues, its all part of the job...

Yep, I'm still ok, mom ;)
