I take these vitamins, something extraordinarily potent called Vitamax. I took this stuff on the recommendation of all my girlfriends who I complained to about being tired lately. And I felt much better, right away. The drawback of these supplements is that my body hair has grown extraordinarily luxuriant. I have taken to stroking my […]

D has departed Cairo, oozing smoke and heaving queasily….but not before inveigling her way into yet another moustache threading tutorial!

Had an inconsequential last few days, but feel pressured to extract noteworthy events from them for your delectation. Well then, Friday night. I took a taxi to meet some friends in Zamalek.

I haven’t blogged about the fascinating things that have been occurring lately due to having no internet at my new apartment. In surprisingly third-worldian fashion, they’re can only come set it up on the 22nd, and the telephone on the 4th of October! I bet they get better service in villages in Nepal. I really […]
