I don't know a title, you be creative ya twit!
It has been a while since I last posted, well a month to be precise Virgo - not that I am a virgo, and not that I believe in that codswoddle, but if I was and did then that would be the case. In the meanwhile, the blog has been attacked by unscrupulous comment spammers with their lolita stories. And Emma has come and gone from Sri Lanka, destined for bigger and better things in Melbourne with the onset of her studies in Masters of Public Health. Master Emma, I like the ring of it. I always find Master a funny title, because it is what Geeves calls you when you are like 12. Anyhoot.
My street became famous two days ago, featuring on BBC News. At the end of my street, a group of monks are protesting against the governments's refusal to withdraw from the Cease Fire Agreement with the LTTE. Yesterday was its 5 year anniversary. The monks want more war, from what it seems. They also have signs at the end of my street which I pass every day, like "Claim Back Our Independence and Remove Tiger-Supporting NGOs". It saddens me to see Sri Lanka, such a beautiful country with so much potential, continue fight amoung themselves.
I wish I had more to talk about, but unfortunately it is Friday, 5:30pm, I am still at work and I can smell the beer. Talking about beer, in this week in 1935 the first canned Beers were produced. And in this week 2007, Byron found an importer of VB stubbies - and at US$18 (AUD$22ish) that's cheaper than Australia! Some would say, "Now all you need to do is find a meat pie importer and you'll be set" - beat ya to it! Boscastle pies taboot. And with that, I'm ready for the 2007 Cricket World Cup in the West Endies: BRING IT ON!
Before Emma left, we managed to travel quite a bit around the country. One of the things we did was go to Yala National Park and Bundala National Park a fortnight or so ago. It was pretty cool, though Emma got really annoyed with me taking so many photos of stupid birds, "When I met you, you didn't like birds. I feel ripped off". Welp before you feel too sorry for her, this is what she got to see on our adventuring:
Little Green Bee Eater doing his thang...
Grey Langur munching on some leaves. If you see a pack of these dudes and you are in a safari jeep, get the guy to rev his engine loudly - they go "ape shit". Punny aren't I?
Elephant. Enough said.
Just a drawing I did while on the trip...
Homo Embo Wallerus in her unfamiliar territory.
Did you know there are peacocks, peahens, and they are all part of the Peafowl species? I thought they were just all peacocks... here's one doing a dance anyway.
Nimal, my trusty driver, came with us. As Emma would say, "He's a dude!". And that he is.
An injured Intermediate Egret we found while on a boat. In the background, you see it I know you do, yes you're right, it's a $2.50 COIN SLOT! Love the crack.
We visited Nimal's house on the way back, and this is a funky looking bird (Hornbill?) having a dig at the papayas.
A mean looking Crocodilus ... if only Steve was around, I am sure he would have shoved his thumb up it's clacker to piss it off - just for kicks.
This is a Stupa (Buddhist monument thingymajig where you can pray). This one is in Tissamahara, Hambantota, and is really old.. like 2500 years old.
I know I have shown photos of me at the eye surgery before, but Emma liked this photo. These people are waiting to have cataracts removed...
And finally, this is a mason on a housing construction site.
To all those that have moved countries recently, (Chris, Caz, George, Phi, AYADs) and to those applying for Aussie citizenship - you know who you are - I wish you the best of luck!
Peace, Love, and Tweety Pies,
B.

What is the go with beer these days??? You can get VB cheaper in Sri Lanka than we can get here in OZ and it is now not uncommon to find Crownies cheaper than Carlton Draught!! What is the go with that?? I think we need a Master of Public Health to do an investigation.
Cheers Tatters
Haha, dam straight Tatters. I am going to start exporting VB from Sri Lanka to Australia and make a tiddy little buck. I reckon there is some serious fiddling of the Beer Market, and I won't stand for it! I may however stumble because of it...

Geez, Udokier. Now i am happy I acquired all of my piercings for college. Outdated handbag sweetheart type. Think olsen twins or anything from another location IncharenaInch nowadays. Trend mullets, limited haircuts with noteworthy plug-ins, huge sun shades, device-y and flowy garments that give a female no shape what-so-ever, the ones unattractive cotton jackets with dog's fur trim. Also i detest, and also have generally hated, nearly anything bought with a retail store comparable to Range, wanting somebody appreciates the trendy-get elegant style.
