Fast and Loose for you, the reader

What I written was a gem oa passage. It was 1500 words of witicisms, hilarious stories and insightful remarks. I have done my best to recreate it here, but I can't garauntee anything.

First off, so much for me updating my blog everyday. I can't even seem to manage to blog everyday that somethings exciting happens. The problem is I either do little in my day that I think would interest someone other than me that I don't think it is worth my time to write or I do so much that I am exhausted. Either way, when I finally do sit down to write, I find myself either overwhelmed by what I thought were a boring few days or by one clearly action packed day. (As an aside, boring is a relative term. I'm never bored, but somedays I don't have anything inherently exciting happen. For example, my walk here took a half hour longer than unsual, because I was distracted my vervet monkeys, a resident baboon, and a hoard of mongooses (mongeese?). And Kiswahili is exciting and difficult, but trust me, you don't want to know all the details on a daily basis). As I go about my life I think of smart things to say, of funny comparisons to make, and in general look forward to blogging about everything I'm seeing and doing. Yet, at night, when I sit down to blog, I suffer from sudden-onset amnesia and my bed calls out to me in a particularly alluring manner. I tend to oblige it and go to sleep.

As a result, anyone actually reading my blog- I'm guessing my mom, dad, and maybe a few friends- knows almost nothing about what I am actually doing in Dar es Salaam (henceforth known as Dar). So, in order to get back on track and actually keep my few readers in the know, I, in the words of J. Martaan Troost (author of The Sex Lives of Cannibals, the book I am about to finish), from here on out I will be playing a little fast and loose with space-time continuum. I will do this for you, the reader. I will write when I can about what I can, and attempt to present it in a manner that is at least slightly comprehensible.

I had also planned on sharing a story now about our first Friday in Dar, when 19 of us went out to see the most second most popular musicians in Tanzania. But Val is waiting for me to finish up and getting impatient, so I will do it later. She disagrees. So nevermind. She isn't bothered. *wink wink* I still have to go though. I swear that I'll follow up soon though.

And val is not a naggy girlfriend. I've exaggerated for comedic purposes.
