The Beautician and the Beast

Alright so as it turns out, it´s pretty important to get this one specific anti-rabies shot, the immune globulane (or something), or, as I will refer to it from now on, the Goods. It´s unavailable in South America.

So due to the certain death that would occur if I were to actually get rabies, I am hopping a flying machine tonight and going home to get the Goods. It is completely crazy and stressful, but I think it´ll be nice to be home for a good six days. And maybe they´ll have some sweet movies on the plane. Also I´ve been itching to hear John Frusciante´s new album that came out on Jan. 20th (thats what all that celebration was about, right?), so I´ll definitely scoop that up.

While you might be underwhelmed that the answer to my blog title will be ¨Easton, Connecticut¨ for the next six days, I can assure you that I will be back beneath the equator just as soon as I get these damn Goods. And I really didnt like the idea of taking this break, but, as my mom so eloquently put it: It is a medical emergency. This has been as close to a life or death situation I have ever gotten, but also I probably just dont have Rabies and am exaggerating.

Last night was trivia night at this one cafe, and one of the questions was ¨What movie climaxes with a jumbo jet landing on the main strip of Las Vegas?¨ I am well versed in Nicholas Cage movies, and I comforted my team (comprised soley of girls) with the kind words ¨I got this.¨
