murphy's lecky law

(october 24, 2007)

tonight i wanted to make a cheezey bean jacket potato but we had no electricity (i also wanted a hot shower after my run this afternoon but that has been temporarily postponed), so i resigned myself to pasta as we have a gas stove. but then, as if god himself was listening to my pleas for the beans and the cheese on the baked potato, the electricity came back on and i cleaned and popped two potatoes into the oven and busied myself while they baked away. midway into the cooking time, the electricity went out so i was stuck frying them until fully cooked by candle light only to finish just in time for the lights to come back on so i could enjoy my meal in the full light of the irony that is kenya.

"...in full light of the irony that is Kenya." Incredible. You must be terribly dedicated to be so far away from the comforts of home.

it is not so bad, i quite like it here contrary to my complaints at times. just a little frustrating now and again!

and to be able to bust a move down to tanzania or to the indian ocean on a weekend more than makes up for all the hiccups along the way.
