Things To Do That Are Not My Research

Filed under: ntmd — ana @ 3:56 am

This is bizarre, but I’m totally sick and tired of being in Brazil and doing this ‘research project’. This probably has something to do with the bedbugs/’very small mosquitos’ and the oppressive heat and humidity and the fact that I hung around the office for five hours today doing nothing but play peek-a-boo with a four year old and smiling idiotically at people and feeling that this was a reflection of my worth.

Things I am contemplating doing instead:

1. Asking for Silvio Santo’s hand in marriage.

2. Strangling the Mais Voce parrot.

3. Breeding wire-haired fox terriers called Julian, Dick, George, Anne and Timmy.

4. Attempting to wean myself off Kaut, with all natural guarana straight from the Amazon to you via Coca-Cola.

Any other ideas?

  2. i intend to fight you for the hand of silvio santos. you should also consider leaving images of teddy and his wire haired fox terrier pals on the desktops of brazil - as with the julian burnside-adorned desktops of flinders uni library.
