deep breath in...

I'm a little annoyed with Thailand today. None of it is even Thailand's fault, really.  I know that I posted the elephant post, but I started that yesterday and wanted to talk about the rest of the weekend, specifically Friday night's dirty ladyboy show. But first, I'm annoyed.

I got a lot of sleep last night after my long day of elephant fun, which was nice. I woke up, wanted to finished the elephant blog but the internet here is spotty at best. It kept quitting, not saving stuff, and then my computer did something weird and I lost most of the post because the stupid internet hadn't been working and the post hadn't auto-saved. I took a break and tried to get lunch, but everything is closed on Sundays here. I ended up eating at the guest house, which was fine. I tried to go to a pharmacy near here, but it was closed, so I ended up at a different one next to Tesco, one of the grocery stores. Apparently there's a Tesco Express not too far from here. I looked for something to put on my arm wounds, which they didn't have, but I did walk out with chocolate and batteries for my little speakers for my ipod.

I found another pharmacy and had to try to explain to the man who speaks very little English that I fell off of an elephant and got scraped by some sort of plant and now have these marks that are all puffy and burny and itchy. He gave me some sort of salve. Who knows what it is or if it will work. So far it looks the same but isn't itchy/burny anymore so that's good.

I had to do laundry, and needed change and detergent. The people at the laundromat laughed at me. 

I didn't feel like doing anything so I tried to watch tv on the internet but the connection is so slow that it took me almost three hours to watch a 42 minute program.

I went to the grocery store to buy wine and cheese for Melissa's birthday tonight, but they won't sell alcohol between the hours of 2 and 5. I found some goat cheese with no price and it ended up costing almost $16 usd. When I tried to return it I had to pantomime my request to the ladies at the customer service. My fruit lady wasn't out yet because shit is impossible on Sundays... Arg. I'm just annoyed.

I'm going to hold off on the ladyboy post.
