Living in a hut, sitting on an armadillo, eating a whale and watching fish fly west

"Go live in a hut!" Not very long ago these priceless words of wisdom were uttered by my rather exasperated friend (who, as you might have duly observed, is incapable of a respectable comeback)... Suddenly these words seem to make a lot more sense. More sense than Joseph Heller at any rate... Maybe it's time I took a much needed vacation from my holiday. I'm restless with anticipation... Why does school have to begin only in September! The wait is killing me.
I guess most people would welcome the idea of a 5 month long vacation but, trust me, after five weeks you will be itching to do something productive. I've been reduced to coming up with ridiculous comebacks for the aforementioned friend involving edgy armadillos, edible whales and airborne fish... I need one last cathartic and reckless outburst to put everything back to perspective. But in lieu of the exciting summer I had envisioned, I'm experiencing an interminable period of tedium that stretches out for a few more months...
I cannot even read as voraciously as before. My interest is waning and I seem to have very little patience for Mr.Nikos Kazantzakis too... Well, the prospect of a vacation is turning out to be more promising by the day. If I''m lucky I'll be out of this city(or country) by next Friday...*prays to the visa gods* ... Right.. that's about as much I can type about my uneventful vacation at 11:55 in the night whilst under the influence of sleep inducing medication. Yes, I'm on medication. No, I don't have mental problems(how much ever this blog may indicate to the contrary). I'm still recuperating from a nasty bout of stomach flu. It isn't life threatening so don't get your hopes up.
*Yawn* Must sleep... I think I can see the bloody armadillos doing the cancan in front of me. Stupid pills. Stupid hallucinations. Stupid dasypodidae. Maybe next time I'll be able to write a sensible piece for once. Although I rather like the title... sounds like the plot for my next short story...hmm....
