The A.D.D. Recap

Hello from Taiwan!

I have a fever. I have a very, very bad fever.

It’s the kind of fever where I want to do stuff but I can’t physically get myself to do stuff, and then I fall into a fitful sleep full of dreams of me Doing Stuff. And then I wake up and I’m like WHAT??????? I HAD NOT ACTUALLY BEEN DOING STUFF?!!!!!!!!!??????????????

It’s terrible, really. I wait until I’m halfway across the world in the land of CONVENIENT CHEAP FOOD before my body decides to break down on me. Something must be wrong with my Optimization levels, I oughta recalibrate. Or something.

Anyway, here are some pictures of nothing in particular-

So this is a tea-drink that I got from MEET FRESH. Those little things at the bottom are LITTLE TARO BALLS. That’s right. Little Taro Balls. WAPOW!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s the sound of your head exploding.

Uhm, this is my house in Taiwan. My dad wallpapered this room in canvas, and painted a bunch of heavy-metal band things on them. I love this room now, but when I was young it gave me effing nightmares. You see that on the ceiling? It’s KISS. Yep. Gene Simmons was my Freddy Kruger.

This is the view from my parents house. I live in a 1minute walking radius of 7eleven, McDonalds, KFC, Meet Fresh, and a 24/7 cart that sells GAI DAN ZAI (ji dan gao). … That egg-looking cake-thing. Ugh I’ll take a picture next time I eat them.

This is the medicine that I got sent home with. I am not looking forward to swallowing all these pills (have I ever mentioned how terrible I am at Pill Swallowing? My whole family used to have to hold me down and force pill-powder down my throat. That experience alone put “Traumatized” in the dictionary). Speaking of powder…….

Ta da! Within these four packets of happy-colored paper, lies the Devastation of Mankind. It’s the bitterest powder you will ever eat in your life. I got a tiny vial of sugar-water thats supposed to “make the medicine, go down, the medicine, go doowwwnnn, the medicine, go down” – but you know what?? Fuck that! There ain’t no way I’m eating that shit! In fact, In a few hours, I will post a picture of me happily flushing down powdered Devastation of Mankind, in the toilet, and I will look triumphant, and the doctor can SUCK IT.

I’ll post comics right after my delirium settles.

    omg those medicine powder folded in paper packets! I remember those! *shiver*…my mom would give me a banana..and told me to eat it together so that you won’t taste the bitterness…she lied! I ended up with a mouth full of bitter banana powdery mush..and it just stays there…until my mom finally gave in and let me spit it out

    @ Nite Owl – The prognosis was “sickness” !!!!!!!!!!!!! They told me some specific things, but I don’t even understand them in chinese -_-

    @ Tommy – I don’t even know what each pill does, he was nonspecific – and the bag they came in just says “eat after meals twice a day”. I have no idea what I’m even ingesting :-\

    @ Ollie – omg I feel for you. Just the thought of BANANA MUSH made me gag a bit – my mom used to swirl the powder in water in a soup spoon and force it down my throat. *Shuddrrrrrr

    @ lorets – thanks! I’m feeling better already, just a bit cough’y still :( Hope I’m better by plane time or I will freak out a ton of people.

    @ Ren – yeah… I’m down with the funkiness of the room, but not the
    pills.

    @ Alan – I LOVE MOS BURGER. I TOTALLY LOVE IT.
