on the cutting edge of complete insanity.

I've been splurging a bit recently. I had 2 meals out last week, one in podrum and one in grill centar, both were amazing. grill centar is a very cheap, very nice place that is pretty popular with locals, so i don't need to feel guilty about that one. i keep trying to think about avoiding it, but when i think about it i can see the food on the plate, and holy diver is it good. really hot plates for some reason, but its so so so good. oh lord i want to go to grill centar now. its only 8KM for a plate of food and a drink. hmmm. i'll wait till the weekend. honestly.

my food problem today however, has been gloriously rectified. i just received a phonecall from majda asking me to go to the top of the steps as she had something to give me. confused as to what this might be, i wandered up (barefoot as usual, even though i regret it every time) and to my complete utter joy, it was a surprise kebab! woah! the best type of kebab is a surprise kebab. now i'm rushing this as to be able to go outside and munch away on it. i ordered my first telephone delivery burek the other day as well, which was quite monumental. the burek itself was monumental as well, and fed me for 2 whole days. andrew neve, burek would make you cry with joy, i assure you of that.

no real hostel news as of late, its been steadily chugging along. had 2 very nice american girls here, alison and marjorie, who were extremely quiet until alison was given the opportunity to put the hose away after i watered the flowers. needless to say the kansas hose monster was in full flight then. nice girls though, much missed. had 2 very nice australian girls with phillipino heritage the past couple of days, dianne and sarah, really nice. dianne in particular was super chatty, and her quest to find a fig made me chuckle immensely. it really was as thrilling as that sounds. australian guy called matt here at the moment as well, really cool, he's a teacher in melbourne who likes cricket, football and mike patton. pretty ace.

my bosnian is kinda coming along a little bit as well, although recently its been more useless things, like colour. time is very easy as well, which was nice. however, my new favourite term, taking over from boliglava, is without doubt 'guza meduza'. this term is used when talking about someone who is afraid of something because of their actions. it literally translates to 'ass like a jellyfish'. beautiful. not sure what tonights lesson will bring, but im sure it'll be entertaining. dobri stari salco.

right this is enough, its hot, its quiet, its kebab time.
