skazi!

jujubee got so drunk on cachaca one night that a nurse friend injected a hydration solvent into her arm. i think it was some kind of sugar. she was pale and her eyes were red and watery. the girl is so crazy that when she felt better, about 20 minutes later, she said "i~m good to go!!!" and started drinking again!!! she was on a mission. there is a myth here, just like the lockness monster, that the lagoon here is so deep, there lives a monster called "cocomura". when someone gets really drunk and vomits, we say they saw cocomura. jujubee saw cocomura that night.

i took a new path to the beach one evening. i walked down the mountain past an empty house, through someone~s old wooden gate, past a grassy clearing and into a forest of bamboo trees. after the slippery shady forested slope, holding onto bamboo shutes and vines that reach 4 stories, we got to a small dirt path next to the lagoon, where a cow moos, and walked up and onto the main road. it was a nice tangent.

i made a new friend, marianna from argentina. now there~s julianna, lucianna, marianna, roberto (token gay), and ivo. just to keep you updated. marianna encourages me to do more traveling in south america because it~s safe as a woman traveling alone. she says bolivia, chile and peru are even cheaper than brazil.

i have been introduced to the wonderful world of SKAZI!!!!! an israeli band, probably the best house music ever!!! i have a huge star crush on the lead dj (with the long hair---he~s nuts!) he~s going to be here in brazil at the largest festival in south america. he will be dj-ing for over 15,000 people. the ticket is about $125 though and i don~t know if i can justify spending it when there is traveling to be done. regardless, here you go, for pure energy!!!

there are tons of other songs on youtube. and just for mom and dad, don~t worry they~re not satanic. they~re anarchists.
