not dune

well, after a very productive weekend in the country crammed with useful household tasks: sewing. stocking up on gas. wood. creating (my own very personal) order among the DVDs...
well something had to give....
the inner pod exploded and kick-started the year in style, with a post-holiday season disaster. this involved. driving mina into a ditch. being heaved up by 6 sturdy men. stopping at the first gas station. assessing damage. realizing i was stranded. getting a ride with giant lorry whose joint-rolling driver was as kind-hearted as he was tragic (he regaled me with stories about his gambling habit). witnessing a fatal car crash. getting taxi to come out at some random exit near airport. arriving home at 2am only to realize that i probably left my wallet in mina.
