I'm off to see the wizard

Well today was one of those days that made you rethink which side of the bed to get out of the next day. When I got up this morning I decided the first order of business was to ship home a few things including my bottle of Snake Whiskey. But incase it got lost or busted on the way home I wanted to get some pictures of it. I set it up on my night table and turned around to get my camera and all of the sudden I hear a crash and feel a sea of whiskey forming under my feet. I quickly threw all of my belongings up onto my bed before they all were soaked in whiskey and then started cleaning us the pieces of glass every where. I didn't mind cleaning it up but I didn't know what I was going to do with the two snakes laying there on the floor. Now I must admit even though I have kept a few different types of lizards over the past few years I still have never had the opportunity to touch a snake. I never thought that my first one would be a cobra but luckily it was dead and covered in Whiskey. I didn't really have any paper towels to clean up all the whiskey and I wasn't going to use my only towel so I looked around the room for something to use. Luckily I still had the news paper from the bus ride here so I used that to soak up as much of the whiskey as possible and then just left the rest to dry up. The good thing to come out of this is it saved me a lot of money to ship it home and probably a massive hang over when I ended up drinking it. But the best part is that I could get some really good pics of the snakes b/c when I was taking them through the bottle they came out really poorly. Well after that I still had some other things to ship so i set off for the post office. I managed to walk right by it b/c I thought it was on the otherside of the street so I ended up walking up a few extra blocks and then back down. When i got there I took a number and packed up a few books and some other things I didn't want to carry with me anymore and sent them home. They will probably arrive home the same time I do. After that I went back to the park b/c it was such a nice day out and sat in the sun and read all afternoon. Then I went for dinner and ran into my friend Jens from the cooking class and made plans to met him later to go to the night market. Now I'm here responding to some emails and posting up pictures from yesterday. Some of them are so cool I can't stop looking at them but I have to go met Jens now so good bye for now. Oh yeah and to add on to the good times, i locked my key in my room last night!
