dar es salaam snapshot: stuck in traffic and you know it's bad when a guy slowly cycles southbound between two lanes of northbound traffic, selling ice cream.

heading to london for a couple of days and then to "home". Finally will move into my new apartment and then hopefully i can stop feeling so damn disconnected from my entire life. Over breakfast I read more Patti and she was writing about joy. I thought, "oh, that". Sounded like she was having trouble finding it too, which did make me feel better. The best part of today was talking to my parents, who I hadn't managed to speak to in a while. Miss them. Not quite joy, but definitely love, and that's something.
