mabvuto= problems (and an amazingly popular name for boys)

at the office. its raining sheets outside- hard enough that the internet networks are out..not that they're 100% functional on the sunniest of days, but the rain is a sure-fire network killer. so, since i can't do my work, its prime time for post-writing. 


so theres good news and bad news..


the good: this afternoon i am going to attend an African dance class. as it is commonly known, i desperately need to improve my dancing skills. hopefully, today will be the first day of the rest of my life as a not-quite-so-horrific dancer. also seriously hoping that i will finally learn how to do the highly coveted African ass shake... African women somehow evolved to possess the most bodacious behinds on the planet. and even more incredibly, when they dance these delectable derrieres take on lives of their own. actually. they can make their butts bounce around without moving a single other muscle. its completely baffling. ive spent ages in front of the mirror and cant even get close. seriously hoping this dance class will shed some light on the situation


the bad: backyard mango season is over. the trees are bare. i can still buy them in blantyre market for something between 10 and 25 kwacha. 


other bad: the kwacha is still officially pegged at 165MK/$. its so ludicrously overvalued, and forex is so scarce that banks are trading dollars with each other at the black market rate of 300MK/$. meanwhile, i dont have a local bank account, so i'm still helplessly debiting dollars from my US account at the official rate. stupid bingu
