Boring Mexican food,
Garnished with intimate conversation and lack-lustre spirits in the wintery gloom.
The spot: Fiesta Mexican Resturant
The drink: Half Miles Creek 1999 Shiraz
The problem: A chinese chef and lousy latte
The easy solution: A cigarette and more wine
Toasted to: Change
Across the Indian Ocean,

Rate your present state of affairs, 1 to 10.
I've been undulating at +6.
For the longest time, I've been persisting at a steady drone.
I slipped easily to sleep last night.
An average person takes 7 minutes to fall asleep.
At 1.48, I awoke with a start.
I needed to rehydrate.
I tried all three positions: left, face-up, right.
And still the thoughts were running.
Still the mind was demanding answers.
Finally I compressed the thoughts and kept to one.
Those were the longest 7 minutes.
