Urban Thongs Beach Party

This is me asleep on the beach, holding a purse. That’s Ryan’s crotch. Taken by Subha


I always thought a Sri Lankan gossip blog would be in order, like Gawker. In its own vitriolic way that’s where the fart factory seems to be going. He seems to be becoming a gossip columnist, albeit one that hates his subjects. Of course, bloggers are in no way celebre, though he’s treating them that way. The fact that someone would give a shit where we go on Saturday is actually kinda sweet. And I can even supply my own paparazzi shots if Sebastian isn’t around. Problem is that I fell asleep and someone deleted my Mona Lisa boob photos and replaced them with pictures of me splayed out like a crab under Ryan’s crotch. Very Abu Ghraib Electra, thank you. I didn’t even remember that I had boob photos until their owner called me the next day. Now all I have is embarassing photos of myself and semi-nude men.

Before I leave home Amma and Tha are like, ‘are you going to bring all your clothes back?’ I tell them I’m wearing flip flops, and both the pants and shirt can be written off. Pick up Noodles and a bottle of arrack to smuggle in via somebody’s purse and meander towards Mount Lavinia. The event is ostensibly to launch a new line of flip-flops, called Urban Thongs. Thongs makes me think of G-Strings, but besides that they’re nice footwear.

The entry ticket was one pair though I, of course, lost mine by the end of the night. They’re kinda nice, though I cannot for the life of me figure out where they’re sold. Anyways, we find a table by the ocean and camp out there. This time I don’t have anyone to go anywhere with so I don’t leave the herd. One would think this is safe, but with friends like these …

Whenever I drink I eventually get sleepy. I really like sleeping, it’s my favorite activity after watching TV. If I’m somewhere sleepable like on a couch or bed I will take a nap in front of one person or a thousand. After about four arrack and cokes the beach mattress looked mighty inviting and I took a doze. Rather than put a pillow under my head or something, Ryan decides to put his crotch in my face, and Electra takes pictures. The one above is my glamour shot, the others are much worse. I apparently sleep with my eyes half open, which is a little creepy. I wake up without my camera and, apparently, my dignity. There are a few more photos on Flickr. They’re helping me piece the night together. Props to Urban Thongs on their launch and best of luck in business.

yeah indi, we’re all horrible friends and perverted by nature. what’s to do? it was mostly ryan. i was just playing devil’s advocate.

the photos are hilarious though, ‘cept it was dark dark dark and i couldn’t really see anything till i had finished taking it. so, those photos aren’t exactly proof of my photgraphical genius.

dude, we fuckin’ rock and you LO-O-VE us. didn’t mean to delete your boob shots, really. i wouldn’t have and you know it.

Getting A Chinese Visa In Sri Lanka (Or Trying)

I want to visit my friend in China before he comes back. Free place to crash and all. So, I applied for a visa to China, from Colombo. I’m not sure I’ll get it, but this is process to at least apply. For official but incomplete info, check out the Chinese Embassy website.

Sarath Fonseka And The Mahavamsa

The Mahavamsa (a history of Sri Lanka) is full of conflicts between generals and kings. Usually, the more bloodthirsty and unscrupulous would win. Our current (elected) ruler Mahinda Rajapaksa has had his own general conflicts, namely with one Sarath Fonseka. In the old days Fonseka would have staged a coup, as in literally try to cut of Mahinda’s head, and Mahinda would – if that failed – tie him to four elephants and split his parts asunder. Can’t do that shit anymore. Instead Fonseka ran for office and lost and Mahinda tossed him in jail.

Why Does India Suck At The Olympics?

Today on the morning show we talked about the Olympics, namely China’s emerging dominance. For me the bigger question is India. Why does India suck so much? In 2008 the US won 110 medals, China won 100 and India won… 3. India has over a billion people, some economic clout and is by all counts an emerging superpower, but they suck at the Olympics. Why?

New New Kottu

Janith has updated Kottu with rims and shit. Seriously, it looks pretty good. You could say the desktop look is cosmetic, but check out the mobile. Kottu now looks like an app with settings and menus and such. The biggest problem with K2 is me, ie, it now takes me up to a month to respond to emails. OMG I’m scared of my email. But Janith’s done this code and design update all by himself and it looks pretty good. Check it out. There was one bug with the previous page link. Lettuce know if there’s any more.
