my heat rashes had been complemented by flaring red allergic reaction to peanut butter (or it could be bread, i'm not sure). now i have a matching set of inflammations triggered by the holi warpaint too. i am waiting to see if the drug allergy will come forth as well. not mood altering substances, but medicines - that kind of drugs. it keeps me on tenterhooks with a tantalising display of pre-symptoms and then disappears bashfully when i sit up and take notice.
but talking of mood-altering substances, i wonder if the toad would qualify as one. till date, all it takes is the subject of person toad, let alone a mail or call or his actual presence, to cause my mood to do a nose-dive.
but completely unrelated to all this, i want a beanbag and some good chocolates and that tom holt. and i really want didi to switch off the tv. if only i (and everyone else in my family and extended family on both sides) were not so scared of her, i'd watch vh1 instead of bengali megaserials. actually, that was a bit of inverted snobbery - i'd probably watch tom and jerry. i'm not too sharp that way.
