The continuing adventures of whitey

Been meaning to post these ramblings for a while but Im never sure if my thoughts on whitey will settle. I've had actual encounters now, rather than refusing to acknowledge people on the street. Last Friday we went to the bbsc quiz, which as I had guessed were full of middle-aged white men plus wives. I liked the table I was put on, decent people just looking for a laugh between the 12 highly important meetings/lectures they have to give tomorrow. A couple of hitches in the evening, when the talk moved on to day to day life... the jokes were just 'arnt the names quite odd','don't they speak awfully fast'...just a little too patronising.
Places to find whitey: Just about anywhere, they suprise me sometimes...typical places are spencer plaza (metro centre crammed into 1/4 the area), mahabalapurham (the beach/stone carvings place where EVERYONE asked me if I liked the karma sutra then shoved tacky plastic carvings of various positions into my face)
There is a definite interest in skin colour though, a pretty victorian attitude. I've seen women walking down the street with umbrellas for the sun. Theres been this. National adverts tend to have extremely pale women on, eventually they turn up in some gold threaded sari and then they look indian. Near certain avoidance of the everyday man on the street, though south india seem very sunny, further research needed.
Cooking for myself is cool, I try not to hang around the spice shelves to long or the supermarket girls start giggling. Its tough when you have no clue what half of them are known as outside of india, the 1000 types of dhal for a start. I've mastered the masala omlette though and a few quick paneer dishes (paneer is the majority of my diet)
In other news it wont stop raining. Everytime matthew writes to someone and says it has stopped it starts again while Im walking home..he will pay. Still refuse to own a coat or umbrella, it has to stop sometime. TV continues to enrage me, though pat robertson has become my personal saviour. I defy you to watch his report on 'Intellegent design' and not be convinced. The evil 'SCIENCE' is brutally supressing people who just want to point out that darwin was wrong and evolution is a crime. This is also clearly persecution of christianity, a minorty group. Watch the 700 club its on some christian broadcasting channel in the uk. Theres enough on there to make you giggle every day.
Is that enough consciousness streamed into your thought space? I thought so, for now at least. Catch you soon! Keep safe. Have you lost weight?
