it's only 2 weeks into the new year and i've already violated my new year's resolutions. i'm barely posting a story a week and i've gone near blind defiling myself. i blame it on boredom and easy access to inexpensive single rooms.

i'm currently holed up in Sulawesi, Indonesia, nursing what i've amateurly diagnosed as bronchitis or bird flu. i've eaten almost nothing for a week. it sounds terrible but rest assured, i'm happy. this is the quickest way for me to reach my ideal weight of 110 lbs for my 4ft 3in. frame.

enough with the sob-stories. here's quickie pictorial post on a recent expedition to the island of Komodo.

rinca (pronounced 'reencha' as in 'pincha' madre) island, better than komodo for wildlife
