LS: I was about 7 seconds away from having a meltdown about my internet not working all morning just now, but this conversation really reminded me to lighten up.
ASM: Seriously, get real. I lack internet, a fridge, stove and running water in my bathroom.
ASM: I drag buckets of water to shower. I hope you can picture this because you may know that I am not the strongest individual.
LS: But I have to check twitter on my phone like some kind of barbarian!
LS: Yes, mental image emphasis on the drag.
LS: Well, I’m walking to the gym and my fingers are so cold its barely registering on the keypad of my iphone. Northern continent problems.
ASM: The moon is so full tonight that I can’t see the southern cross. Southern continent problems.
LS: Ok, you win.
ASM: But I lose on the drag.
LS: Well, to keep things in perspective I’m going to a small room with heavy things to drag around purposelessly because my life is otherwise devoid of exercise.
LS: So, shower+gym all in one in Tanzania.
ASM: Hahaha. It’s basically all the same.
