Serious consideration

Have you ever noticed that the great thing about talking (in my case whining) about men/relationships/lack thereof is that - together with alcohol - it is the strongest common ground you have with people (you  think) you have nothing in common with? You can go to the Bolivian Chaco and talk about you clumsy seduction attempts gone terribly wrong, and people suddenly see you're really not that different from them at all. 

And since things have potential to suck as bad anywhere.. I'd rather be in London!

The Recipie

Pour in a large pot on high fire:

- 7 spoonfuls of sarcasm (to find the falls off the face of the Earth entertaining and strikingly original);

- a bright green blend of all the internet blessings available to man. Mix video Skype conforting, gchat whining, email screaming, Picasa reminiscing and Facebook self-glorifying;

- 1.3 kg of travel to unlikely places (far enough to see things in prospective, to hear only what matters and to smell nothing at all; unlikely enough that you're spared the 'coolness factor' ie "you went to Paraguay, awesome!");

- 1 cup on London (the full package), including places people and things;

If you are so inclined, sprinkle the top with self-deprecating irony for added flavour.

Stir quickly, drink slowly, savour for a long long time. If you think you're forgetting the flavour repeat the operation.

PS. In case of Love At First Sight or other similar delusions, there is no need to go through the above described lengthy process. Violently hitting your head against a hard surface, such as a wall or table (mixed with a small taste of this blog, which as it heppens, contains all of the 5 magic ingredients above) should suffice.
