Whew sorry for neglect!

Or am I just saving my words? Haha I think the way I talk now is very strange, and comes out in very poor grammar patterns. I guess my brain is switching to a Chinese way of talking? My inner voice is turning from English to Mandarin, interestingly enough! But wouldn't the title in Chinese be "dui bu qi wang le ni" - ? Maybe that's no good in Chinese either, but whateva! Maybe I'm a poet because it rhymes ya?

Well anyway, I have been busy! Trying to get SOMETHING done (like finish a bunch of prototypes) But I have only succeeded in getting a couple of prototypes done (built entirely in India from Indian materials!) All that's left really is to weld the faucet portion onto the body, and it's GOOD TO GO! (What I call 80% done, lol) There's still the matter of fixing it onto a storage container lid, but hopefully that'll just... come to me later haha~!

But that reminds me, I really should be documenting what I'm doing. I guess it eluded me because I was so involved in just getting the first two prototypes made completely in India. There were quite! a few things that had to be changed since coming here due to the lack of certain tools - working in another country is definitely something I have had to overcome. But I think in the end, this entire thing could be made with a lathe and a hacksaw... and a file.. and a mill.. and a welding torch.. well anyway! It could be easy to make someday in the future, and I really hope someday it can be made by just any old entrepreneur, and not by some mega corp trying to rip off the proletariat.

Okay! Just too a break to draw a little sketch of a crazy ice ram idea to make the hole without a mill... but it'd have to be CRAZY to work! But yeah please those of you who read my blog remind me to post pictures if none come soon... I'm finally starting the point in my project where I make a bunch at once! 8 to be exact! Yeah... I know I already have two done (the ones I brought with me from the states) but those seem ugly in comparison to these new ones! They're all stainless steel (no more copper faucet) and have all white handles and caps!

But in other news, I have been eating street food! And I think I'm finally getting a bearing of what to eat for breakfast and lunch. Dinner is still kind of peculiar, but I realized the trick to eating late is to eat an assload of streetfood beforehand! Haha so I have been getting this pakora sandwich (which Sandeep told me the kannada word for, but I have since forgot) and an ear of corn salted with a lime for two days now! They are delicious!

I'll take a picture of that later, too!

Well I better get back to work because I don't really use my computer that often. It ends up that I have a stack of emails that I have to look at. Very unsettling!

See ya!
