Small victories can be so satisfying sometimes.

Public talk at Medrar in Cairo tomorrow.

Hopefully dentist doesn't fuck me up today. But whatever he does it'll surely be better than the don't-put-anything-in-mouth stage of gum-pain I'm currently in.

I'm starting to believe that the vast majority of Cairo dust is really the result of construction debris. There's so much across the city and it never ends. Will no longer look down on drywall. Perhaps there are some benefits to using it after all. #journal #studio #cairo]]>

Debris cleanup was a full 3-day process after electrician tore into walls. I'm starting to believe that the vast majority of Cairo dust is really the result of construction debris. There's so much across the city and it never ends.

Will no longer look down on drywall. Perhaps there are some benefits to using it after all.

Already got the tiles to cover them up, but don't want to do that before I'm through with the electric work which will involve tearing into the walls. No drywall around these parts, it's all brick and concrete, so it's bound to result in a big mess. Four days' worth of a big mess to be precise. Electrician was scheduled for this morning, but he never showed up and wouldn't even answer his phone. Dude just threw away a big payday for some reason. By the time he called back, I'd already given the job to someone else, who comes through end of the week. That's many more days than I would've liked to be living with these trenches in the house. Cairo's the kind of place that tests your limits in more ways than one. #journal #studio #cairo ]]> Two long trenches cut through my place now, the result of a plumbing job.

If you're even mildly OCD—and I probably fall a little higher up on the spectrum—Cairo is not an easy place to be.

But damn does the place have its charm. It's buried under multiple layers of tired dust and obscene filth, but it's undeniably there.
