oyceterHappy Chinese New Year everyone!
So far I have already eaten my body's weight in food, gone to a street fair, found some hard-to-find books in a bookstore, thanks to the wonders of UK imports, eaten several large feasts, and... eaten several large feasts.
Sadly, all the cool Chinese history books, particularly the ones on opium, in the bookstore were too expensive to buy, though![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rachelmanija and I had a lot of fun sitting and finding cracktastic passages from ancient Chinese and Indian tales, "The Three-Breasted Princess" and "The Story of the Nuns" being a few. "The Three-Breasted Princess" not only features the eponymous princess, but also her husband the blind man and her servant/lover the hunchback. Everything ends happily ever after when she attempts to poison her husband the blind man by cooking a black snake, only to have the poison miraculously melt the cataracts away from his eyes. The now-not-blind man catches his wife and the hunchback red handed, as it were, wrests the hunchback away and throws him at his wife. This miraculously and cracktastically cures them both, as the hunchback whacks against the princess' breast. The hunchback's hump is flattened and the princess' third breast in pushed inward, and presumably the three of them live in a happy menage a trois.
In conclusion, food.
