Some observations
*On Christmas Eve I learned that my Grandma Lois is a fan of the punk band Good Charlotte. Rock on, Grandma!
*Dude, there are some fatties in America. I don't mean, ahem, curvier folk like myself. I mean Large Marge muu-muus are a necessity not an option, haven't seen their feet in years people. Egads.
*Until my friend Angi reminded me, I had forgotten about a great game-Hey Cow! Here's how you play: when you drive past some cows, you roll down your car windows and yell "HEY COW!" at them. If they look, you get points. Awesome.
*One of the best parts of being back in the States? The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, actually daily, not just the weekend global edition. I heart Jon Stewart.
*Some people here still don't know where we live...and even if they did, they couldn't locate it on a map. Or, even worse, if they do know they think we live in mud huts and are living in fear of "them Mooslems." *sigh*
*There are a lot of crappy commercials for insurance for the elderly, ambulance chasing lawyers and weight-loss gimmicks on American television. It's kind of annoying.
*Today we saw an episode of Globe Trekker that had a parental notice warning of "indigenous nudity." Is it just me or would Indigenous Nudity be a great name for a band?
*This afternoon we heard a radio commercial for a New Year's Eve party that was "faux-XXX themed." I don't get it. How is something faux-XXX themed? You get herpes and waste a stack of $1 bills but you don't get to see any boobies? I'm baffled.
*I'm slightly disappointed. I was misinformed by someone and told that there was a restaurant in Lincoln called Hoo-Ha's. Travis and I found this extremely amusing, as hoo-ha is a funny albeit slangy euphemism for...um, something a civilized person wouldn't name a restaurant after. We went in search of said restaurant today, hoping for a photo or, at best, a t-shirt for Kale. Alas, it did not exist. In actuality, the establishment is a Mongolian eatery called Hu-Hot's...wWhich, I guess, is still kind of funny but not really.
*I ain't no hollaback girl. (Whatever the hell that means.)
*I'm turning into a teacher nerd. I took my first-ever trip to a teacher supply store today and walked out $100 poorer...but armed to the teeth with educational fun! I'm-a get my learn on, yo.
*Today it was so nice outside, and because it was so unseasonably warm (if 50 F can be considered warm) it smelled like autumn. This excited me so much I hopped up and down like a little kid, clapping my hands and stomping in leaves. I probably looked insane, but it's OK. Yay for outside! It made me deliriously happy. Now, if I can just get a chance to stand outside in the falling snow, catching snowflakes on my tongue I'll have my favorite-weather fix until next year.
