A friend of mine overheard another American student relate this story:

"My brother-in-law is coming to visit and he told me that his ultimate London fantasy is to go to a pub, arm wrestle with an English guy, and have the entire pub surrounding the table chanting 'USA! USA!'"

This is certainly a fantasy I would like to help fulfull.

Hi kids!
Check out how I haven't died or anything. I've just been under the radar. London is great but it's really time for me to come home. I want my dog, dammit...and obviously I haven't updated in awhile, basically because I just don't feel like it. The procrastination is kicking in. Lata.

Paying for internet is cheap. And I'm tired. And I have to pee.

Peace out, London.

Don't get me wrong, I'm very excited to be going to London (on the one hand...on the other hand) but I'm FUCKING TERRIFIED. After the experience I had this summer with the people at Philadelphia Center and the complete DISASTER that turned ( Read more... )

Does anybody else find it disturbing that Target has a back-to-school commercial that uses a new rendition of "Baby Got Back"?

I've had nothing going for just over a week now and I've already gained mad amounts of weight. I'm afraid to weigh myself and actually find out how bad the damage is. The problem stems from the fact that I have nothing to DO: I sit around all day and debate what I'm going to eat during the next commercial break. This is NOT GOOD. I've been here ( Read more... )

I ate about a half pound of chocolate yesterday all by myself. Just because it was there. The problem is that the half pound of chocolate will turn into 7 pounds by the time it reaches my ass. What cruel God worked out *those* laws of physics?

...damn technology (and you thought for a minute that this would be a post about how I found Jesus under the bed, didn't you? sorry to burst your born-again-Christian bubble). No, this is another bitching post, and I apologize. I've been trying for the past two days (and for the past 3 hours straight) to download Adobe Acrobat Reader on my new ( Read more... )

What is wrong with me that within two months of starting something I'm bored with it? Right now I'm sitting in the office BY MYSELF printing off a million sheets of indices and awaiting an appointment. I'm not doing anything besides waiting on the printer. There is nothing to be done. At all. I'm almost crying I'm that bored. And I can't leave ( Read more... )
