my last weekend in america- On Friday night, I went to see my boyfriend's band play at a bar in Vancouver. dryad271 was there with her husband and we chatted about their experience at Lebowski Fest. For the character costume contest, she dressed up as an 8-year-old. They said somebody else dressed up as a Chinese man carrying two legs. ("A chinaman took them from me.")
- Yesterday I went to REI with Jazz where I bought this bag:
I think it will come in handy for my shorter jaunts around Europe during my travel break. My favorite part is the hideaway backpack straps.
- I also bought some Charmin To-Go (because you'll never know when you'll need soft, American toilet paper) and a travel clothesline.
- I found a cute tote bag at Salvation Army for $3. It's bright yellow with a single rainbow stripe down the middle.
- Last night we drank and played trivia. The questions were either way too easy or way too obscure-- not much in the middle. One of the questions in Cranium was, "Which eight-sided shape is popular on American roadways?" Everyone yelled, "Stop sign!" The answer was, "Octagon."
- I've been playing a lot of Scrabulous on Facebook. I won my first game with a score of 319 to 315.
And in the news...
Scientific American asks, "Can fat be fit?" Their answer: "Of course not, you fat idiot!"
