ew, wombats! I love them! Australia sure did hit the cute animal jackpot! I'm also a big fan of the platypus and echidna!
I didn't realize until I left LA, where I was born and raised, that Mexican food was not the same all over the states. The Mexican food in the Seattle area is PATHETIC in comparison to LA!!!
I haven't actually tried it in NY, I'll have to try someplace next time I'm there to see the regional differences. Any suggestions?
mmmmm....chile rellenos!!!!
But no, we had no Chicago food at all.
Unless the airport counts.
And that was quite a storm.
We could see the whole thing coming in while sitting in the terminal.
Lots of windows.
The place was packed and everyone was oohing and aahing.
Then our flights all got cancelled.
Arabic?! That's awesome!!! Don't let it slip away, you need to find someone to practice with!! Or rent some movies that are in Arabic once in awhile. I know how to order a beer in arabic, but that's it!
oh, no, I can say "hurry up" too!
How did you come to be fluent in Arabic?
Yes, now I want to see "Frida" again to see if they used her house for filming. I guess I could check that out on IMDB. You know, in looking at her clothes (they had them on dummies), it seems she was a lot taller than I imagined. You know how when you see some rock star or some starlette's clothing how they always look SO tiny, well her clothing looked all normal sized, which was nice!
wow! that is just so cool!!! I'm a bit in awe of you right now! You really should work to hang on to it! Remebering *is* the hard part, especially the older you get.
Do you ever have a yen for Lebanese food?
I know, and excuse my spelling, I'm totally guessing.....beera kamen med fudlug, or something like that! And yes, yalla yalla!
I can actually say "hurry up" in 10 languages, including Dutch
And this weekend I learned how to say "get out of my way" and "quit it" in espanol.
I really should try to learn more useful phrases.
oh man, the next time I'm in NY will be when SurlyMike and I pass through on Thanksgiving day, but I WILL be there again, and I will totally take you up on the Lebanese food offer! Being vegetarian I really appreciate loads of vegetables, and I love hummus, AND I love a homecooked meal!
I think I know how to say "slut" in Swedish, and that's it!
I think I'm lucky to have you as an SG friend too! You offer to cook Lebanese food for me, you speak Arabic, and you're fucking hilarious! No, nobody's Swedish girlfriend yelled at me, but that's the story I'll tell from now on!
Please, please, don't make Afterbirth jealous that he brought me onto the scene only to steal his thunder. I can almost picture him now, muttering in his sleep and thrashing about because he can sense I'm upstaging him. "Gotta...be...funnier!"
Gotta love parents for keeping the "good" stuff from childhood. I had a huge thing for John Cugar Melloncamp. I thought Tom and Diane was about me and him. No my name is not Diane. You should take a picture of the placemat. I llike that you drew a pool!
Thank you!
it would be a happier one had i taken the day off from work
but i'm going to remain cheerful knowing that people think i share the same birthday as my father
Satan!
