Hey, what's that sound? Ice or ground? I think you better slow down. Goddamn, The Amazing Race is now in the ranks of shows I kinda like catching. Watching a bunch of Americans shout questions over and over at Cambodians, man, that's funny. Oh, and the drama. Not that I would be any better, I'm sure. When I see people in other countries speaking pretty fluent English at the drop of a hat I cringe. I can't speak Latin or Spanish after years spent learning both. Unless I'm holding court with the Pope the former won't ever matter, but it would be nice to at least have that Spanish. I've thought about teaching myself French or German, but I'm just slack. Maybe that's what I don't like, in areas like this Americans appear slack. Oh, our money, hey we got democracy, check it out we know what's best for the world, but asking for a bathroom outside of North America will most likely require our having a $5 book of phrases we'll improperly pronounce. Unless, god willing, we're around intelligent natives. They'll point us to a bathroom. And part of me wants them to snicker. It's cold here, icy. Roads look like pants and ride just as smoothly. Reminds me of Boone. Kind of like it. Took a 20 minute drive just for kicks earlier. I hear cars zoom down my road every once in a while, the sound lacks the weight of a SUV, sounds like sports cars. I imagine passing the tangled mess of an Acura or Miata on my way to work. That's right, work. Home office calling, we'll be open, even if no one else is, even if only two people can make it in, we'll be open. The news is displaying closings/cancellations at the bottom of the screen at 10 pt. font. This isn't bad when your monitor is in front of your face. When set across the room, this text spells H-E-A-D-A-C-H-E. I sure sound like a happy camper.
We're Fresh Out Of Batteries Christ, Cree. I was just funnin' about the difficulty of the songs. They're really good songs, I'm just retarded. You are smartening me up. Please don't stop. I need to be smarter. Sorry.
