Mas Cerveza, Por Favor!

A thoughtful chronicle of my study-abroad experience at the UDLA in Mexico...and by that I mean a collection of wild stories about crazy things I will do in Mexico and some other random, non-important things.

HEY its my anniversary!

I just realized that today marks my 1 year of blogging anniversary. How exciting!

French Dressing?

So I work with this french girl, right? And I used to say it looked like every day she just fell into her closet and whatever stuck to her infrequently bathed body was what she wore to work. Well I'd like to refine that judgement.

I think in elementary school, a teacher made the analogy that types of clothes are like the food groups, and to be complete you must not only eat all food groups but "wear" them too, making sure that each piece is a different color and none of them actually coordinate. So for her, its "healthy" to wear jeans, a skirt or dress, tanktop, tshirt, and hoodie all at the same time, in various layers. For example, today her "base layers" are jeans and a long sleeve turtle neck. This is topped by a sleeveless zip-up dress, and a scarf around her neck. Just part of this complete breakfast, right?

WRONG.

Whoops

Yeah, you'll never get an update about the things that have happened in the past 2 months, like my trip home to get my new computer, my change in life plans, my awesome spring breaks, and just life in general. Because I suck at life. Try to accept me and my flaws if you can.


Anyway. I thought I'd share a list of a few things I plan on investing in in the near future (aka when I have so much excess income that I can't figure out what to do with it).

1. Every volume of the "Now That's What I Call Music" series of CDs. I would like to preserve the hits of my youth for my ovums that I hope will become children at some point.

2. The entire 10-Season DVD Box Set (when it comes out) of 7th Heaven. 221 episodes of pure wholesome entertainment.

3. Mint-conditions pogs and/or New Kids On The Block trading cards. Back in the day I was a proud owner of both. Who knows where they are now. I'd like to cover a coffee table in them because that would be one sweet piece of living room furniture.

4. All of the outdated video gaming systems (Nintendo, Super NES, Sega) and the sweet games to go with them...anything where the controller still has only one side with an arrow pad thing and the other with 2/4 buttons. Powerpad and that arm sleeve thing included.


And while I'm at it, I'd just like to wonder out loud why NO ONE has yet put up the funds to start an all 90's network. Even better than a network would be a television empire. Think about it.....being able to watch the cartoons/music videos/Nickelodeon/game shows/sitcoms of those marvelous formative years of your life WHENEVER YOU WANTED (thanks to Tivo). I would never go out if Friday nights consisted of the Smurfs, Pop-Up Videos, The Weiner Show, Remote Control, and My Two Dads.
