"Unfortunately, our Don Juan is moving with the speed of a Special Olympics hurdler." - Katyrn in Cruel Intentions

I am alive and well folks.  Im terribly sorry for the lack of posts.  I have been very busy...no wait, thats a lie.  I have NOT been busy.  Actually, I have been in a funk for the past few weeks and not really in the mood to commit my thoughts onto paper (or the computer).  B has been traveling up a storm lately.  He was in Moscow for a few days and last Friday, left for Boston for a conference.  He doesnt get back until the 27th.  I made a list of things for him to buy for me while he's back in the Good Ole USA...

Onion Soup Mix

Cans of Spaghetti-Os

American Magazines - GQ, Domino, Details, Town & Country...what the hell did you expect Sports Illustrated and Guns and Ammo?

Excedrin Migraine pills

and various DVD's of movies that I didnt get to watch while I was still living in the US and no chance in hell will I ever find it here...

Early presidential voting started yesterday for expats, so I will haul my ass to the consulate to get that down.  A lot of my classmates are very interested in the outcome of our elections and ask me if I have I voted, who I am voting for, etc.  They also ask me a lot of questions about our voting process.  Something, shamefully to say, I am not very familiar with.  I know we have Electoral Colleges but Im not sure how that works. (Denise can you pipe in?).  I believe we should just have a popular vote system or in case of a tie, a celebrity death match.  I can just picture Caribou Barbie (Palin) in a ring filled with Jello...

School has been ok.  It is our last week until I go to the next level.  We had an oral test yesterday wherein each of us is placed in a hot seat, the teacher gives us a topic and all the other students ask each of us questions pertaining to the topic.  My topic was food.  So classmates asked me Where I like to eat, what my favorite foods are, if I cook, what I hate to eat etc...well, one of my Arab classmates kept asking me this question and I didnt understand it so I kept asking him to repeat the question - because a) he stutters when hes excited, b) he used the wrong verb so the questions didnt make sense, and c) his pronunciation is HORRIBLE. And he was getting agitated that I didnt understand him... Finally someone told me the right verb and I was able to answer the question.  It flustered me.  Well folks you can guess what fucked up bitchy thing I did...when it was his turn to get questioned (his topic was free time/hobbies), I asked him:  Wer ist deine liebling schauspieler oder schauspielerin? (Who is your favorite actor or actress).  He looked at me blankly and started stuttering and didnt understand my question.  I looked at the teacher and asked her if my question was correct and she said it was...so he looked at me and asked what Liebling was and I had to answer him in German only and he forgot what schauspieler was so I had  a fun time making him squirm.  I am such a cunt...LOL...BTW, his other favorite pastime is reading political books. Im going to have to keep an eye out if he ever comes to class with a big trench coat and a backpack...

I have not been keeping up with the entertainment news in the US lately but I recently heard about Madonna getting divorced...LOL...she said its the most painful thing she has ever been through...Yeah lady, more painful than Shanghai Surprise?  Im still trying to figure out how to get a refund for that movie and that is over 20 years ago...
