Lost & Found

I hate losing things, and I have lost several things lately. First my credit card. I lost this during a rare drunken evening (I guess that’s why I don’t drink much these days!), but I guess that’s just a casualty of a fun night out. And it’s easily replaced so I guess it’s not too bad, just a slight inconvenience. Yeah, my credit card company ROCKS.

Apparently not all lost items are that easily replaced. Take for instance my birth control.

I bought a new pack last Sunday and started taking it that day. For some (stupid) reason, I didn’t put the pack in my medicine cabinet. Instead, I put it back in the box it came in. Then I left this box on the kitchen counter. Monday night rolls around and I go to take the next pill.

But where did it go?

Panda

I recently ate at Panda Express, and noticed that my cup was kinda strange:

panda

Is that supposed to be “I love chicken…YUM!!!” ? LOL

Leave it to Americanized fast-food Chinese to come up with something classy like this :)

Ongoing Observations

I have the craziest journey back home. It involves 3 flights, thus 2 layovers. Of course, one is 10 hours and the other is 7. I don’t know what I was thinking when I booked this, except maybe “who cares! I’m going to Spain!”

And now that I’m in the middle of a 30-some odd hour journey from Spain to the US, I’m bored. Solution: blog about the things I see lol

English

A couple of weeks ago J and I had a conversation about my skin tone. Although I am no more than 10% English, we decided that if I didn’t speak I could pass as a Brit. Random but ok cool.

For some reason I decided to share this info with Petra. Not 2 hours later I found myself in a souvenir shop in the janky bus station. The guy working there asked where I was from – England?

I smiled, thinking of these recent convos and said no. Ireland? No. Scotland? No. Though I was thinking tp myself this guy is doing a really good job of naming off 3 of the 5 countries that comprise my ethnic heritage lol.

He finally asked where I was from. I thought about saying Canada but realized Americans aren’t hated in Spain so I fessed up to my US passport. He was like “Oh America! (though he did look confused) Well then you must want …” and started pointing to some junk on the wall.

Tragedies

I’ve always heard that bad things happen in 3s. Like death.

I’ve been getting updates periodically while I’m abroad. And many of them suck. Either this rule of three thing is true or it’s just a really bad time to bee American celebrity.

Lost In Translation

I was just in France now it’s after midnight and I’ve arrived back in Spain. Maybe I’m exhausted from my 4 very long days in Paris, or maybe it´s late and I’m tired, or maybe I have just lost my mind?, but I can no longer speak.

In Paris I got so confused. I started answering questions in Spanish. (In my defense though Petra did slip in some Italian). Now that I’m back in Spain where I more or less speak the language, at least well enough to get by, I find myself mute. Our driver met us at the terminal and I wanted to greet him. How is this done? Bonjour? Hello? Merci? No that’s not right. Several seconds later…Oh! The word I’m looking for is HOLA lol. Then I thanked him in French. I just got too overwhelmed so I sat in the back, silent, while P slept.

Just when I was getting my Spanish back I seem to have regressed to my infancy and can see things I want to respond to, but lack the language to communicate my thoughts. Rad.

A Nutella and Pants Sandwich

Petra and I were all set to head to Paris, or so we thought. I booked our flights there and back, set up our hotel, and despite arriving I to the cuttiest of the 3 Parisian airports, I found us an amazingly priced shuttle service. 36 euro roundtrip per person. I figured it was cheaper because it dropped us at the Arc di Triumf rather than our hotel. In all my planning, I neglected to get us to and from the airport in Spain. I guess I assumed we would take the bus into Girona? Either way our flight was early and that wasn’t an option.

We were pretty frantic the day before so we went to the library to book a shuttle. How expensive could that be?

Spotted

I sat next to a man the other day who was reading a book called:

The colonization patterns of insects

That sounds like QUITE the page-turner LOL

And better yet, I wanted to post a link to this book, but I can’t seem to find it on amazon.com or any such sites. Maybe I’m checking sites that are too mainstream/not nerdy enough. Whatever, it’s a 50 word post. I’m not going to waste my time scavenging for a book I will never read :)

The Big Unit

The Big Unit, aka Randy Johnson.

I absolutely love this guy. He’s 6’10 and incredibly lanky – super awkward to say the least. Yet he’s 45 years old and just 2 wins away from 300 Major League wins. Now that is talent. It was really sad to see him taken out of the game tonight against the Marlins (his former team) and go on to earn the loss. Hopefully things get better for this guy. I am definitely all about seeing history be made!

If nothing else, he’ll always be my hero for defying the laws of nature and exploding a bird with a fastball. Seriously, what are the chances?
