A few quick thoughts about England I have yet to write about but, now that I have a 2500 word paper on the Suez Crisis due tomorrow, will now be recorded.
- My two favorite English rip-offs of American establishments: RFC (some sort of chicken place using the exact same font and colors as KFC) and Shooters (a red-white-and-blue Hooters knock-off).
- In America, most people say I look like Superbad and super awkward celebrity Michael Cera. Cool, I’ve always appreciated that. The English, though, take it up a notch and say I look like tennis player Andy Murray. And…they are right. Except for the whole “athletic” part.
- I finally went to an English flat this week. Very nice, slightly bigger than most American apartments I’ve been in. But still tiny enough where a bean bag chair stood out as the best seat in the house.
- The local paper here recently featured, as their headline story, an article about a bunch of puppies needing new homes. The story came packaged with a huge picture of said puppies sitting in a basket, looking adorable. This was the only picture on the front page of the paper. I believe in journalism again.
- The BBC seems to only show the equastrian events of the Olympics. OK, cool.
- Oh, my free burger coupon I’ve been keeping on my desk has vanished. Sigh, guess I’ll pay for that pesto burger afterall.
- Mars bars in England taste so much more delicious than the Milky Way bars back in America. Going to miss those.
- Is it wrong Wall-E has completely made me lose interest in every other movie out in theaters?
- It’s bad enough I have no idea how to use up my remaining pounds, but how the heck do I get rid of the Euros I have left from Italy?
