- It's been a rather long time since I warned you all of Monkey Doom
- I am almost over my raging jetlag
- I have a take-home test that is due tomorrow at 9am... and I have yet to begin
Second, I would like to give one last declaration of undying love and affection to singer of my heartsong, Sonya Rae. Thanks to her, I had one of my best vacations and I continue to be sad that neither of us is into the ladies, because I think we'd be a power couple that would rival Ellen and Portia.
Just saying.
Anyway, here are a few thoughts I've had over the past week:
- Eating Chinese food after 10pm doesn't count
- I wish people here would quit trying to convince me to be outdoorsy.
- I have tried discussing the NCAA bracket with a handful of guys I know here in NC and none of them care. WHERE HAVE ALL THE MEN GONE???
- Most of my celebrity crushes are age-inappropriate. For example, Matt Lauer, John Cusack, Jon Stewart, Daniel Craig and Anthony Edwards.
- Boondock Saints 2 sucked giant squid wontons.
- My brother is much cooler than I am. Actually, I've always known this, but he just left to go on tour and I feel there are few things cooler than that.
- I hate the Toaster Streudel commercial where that snotty girl talks down to her friend with the Pop-Tart. Don't get me wrong. I love Toaster Streudels, but have you ever heard any child complain because she got a Pop-Tart? Hell no!
- I lived in Indiana for 15 years, attended Indiana University and love Gene Hackman, but have yet to see the movie Hoosiers. And I'm okay with that.
- Eating half a bag of marshmallows and a butt-load of tater tots in one sitting does little for one's digestive system.
- I hope all of Canada recognizes my profession by the time I graduate so I can move to Vancouver, eat maple syrup and be really polite.
Maybe.

Thanks for the eating tips! I'll try to stay awake till 10 so I can gorge myself.
I think I'll wait until after 10 so I can have some Chinese food.
You've never watched Hoosiers? Meh. Neither have I.
I JUST watched the Princess Bride last night for the first time. People were about to kill me if I didn't.
And your brother? That IS cool.
In keeping with my Fort Wayne high school's tradition of watching movies about things we were supposed to be learning instead of learning them, we watched "Hoosiers" in my 10th grade health class. It was only ONE of the movies we watched that semester.
And what is WITH people wanting people like you and me to be outdoorsy? I mean, I like a good (mild) hike in the woods like anyone raised in a very flat state, but I don't want to sleep out there!
Your brother is going on tour? That is amazing. Good luck with your take home test.
P.S. We can hang out and not be outdoorsy together. :]
I'm assuming your brother plays in a band? Cool! Which band?
And I -so- am with you on the Pop Tart thing. Screw Strudel Snobs. I love me some Pop Tarts.
Welcome back and I'm thrilled you two made it out of the monkey hell in one piece. I don't like the little poop flingers myself.

Guess who else hasn't seen Hoosiers.
I refuse to discuss the NCAA brackets. They are dead to me. Damn you Kansas and Villanova and New Mexico and Cornell (oh yeah how many of you had an Ivy going to the Sweet Sixteen... actually someone in our pool did... bitch).
Hoosiers is good... you should rent it sometime before the state finals. North Central (what will be my kids' HS) is matching up against my HS's main rival, Warsaw.
So, is a butt-load similar to an ass-ton? Just checking.
Man, I love tater tots. Must have Sonic today.
Excellent point about Pop Tarts and Toaster Struedels. Sadly, my daughters shun Pop Tarts. *sigh* Oh well, more for me!
Most of my crushes are also age-inappropriate, but in the other direction.
Anthony Edwards is a babe though.
I'll take a Pop Tart or a Toaster Strudel anyday.
i'm actually not big on either pop tarts or toaster strudel, but my brother thinks toaster strudels are awesome.
You should probably be warned that ever since UNC started sucking...uh...giant squid wontons, very few in N. Carolina actually care about NCAA basketball. Give them a few more years. I, however...being an alum and HUGE fan of UK, will discuss NCAA games, brackets, and how to appropriately pronounce "Gonzaga" as much as you would like.
Also? My age-inappropriate crush is Jack Nicholson. I'm pretty sure that's illegal in at least 4 states and 2 territories. But at least I haven't hopped on the Robert Pattison train. I prefer my boys to be old(er). Oh and hubs looks a LOT like Matt Lauer. Especially with their dueling male pattern baldness. It's so hot.
Don't feel bad...my brother is way cooler than me too. Sometimes I'm not sure how we even share DNA. :)
Marshmallows and Tater Tots? Your poor tummy! :(
my my. you wouldn't be sarah without an h if there wasn't a proper amount of procrastination!! :-)
While I am madly in love with my husband, I would drop him in a second if Matt Lauer showed up on my doorstep. Smart and dreamy...**swoon**
You're a woman/girl after my own heart. Those celeb crushes may be age inaprop for some of us (you), but not for others (me)!! You have FANTASTIC taste in men... and Gene Hackman? Forgetaboutit! He's one of the greatest American actors of all time in my book. Very cool about your brother. What's he touring about (I may need to read more of your blog). Yeah, I'd say your digestion needs some TLC after that. I love your writings. Always entertaining and never ESTUPID! lOVE, Keri S365!
Glad you're back from Hong Kong, so I can be entertained by posts like this! I just finished reading about the monkey attack and this was a nice way to settle my nerves.
Well, shit dammit, Sara. If you called the almost being killed twice by residents of Hong Kong trip one of the best trips ever, I would hate to hear about a bad vacation of yours.
You are one bad bitch.
I have seen hoosiers but there are a shit ton of Indianay things I don't do.
Like....I don't know how to play Euchre. And now, I don't want to learn because I like to freak people out.
