Try Me Do To Forget the Batteries!

-Age of Empires III was unveiled recently in stores around the world. The object is to help a European power establish an empire in the New World. I wonder if the difficulty setting is guaged by how much help you get from the epidemics you bring with you. Not to be outdone, another video game company has managed to hook Chow Yun Fat for its latest high action product. Apparently, however, the name of the game was decided (and insisted) upon before this hire: Inspector Tequila. Therefore, the argument against Macs that they aren't compatible with most games is more and more losing its force.

-I wrote "Goats" in my notes, and since I'm not really sure what I was referring to with such succinctness, let me just say that goats are scary. Not when you're eating them, in which case they're delicious (except for that morsel Alex found). But what I'm talking about is when they try to eat our bus, or when when they grow sharp horns longer than a scimitar and bleat the dirge of mankind. Therefore, watch out for the goats.

-NAN (Neolithic Ad Nauseam) day was celebrated on the 21st of October by our little group, and let me tell you, it was one of the greatest 3 hours-that-seemed like-I-was-passing-a-kidney-stone-while-reading-Dickens of my life. The highlight was when it started raining. Actually, my apologies, the highlight was stepping on and crunching snails no matter where you stepped. I'd put a picture in but my camera refused to be accomplice to reproducing that day. Therefore, NAN day should only be served with lots of Chana Masala, samosas, and anything else that will put you in a food coma til the sun goes down.

-"I'm gonna dip it in Nutella and love it the whole way down." Dipping granola bars in Nutella has become one of my greatest inventions of recent note. I met with an obstacle when the bar tore off into the nutella jar, but on fishing it out I discovered that you get even more chocolate-hazelnutty goodness on your hands, great for licking off. Therefore, try it, try it and you may, I say.

-Have I ever mentioned that you can't flush toilet paper in Greece? Well you can't. I know, I shouldn't complain, but for me it's not even that I think it's primitive. It's the onerous guilt I mind, that comes upon you unawares, in the middle of the night, when the thought strikes you that you may have accidentally thrown a piece of toilet paper in the toilet during "office hours" after dinner. What if I'm responsible for another catastrophe like the Great Clog of '73? Therefore, mi pikhnete TIPOTE stin toualeta!!!

-I dare you to find me a pumpkin for our Halloween party. It's not that they don't have them, but they think they're only to decorate the windows of their supermarkets. When you ask how much they cost, you are informed that they are not for sale. Maybe I'm being insensitive and these pumpkins are family heirlooms passed down from generation to generation, but more than likely these people don't know how to run a business and deserve people like me, who come in, look at every product on the shelf intensely, and then leave without buying anything. Therefore, sell me a flippin' pumpkin!

-Ah, the title. This was the warning on a toy box in the window of a store in Dimitsana. Personally, I think it's a great title for a solid British rock song. Therefore, it's definitely worth it to go toy shopping in Greece.

-I've had the urge recently to write a serious blog, but I'm not really sure how to go about it at this point. If you have any ideas that I won't ridicule for not being well thought-out or just plain retarded, please don't hesitate to let me know. I also make a really good statue. Therefore,
