A Crash Course in Prague
What Sleep Cycle is This?!?!
I need to be going to bed at 10pm and getting up at 7. This is crazy. Last night I went downstairs at 3:30am to see if the Sox game was on satellite. After fixing the system (it was wried wrong) I finally found that it was blacked out. And it wasn’t on any other channels (yes, I went thru all 1300 of them).
So I went back up stairs and bought an international postseason internet package so I can see all the games.
And went to bed at quarter ‘til 6 this morning.
I have issues.
Anyways I woke up around 1, and after showering and eating a banana, went to the Tesco express a few stops up on the tram. No pencil lead. None. I got baby soap. I got bacon. I got cookies. I found brownie mix. No lead.
I headed back, stopping at the local corner store for the pencil lead. They offered me a pen. But then magically my pencil had one remaining stick of lead. The world hasn’t ended yet. I’m sure I’ll find it at the big Tesco when I go into town tomorrow.
I made breakfast with the bacon and eggs I picked up. The bacon doesn’t smell like bacon... or cook like normal bacon... but it tastes pretty much the same. On the other hand they don’t keep the eggs refrigerated. Strange. I put them in the fridge when I got home.
By the way, the glass is filled with apple juice, not brandy. I haven’t reached that stage yet.
After breakfast I made brownies. But they aren’t real brownies. They are more like cake than brownies. Upon speaking with the RA’s there are “English Brownies” that are different. I guess that’s why English Muffins aren’t real muffins. Czech Brownies aren’t real brownies.
That logic probably doesn't work in anyone else’s head except for mine... Just go with it.
I made dinner (the Czech version of Celeste Pizza) and washed my laundry as it’s the only chance I’ll really have to take care of it this week. I’m leaving for Russia on Thursday!
And for some reason I just ran out of things to say. So that must be it... Other than the fight with my computer calender and the time-zone support (or lack thereof) today was pretty uneventful. I like it that way. Long day tomorrow... Physiotherapy in the AM, class at night, and a movie (about Russia) after that.
Maybe I’ll go to sleep now. At least it’s before 2...
