Breakfast is the shiznit




Bitch, I said, "I do not like green eggs and ham!"

I've designated Sunday to be "Big-Ass Breakfast Day". I thought up that name yesterday, only to realize that my shift changes at the end of this week (again), and my new days off are going to be Tuesday and Wednesday. Thus, further fucking up my concept of days of the week. It's such a downer when Friday rolls around, but I'm thinking, "Today's not actually my Friday...um, Monday is?" Then my brain explodes.

I suppose what's going to happen is that I will have to re-assign B.A.B.D to Tuesday, which on the whole might just work out for the best.

See, I've streamlined my morning routine and making breakfast doesn't regularly factor into the plan, because I like to check my email at least once before I leave for the day. It's all about the priorities.

But on the first day of the "weekend" when I'm off, I like to make a big breakfast, with the works...eggs, bacon, hash browns, big fluffy pancakes. The only problem is that I can't just make a big-ass breakfast for one...I have to make a big-ass breakfast for up to 5, which isn't so bad once you get everything going...but my laziness overrides my willingness to impress my sister with my bomb pancake recipe (so light and fluffy, I tell you).

I've recently managed to overcome this problem, because a diner opened up down the street from us. You can call ahead to order and ten minutes later, you pick up the tasty vittles via drive-thru window. It's awesome, slightly pricier, but awesome.

Last Sunday, in an attempt to save some money, I decided to get up early and actually cook myself a big breakfast. However, I realized we didn't have any syrup, so I made a quick run to the store and by the time I got back my dad and my sister were already awake...and hungry. Spending the better part of the morning in the kitchen is not way up there on the list of things I want to do on my day off.

Wow, I feel pretty sorry for you if you sat there and read all that crap.

Also, I am unsure of the amount of updating that will get done this week. Because Shitty Thanksgiving Shift + Shift Change + Mandatory Overtime = One Unhappy Raven.

They'll both help you feel better in totally different ways.

The Best Taco Bell in Germany

 Last weekend, I crossed off a major item on my bucket list. I went to Taco Bell in Germany. "But Raven, shouldn't you aspire to better, healthier things that have a measurable positive impact on society?" I know that's what you're thinking, but I don't really give a crap... because you are not the boss of me.  I wanted Taco Bell, because it's probably the one thing from back at home that I crave the most. Say what you want about it (again, I don't give a crap), but get at me when you've spent years away from your homeland and are unable to acquire whatever nasty-ass comfort food is available wherever you're from. For me, my nasty-ass comfort food of choice is Taco Bell...with Sonic a close second. However, you can't even find Sonic all over the U.S. and I don't find myself craving burgers and hot dogs all the time (plus, those urges are a lot easier to satisfy than a craving for Mexican or Tex-mex).

The One Who Got Away (Part 6): PLOT TWIST

Quick Translation: This confirms that German citizenship will not be opposed, if within two years it can be verified that the aforementioned person no longer possesses citizenship for Trinidad and Tobago e   and/or has fulfilled the requirements for the loss of this citizenship and that nothing has happened in the meantime, which would forbid naturalization.  I almost forgot what it felt like to receive a industrial size dose of 100% homegrown German bureaucratic pedantry. Luckily, the German authorities will never leave you too long without a fix. You can count on that. As you can see from the picture above (and from my previous posts), Trinidad and Tobago e  had only been mentioned once in passing up until now, when I finalized my application and paid the fee. Mr. S: Your mother was naturalized in the U.S. after you were born? Me: Yes, but she never applied for Trinidadian citizenship for me, which would have had to have been done by my 18th birthday.  Mr. S: Ok. (Ac

The One Who Got Away (Part 5)

Pro tip: Don't estimate the amount of time it will take to review your citizenship application based on the amount of time it took to get the results of your citizenship test. So far, this has been the area of the German-side of the process that ran a little closer to my bureaucratic expectations, namely, if an official expresses a length of time -- e.g. 3-6 months -- things will start moving closer to the six month mark than the three month mark. Getting down to the wire, I was (and still am) slightly concerned that this would drag on and I would have to renew my U.S. passport first, since it's getting kinda close to the point where it's only valid for six months. This would have cost me 1.) more money 2.) plus a trip to a consulate that actually does shit for U.S. citizens 3.) money and time off work for a trip to Bremen, Berlin, or Frankfurt. As luck would have it, I finally received notification that the Germans are letting me in! The full term is that they are
