Yesterday evening, Andre stopped by our crib to cook for me and Seven (well, probably more for her, but I reaped some of the chicked winged benefits by association).

Anyhow, we were sitting on the couch when I turned to Andre and say (as though I were a bitter middle-aged woman conversing with her notoriously forgetful significant other), "You do remember what day tomorrow is, don't you?"

At which point, he placed the chicken wing he was devouring on to his plate, shouted, "Tomorrow's Hug a Mulatto Day!" and proceeded to semi-tackle me. Then he apologized for being a day early.

But he was right, today is the Third Annual Hug a Mulatto Day.

Hug a Mulatto Day (the Official Holiday of The Revolution) was (perhaps unintentionally) invented by me, as an answer to a survey that I created back in October 2004:

Start up a tradition right now and tell us about it:
I now declare October 25th "Hug a Mulatto Day," so just go out and hug a light brown person.


For the curious, the entire survey can be found here.

This must have struck a chord with Andre, because he was the one who reminded me about it last year. I plan on keeping it going for as long as possible... because... well, shit, not only can I use all the hugs I can get, but I also deserve them. Hooray for my sense of entitlement!

There are lots of ways to celebrate HaMD, the most common (not to mention, most appropriate) is to (duh) get out and start huggin' them Mulattos. If your Mulatto-dar* isn't so finely tuned, then just go out an hug some people who you think might be Mulatto**. I'm sure they wouldn't mind.

Otherwise, feel free to appreciate the many Mulatto contributions that make the world a better place. Listen to our music, watch our TV shows***, read about our adventures in Nazi Germany...

because if you do it voluntarily now...it'll make it a lot easier for you later.

You know, when The Revolution gets here.

*= That's "Mulatto + Radar" (patent pending)
** = Groups commonly mistaken for Mulatto: "The 'Cans" aka Native Americans, Mexicans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans; my light brownies and high yellow peoples; so-called "wiggers"; and black albinos.
***= Now you know why Scrubs is so funny. Mulattos write it. Ok, maybe not plural, but one is all you need.

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
