Playing catsup

Some of you know and some of you don't, but I arrived back in the States last Thursday -- my departure basically as hasty and unorganized as my arrival. Despite the horrible head cold that plagued me during the plane ride to NYC (and the 7 hour train ride to the Frankfurt airport) I was pretty psyched to be back in the US and about seeing my Non-Sexual Life Partner, Katie, and a host of other Smith alumnae, including: Courtney and Hannah (for the former's Weetibug initiation on Saturday) Jess and Sabs (for an Edison One reunion special and chinese food good times on Tuesday). So many in-jokes, so little time.

In fact, I was so psyched that I remarked to Jill, a fellow CBYX program participant, that I could do my "so- happy-to-be-here-interpretive-dance-in-the-form-of-an-irish-jig if I didn't have this pesky cold."

So, in an act of infinite kindness, Jill offered to perform the dance for me. Even though her version was not an irish jig, I think it accurately conveys the emotion of the moment



Oh man, white girls are crazy! You can get them to do just about anything on film!

*sigh* *wipes single tear from eye*

Currently, I'm takin it easy in Park Slope, BK and on Monday, I'm flying back to OKC. I'm terribly looking forward to seeing Crew 52 (especially since Bianca is now a registered nurse -- also she's 24 today, Happy Birthday, B!), La Familia Brooks, chicken fried steak, central air conditioning, driving and last but not least -- brushin off them haters...

And that, my friends, is what has been poppin in the streets.

It's pancake time.

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....

I’ve been fighting a huge craving for Taco Bell all day long. I don’t know how the idea got in my head, but I can’t seem to shake it. It’s not even so much that I want tacos or Mexican(-ish) food. In fact, I think if someone were to make a taco and put it right in front of me (ok, admittedly, I would eat it). However, there would be a part of my soul that would be entirely disappointed that it wasn’t Taco Bell. I found the Unofficial Taco Bell Blog this afternoon. I highly recommend it, especially if you (in their words) want to know more about the "seemingly endless wonders of Taco Bell". If you are jonesing for the Bell, however, this site will do nothing but compound the problem. Maybe part of the reason that I can’t stop thinking about it, is because Tunde is coming to Hamburg next Tuesday. And when I think Tunde , I think about the Air Force. When I think of the Air Force, I think about how the only Taco Bells in Germany are located on Air Force bases. These location...
