Filler Post #22 - ...and then I was like "Emilio!"

I was trying to post a new blog entry, but then Remington interrupted me with an instant message regaling me with tales of Chris Kattan's visit to my brother's workplace. It wasn't so much the visit by the "celebrity" (*snicker*) that set me off, but rather the fact that his company (also a call center for a large, well-known corporation) has free catered BBQ all the fucking time.

Well, I finally figured out something that could one-up that, you little bastard...I think the paint fumes from the remodeling going on across from my desk got me a little bit high while I was doing my overtime this morning...and I saw a guy walk by on stilts.

I don't know if the two events were related...but the psychodelic effects were f-r-e-e, baby...in yo face!

Anyway, on a totally unrelated note, I was checking out one of my favorite link sites named after a disturbing sexual act -- Gorilla Mask -- and their first link for January 31st was for a generic Dr. Pepper website.

Oh the memories. Ok, so here's the funny thing: I linked back to the Dr. Pepper page way back in 1998 on the very first webpage I ever made in my entire life (so embarrassing...it's most definitely a shrine to a very different time in my life). Then, after I had linked to the page the guy who made the page quoted me in the "Reviews of the Site" section. Anyway, it just brough up a lot of old memories for one day...

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...
