My Response to Ben G's post about england...
My response to 100 Things I wont miss about England (by Ben Gwynne)
Ha. Good stuff.
Living here now i can definitely relate to some of these..
1 - Lines are EVERYWHERE. Worse thing is people just accept it
2 - No one should have to pay to pee. Its a natural body function. So we pay to breathe?
3 - Yorkshire pudding is not at all pudding and not at all tasty. Its just baked dough without any flavor
4 - Royal Family. Seriously. What purpose do they serve in a democratic government? None, unless of course you count the media coverage they get when one of the princes (or their girlfriends) goes out 'on the piss'. I mean what the hell else are they supposed to do?
5 - Mullets, tight pants, and fuzzy boots as a fashion statement. Enough said.
but do have to contradict a few...
1 - English indian food (aka 'a curry') - Never had it before coming here and now i love it. its gotta be good then right?
2 - Weetabix - Not that bad if you mix up some fruit in it. Like the bananas, blueberries and apples like i did this morning
3 - English Breakfast - Not gonna lie, i like it
4 - Comments on America - I actually love this. People here in England think all people in america are stupid (granted, most people anywhere are, including america, but its only by sheer numbers that we have more of them) mostly because of the avg american's lack of knowledge of european geography. Fair enough, most people in america dont know where the Georgia (the country ) or what the capital of slovakia is, but ask a brit where idaho is or the capital of montana and watch them stutter and dribble. Lets keep in mind that flying from NYC to LA is a about 5 hrs long. Not to mention most euros think that NYC is the capital of america!
5 - Footie. I dont think i really have to fight this one if you know me but it is the greatest sport in the world. the daily, hourly, even up to the minute coverage is borderline heavenly
6 - Lou (bathroom) is spelled Loo, Cheaky is spelled cheeky
Ha. Good stuff.

Pillow Fight League
Fellas, Just found the best thing in the world to introduce my return to blogging. You should go since i cant...(and ladies if you wanna go please do, take a course, join and you can all play next time im in town ;-))
when: Sat 1.20 (6:30pm)
where: Galapagos Art Space (70 N 6th St, Wburg, 718.782.5188) map
price: $20 / $15 advance
links: http://www.gopfl.com/
Combining the best of both the capricious play of childhood and riot-grrrl roller derby, the Toronto-based Pillow Fight Leaguers invade Brooklyn tonight for their first US match. Fourteen ruthless ladies with pseudonyms like Betty Clock'er, Champain, and Sally Spitfire take to the ring for five-minute bouts of vicious leg drops, punches, and submission holds (but no hair-pulling!) — all executed via their trusty PFL regulation-issue pillows. Tonight, the tenacious fighters battle for the championship belt, but clearly, the audience is the biggest winner. (LT)
Note: Since Friday night's fight sold out, the battle continues this evening.
