It Won't Be Long Now...
So I found myself with some American dollar bills the other day. Man, what ugly money we have. All the same size. No little indicators on the short edges to say how much the bill is worth. No color. Ugly and inefficient. Go USA!
Speaking of Go USA!, I was walking around this morning hoping to get some breakfast food. Note that breakfast food (the way I used to) is VERY hard to come by here, especially on a Saturday. McDonalds and KFC are the only places open early (read: before 11am) which have anything resembling an egg sandwich. I'm DEFINITELY looking forward to getting a good NY/NJ bagel with all the toppings at 7am (or 5, jetlag-depending). Can't wait to hit the 24-hour New Jersey diners again.
Among the mixed emotions of the past week or two, I've started to really look forward to eating pizza from Brooklyn's Coal Brick Oven Pizzeria in Hackensack, ice cream from Bischoffs in Teaneck, sushi from a non-landlocked country, going to a major league baseball game, reading every sign and newspaper I can, and watching the Simpsons in English.
Can't say I'm too thrilled about being assaulted with "news" about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the upcoming elections or the summer blockbuster movies. But so be it. Good with the bad.
America on Tuesday.
