Chariots of Fire
MUSIC
In a bit irony…. as I was briskly walking to the bathroom in a mall the other day I noticed that the theme song to Chariots of Fire was playing. It seems like you can never really walk fast ENOUGH when you really have to take care of business.
ADAPTATION
In other news, I can report that my American English is now adapting to the use of British English. I’ll provide some examples: college –> university, bathroom –> WC, basement –> cellar, vacation –> holiday, line –> queue
Yes, I am become Euro-fied.
FOOD
In other news I am currently making a delicious American-style breakfast. It’s 1pm but I want it! I found a nice ’slab’ of English bacon yesterday so I had to buy it. The ‘regular’ English bacon here is sliced but it’s in squares. The slab I bought has to be sliced by yours truly but I can slice nice thick strips if I so choose. I so chose. I was all set to take snapshots of my delicious creation but since the bacon finished first, I could not resist eating said bacon. It was just there all pretty and greasy and glistening on the plate. Plus, cold bacon ain’t so good. Therefore, there will be no photo of my breakfast. The hash browns are cooking right now and I’ll make some cheesy scrambled eggs after. Ah yes…..BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS!
And on a note of personal preference, those of you who prefer crispy bacon…well, you are doing a disservice to the bacon. If it crumbles, it’s not good! Greasy, floppy bacon is the only way to go. I feel very strongly about this.
PICTURES
I promise I’ll get new pictures here soon. The Sedlec Ossuary and a day trip to Kutna Hora await your eyes!
