I think we have a new tradition: theme dinners. Last night, Alayna and Austin hosted an evening we like to call "Man Night," where we ate a hearty meal, listened to manly music and planned on watching a manly show. Despite the brilliance and imagination it took to conjure up this eventful evening, we lacked one essential thing, men. Yep, last night, the guys actually stood us up on a meal planned in their honor. So what did we do? We ate manly food, listened to manly music, and decided to watch a BBC drama instead of the Simpsons (thank goodness). And thanks to BBC, the night even ended with a little man love (gross and unnecessary, I know, but there is really no shame on TV in Europe).
Work was a little slow today. I continued my project from Monday, typing the transcript from an interview and then attempting to edit some of the worst English I have ever heard. Surely I don't sound that bad when I speak to natives in French or Spanish, right? That's wishful thinking. Most people worked from home today which if you ask me is code for "personal day." Maybe I can work from home too... I love the questions that my coworkers ask me and hearing their impression of the States. Sadly, for those who have not visited, they only know Hollywood and New York; therefore, they have this impression that the whole nation is one overcrowded metropolis of pollution and it floors them to hear that rural areas do in fact exist. They all buy into the theory of global warming, which I happen to find ridiculous but maybe if I lived in Belgium permanently and you can have 3 seasons in one day and it can be 40 degrees in September, maybe I would believe it too.
As a side note, I think I enjoy blogging too much. At times I do forget that people actually read this so forgive me for all the nonsense. I feel like my life could be a sitcom if things continue in this manner. Thank you all for the comments (that include you, Tennis Instructor)! I do enjoy reading them and it makes my blogging experience even better.

Don't hate on people who work at home....I will probably work from home at some points in the future (like tonight at 10 pm!) But hey, I work at IBM...
