Nachooooo


After much anticipation and laughing out loud during previews involving Jack Black flexing his ass, I saw Nacho Libre.
I won't ruin the magic of red and blue tights for you all, but I will say that this movie is a must-see for all of those that love Zoolander, Old School, High Fidelity (my Jack Black devirginzation flick) and such. I am a severe critic, but also a weird critic of movies, so don't email me complaining if you hate it - consider it a glimpse into my type of humour.
(P.S. If you don't laugh immediately when glancing at this picture of JB, it's a clue that maybe you are not part of the "target market" for Nachoooo.)

Anyway, I digress... the original purpose of my blog is to mention that tomorrow is, you know, THE DAY I leave for Europe!

Nervous? Yes. Scared? Yes. Nauseous? Yes. You probably have noticed that all these emotions/bodily functions are not positive ones. I think that most of my traveling friends have failed to mention that there is in fact a process called "The 5 stages of Females Traveling Alone in Europe with a Heavy Backpack Without Ever Doing Hard Labour" (a.k.a. 5FTAEHBWEDHL). And they forgot to mention that #1 on that list is nausea.

This blog helps me purge my negative emotions though, and I'm sure you'll all be relieved to hear that I am already feeling better. It still doesn't help when my parents are constantly either staring at me with a "Will I ever see you again?" look or making jokes about my lack of worldly knowledge. At this point, if anyone feels the urge to send me an email with positive and supportive comments, I would REALLY appreciate it.

All in all, as my wonderful lil bro would say, I am exaggerating. I have actually prepared myself more for this trip than my procrastinating ass has ever done before. I plan to make this the trip of a lifetime, and will bring back pictures to prove that I have actually gone on this trip.

I look forward to seeing you all when I return, and perhaps some of you IN Europe. Keep in touch!
