BOOO BOOOOOOOO

Dude today sucks. Both Korea and USA got eliminated. Sad emo tears are streaming down my face right now. In addition, my belly is full of beer.

For those of you who want to follow along at home, here’s the list of winners and losers. As you’ll notice, I am one of the losers.

Last night I went to the deli to buy some beer and the deli-man is this old Korean guy who makes the same joke over and over again. When he gives you the total, say $8.99, he’ll say “THAT BE EIGHT THOUSAND NINETY NINE DOLLAR!” So last night he makes the joke again, and then says, HOLD ON A MINUTE, are you Korean? And then he got all proud of me for being Korean because obviously that’s quite an achievement, and said that I shouldn’t be drinking alcohol, but that I should be eating raisins instead. Then, he gave me a box of raisins. Which I am eating right now. You know how there are kids who hate raisins and then they grow up to be adults who hate raisins? I’m not one of them. I fucking love fucking raisins, man. They are delicious little rabbit turds. I mean goji berries? Acai berries? Whatever, man. Raisins, this is what I’m saying. When I got them in my Halloween sack (which was my Empire Strikes Back pillowcase, which I still have by the way), I totally ate them. I ate them way before the candy corn. Dude, candy corn is gross. It’s like sugared wax. Why should I eat that when I could be eating dried grapes? You know what else is gross? Necco wafers and Smarties (the American ones not the British ones which taste like M&Ms and are delicious despite the fact that they come in lame Easter egg pastel colors and therefore inferior to M&Ms though I do not approve of those stupid blue ones. I want the tan ones back!). American Smarties taste like vitamins and chalk combined. All of the sudden this blog became about candy. Curious.

Ok so I guess I’m rooting for Argentina now. In a related note: I don’t know anything about Argentinian candy.

    I remember when a teacher pretended to be nice and stupid by giving you “Smarties” just so they could laugh at their own clever pun. I hated that.

    Sorry Annie I haven’t been here in oh like a year. Missed reading your blog!

    These are quite popular in Argentina: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfajor
    They’re not exactly candy, but they’re sweet anyway so it should count.

    Orange American Smarties taste like St. Joseph’s Baby Aspirin.

    Tan M&Ms were the bomb.

    Hi from Korea!
