My employers family have a special ability. Nothing cool like breathing fire or moving objects with their mind, no this power they have is something far more subtle. I'm talking about their ability to undermine confidence without leaving evidence. Maybe its that I've been around them too long, or I'm having an off day. But after two weeks of ( Read more... )

I can't believe how stupid most english speaking foreigners who live here are. I was perusing an 'expatriot' website and came across a forum for people living in Prague from other countries, what I found wasn't pretty. People asking for legitimate help are ignored, and most of the threads were about how to pick up Czech girls who, 'have lower ( Read more... )

So while waiting for the tram this morning I was looking at the movie listings on a nearby posting board, and noticed Cloverfield was playing. Excited, I then made up my mind to see it this evening. I didn't want to go home till after I watched the movie, so I also went and saw I Am Legend.

Its been a month, and I've seen and heard a lot of things here in the Czech Republic, some have been surprising and some have not. For one thing, my grammar has probably taken a dive ( Read more... )

About 9:30pm Saturday evening, after finally finishing packing and moving out of 'The Limit', I think I finally allowed myself to feel excited finally. Because I think I lost about 4 pounds of tension after getting it done. And instead of fretting about what I haven't done, I finally started thinking about how cool it'll be ( Read more... )

I leave on Tuesday the 28th, and plan on being gone for an entire year. I can barely take anything, but I want to improve my people skills anyways. Also I really need to break my addiction to video games over homework. If I don't nip that bad habit, I will struggle with school for the rest of my life, if I can get through it at all. I also want ( Read more... )

In the interest of keeping in touch with many people while I'm away in the Czech republic, I am restarting my old LiveJournal account. I'll link it to Facebook, and give friends and family the link so that they can keep current without me needing to spend tons of time talking on the phone. I'm also going to make the effort to write down some of ( Read more... )
