~Day 1~ Getting over Jetlag/Getting Ready for a Busy Week Ahead

So I made it to Debrecen yesterday afternoon after many hours on planes and layovers. No problems with any of the flights or anything though so I'm not complaining.

Met my taxi guy at the airport (nem English) and after communicating with him via sign language that we could not leave until I got a Diet Coke, we were off. The poor guy must have thought I was drunk. I was so drowsy I slept probably 90% of the way. I was trying to stay awake to help with the jetlag, but no such luck. Kate riding in a car + sun = sleep.

Last night, I made my first trip to the Match grocery store to stock up on Diet Coke and water. I tried to find some fruit but no luck. Mini Product Review: Activia Yogurt - I had something that looked like mixed berry and it was delicious. I crumbled up some plain Puffins in it this morning - 5 stars!

More later - doing some last minutes touches on my training presentation for tomorrow. Training 20 students tomorrow, 20 Wednesday, QC'ing all of their word (and making any needed cuts) on Thursday and then starting for real on Friday.

Intrade Prediction Markets

It's like a stock exchange for political figures and/or events. It's hard to explain but just go there and you'll see what I'm talking about.

I'm adding a "stock tracking" chart to my blog for the Presidential Candidates.

Edited to add: couldn't figure out a way to make it fit nicely on the left-hand side so it's gonna sit on top of blog posts for a while. When I get tired of it, I'll move it to the bottom.

Product Review - Fresh Gourmet Tortilla Strips

So my friend Mimi introduced me to Fresh Gourmet Wonton Strips (Wasabi Ranch flavor). They are like crack.



So when I saw Santa Fe style crack, I had to try it. I've been eating a lot of rabbit food lately so I need something to change it up. I really like these too! 5 Stars!



My friend at work, Ann, likes these plain salted ones, but I just don't understand why you would ever choose plain tortilla strips over MSG-smothered tortilla strips. Who knows.

I Promise More Posts at the End of the Month

I am heading back to Hungary at the end of this month to do some additional training, so I will try to post something daily during that week. I am not promising quality content people, just quantity.

Movie Review

Went and saw "The Counterfeiters" the other day and it was really good. It's based on a true story about prisoners in a concentration camp who are selected based on their professions (printer/graphic design) to try and counterfeit the British pound and American dollar for the Nazis. It's a little difficult to watch in places - they don't sugarcoat anything. Oh and it's in German with English sub-titles.

Cute Overload

Tiny pig + tiny boots = Cute Overload

Just kill me now.

You wanted more posts!

I didn't say they were all going to be good, but I think you will get a laugh from this:
