Sleepless

You know how grocery stores have people walk around and push inventory to the front of the shelf so everything lines up all pretty and whatever?

And some stores have like.. spring loaded stuff that keeps food in sort of this magazine cartridge that always pushes stock toward the edge of the shelf?

Well I bought some meat from a grocery-- they had the spring loaded kind on very flat, plastic-wrapped deli meat. This was a bad idea, because when i grabbed one, there wasn't anything stopping like eight to fly out. Also, they were packed so closely together that the corner of one package would then trip an adjacent thing of meat. Long story short, foreign scrawny boy, sleep deprived and looking all disheveled and whatever with a pile of meats around him. I made eye contact with this guy, and he started laughing.

Mannnnnnnn...

So now i have some meat, and some cheese, but no fridge. They have a communal fridge ground level, with communal kitchen, but it was packed last time i went there, and I am way too tired to try to be social. maybe i'll just sneak it upstairs and eat stuff there before it spoils (against rules of hostel)

Whatever.

Also-- attractive women everywhere. And they're all holding hands with funky-looking guys with nice shoes and sweaters.

Also Also: The flight staff on Amsterdam to Vienna was really intense. Everything was said in German, and then in English, and the English was perfect and with no accent.

The flight attendant who was taking food orders throughout the flight would remember who spoke what the first time around and would continue to flip between english and german instantly and with no trace.

Europeans are smarter than me.

Waiting in line for the amsterdam to vienna, i was behind this family of three that switched between some indian language, french, and english without warning. It seemed like they'd switch mid-sentence just because they could. Fuck.
