Slacker that I am

Yes, I've failed to write some witty entry for today. I will assert that I've written a number of things but they are not finished.
I must say my Kansas trip is riveting. I went with a kid, who might be considered a distant relative if you think of things in the Filipino family sense, to watch Million Dollar Baby in the booming college town of Lawrence.
That movie left me a mess! And in light of the situation in Florida--wow. I will definately blog about that later. Yes, I did ask him dumb questions about Kansas. Like does he go cow-tipping. I know, I know. You'd think I'd be more culturally sensitive but alas, I didn't care.

But so far have been attempting to do homework in the only coffeeshop in town.
Mind you, it does have wireless. PTL (who actually uses that--hail my hs years)!
When I asked for loose-leaf tea, both the baristas looked at me like I was on crack. Then the young man remembered this large bag of darjeeling tea that was sitting under the counter. But of course, neither of them knew what the heck I was talking about when I tried to explain the little tea-spoon, thingy. Oh well. I learned to sip around the leaves.

Tonite I shall proceed to a midWestern cultural venue--Walmart. I shall try not to purchase a single thing because I don't want to support such an awful corporate giant. Um...yes, I'm still trying to balance the ideals of my Northwestern roots and my newly acquired viewpoints from small-town, USA.
