Jeez, Firework was nominated more than once. That song is awful.
And I wish Sigh No More were somewhere in there.
I love Djokovic, but this is just ridiculous. http://t.co/q5Mbi0OS

What I learned from my trip to New Zealand and Tahiti
- Kiwis are blunt, but nice.
- People in the U.S. should be nicer.
- New Zealand is expensive.
- Tahiti is even more expensive.
- Alcohol is ridiculously expensive in New Zealand, therefore there is no such thing as a “strong drink”.
- Kiwis don’t care as much for LOTR as one would expect. Go figure.
- Every once in a blue moon, you happen upon nice—and more importantly tidy—guys as your hostel roommates. This good luck should always be appreciated.
- Wherever you go, never forget to bring your sunblock. Otherwise it can cost you north of $30 for some lame 4 oz SPF 8 bottle.
- Lying out in the sun for 3 days straight is not as fun unless there is DirecTV and/or Internet readily available.
- Despite being on my best behavior, I always get subjected to “random” searches at airports. Might as well return to being my obnoxious, impatient self. [Not really something I learned, but more of a complaint.]
- I will never take the Super Shuttle to/from LAX again. Ever. [Yet another complaint.]
- Ten days abroad will drain your bank account.
“Because he was drunk, he thought about his mother, and how she’d held him once when he was little after he’d lost an action figure down a storm drain, and he smoothed his red, smarting face into his cool pillow and sobbed as if his heart were broken.”

And...back to reality.
Oh, there goes gravity.
- Steph: Oh my god, there's a child right next to us.
- Meron: You must be joking. I'm going to kill myself.
It is 75 degrees out and I’m wearing a sweater. I’m getting tired of LA’s unpredictable weather.
- Meron: Do you know anything about the outlets?
- Steph: What?
- Meron: The outlets.
- Steph: Where?
- Meron: In New Zealand!
- Steph: You mean shopping?
- Meron: I mean electrical!
Protesters from the carpenters union are back. How fantastic.

They might be aiming way too high.
The purpose of driving is to get from point A to point B in the shortest amount of time possible. It is NOT a leisurely activity to participate in during rush hour.
