Bowling for Algeria
I've got Millencolin's Strike! running through my head tonight, because Anna and I went bowling. Yes, that's right, bowling. And we were awesome. Strike after strike after strike. Sort of. In theory.
Then we proceeded to go into town and sit on the square for a chat, only to have an Algerian guy trying to pick us up. In French. As you know, I don't speak French at all (except for catching the word "rendezvouz" which made me go "oh, crap") , so poor Anna had to deal with him. Apparently, he was traveling through Europe, had always wanted to see Scandinavia and had now achieved his life's goal by coming here (dude, seriously, you need better goals), and had a friend for me who was "just like him". Oh, goodie!
Also, he was interested to know why Swedes are so "closed". We were interested to know why he was so slimy, but neither of us knew the French word for that, so we couldn't ask. We explained that we both had boyfriends and were going to meet up with friends, and so had to leave. Anna's a fabulous liar, aren't you, dear?
My poor gum and the stitches still hurt.
Logan, I finally saw the "Heroes" finale! And I... was kinda underwhelmed. *hides* The second to last was fan-fucking-tastic, but the finale itself... Hi, plot holes! Sigh.
And... He's not dead! He just fell in some pie! Shut up. No, SHUT UP.

Hm. Strangely enough, I've never been bowling, but I have been hit on by an Algerian guy before. Seems like it might should be the other way around.
You weren't the only underwhelmed one. I loved it myself, but I've heard similar from other people so far. :P And Hiro went back in tiiiiiime! Now is when I will NOT start bitching about how modern Japanese would be almost incomprehensible to Japanese speakers of that time.
It might should, yes. Bowling is great fun, you should try it! Much more fun that being hit on by Algerian guys.
Who knows, maybe Kring will surprise us by not having Hiro understand anyone in the past!
Nathan's not dead. Nu-uh. It was pie.
