There were also these Aussie girls there, and they came over to us while we were passing around the guitar and (in all seriousness) asked us if we knew any Brittney Spears. Their accents were not soothing; they actually kinda reminded me of harpies chewing on glass. Niether here nor there, I suppose.
*lol*

The Fosters beer ad campaign is hilarious.

I sprained my ankle once, but my therapist was Costa Rican. Oh well, you can't hit it every time!
