Random Thoughts

Random thought #1--I was sitting in a meeting with Pres Pieper, Elder Manzhos, and Andrei earlier last week, when all of the sudden I thought, "Wow, I am sitting in between the President of the Europe East Area, and a member of the Seventy. I work with them!"

Random thought #2--Totally unrelated, hence random: When someone tries to go through at the metro without paying, it plays a melody really loud that I swear is music from Harry Potter! Really, I'm going to walk through it on purpose some day just so I can record it.

Random thought #3--a cup of Greenfield chamomile tea, one half kilo of Vaffli, 2/5 package of vanilla ice cream, plus one large tablespoon of peanut butter=delicious, even if it is not a great idea and will lead to you swearing off sugar for weeks at a time.

Random thought #4--make sure you know the exact address of the place you are trying to go if you are the only sober one in the taxi. Odds are, the person who knows will be passed out by the time you get close enough to need more specific directions, and your one friend who is actually holding their vodka well will probably not speak Russian or know how to get anywhere either.

Random thought #5--if you do overindulge in Vaffli, the best remedy is to dance to Creedence Clearwater Revival in the Area office.

Random thought #6--don't eat in the cafeteria on the second floor of the Rinok--especially after a sugar high. Unless they are serving Borscht.

Random thought #7--you can actually get a hang-over from over-consumption of sugar. Note: This may only occur if you have never had alcohol.

Random thought #8--Simon & Garfunkel are fantastic
