If it weren't probably illegal in Alabama, I would marry Trader Joe's. Even though the ones in Maryland can't sell alcohol, they still rock. For those of us who don't like to cook, the rice bowls are cheap, reasonably healthy, and delicious and microwave in 4 minutes. They're Weight Watchers as it should have been. And I got delicious baby peppers, and cheap good cheese, and a Greek pizza that was very good....

Also, I've decided that I'm going to attempt to go through the Czech beers at the Brickskeller. One down, thirteen to go.

I like Czech beer because I can associate it with a very good memory. My second to last night in Prague, E--, C--, C-- and I went to an empty bar and had a bunch of very cheap Pilsners. Then, drunk, we went to the Charles Bridge to see it at night. It was amazingly creepy, since you were never sure that everything you saw was a gargoyle and not someone hanging out in the shadows. Once we managed to scare the hell out of each other, we walked back to the Mala Strana, to our awesome flat.
