I always know there's something brewing in the States when everyone stops posting about OU football and cold weather to post about the same subject. (I will not confirm that Facebook is my news source). (I
swear I read the news, but I've been busy! It's sales season in Spain and I started Spanish classes!) Anyway, the point I want to make is that
you know its big news when Jim Risch updates his facebook status to write about it. So I thought, ooook USA what the fuck is this soup thing about? Sopa in espanol means soup. Since I live in Spanglish, I can't read that word and not think soup. So I am just going to refer to this as "the soup thing." So without furtherer do, I give my thoughts.
Facebook My current news source, was providing extremely limited information on what the soup thing actually IS.. (You've told me a million times that there IS soup, but
please tell me what kind of soup it is!) So I had to change outlets..... to Wikipedia, my internet best friend. You know when you are embarrassed to ask someone a question because they could shout out "Oh my god guys guess what Camille just asked me!!" Wikipedia would never betray my trust. He's like your humble intelligent friend. I search sea urchins, I search tabbouleh, I search meercat. So right, I like Wikipedia. I am actually becoming stupider in person because I can't stop a conversation to look something up. (I am one of the few people without an iphone). But no, I'm not resentful that I have to make flashcards at home with random info before going to the bar and hope that is the trivia to be touched upon. Iphones are
so overrated.
Anyway.................................
You can only imagine my stupefaction when my best friend tells me that the a Republican senator from Texas is trying to kill him. Well I may have been persuaded over at first by the cute name, but hell to the no, will any soup kill my internet friend. Sopa de mierda is what it sounds like to me.
That's kind of all I have to say on this.
You may think that I have just hoola-hooped around this issue and not actually said anything at all except that I found out that it exists. And then you may be right. But I like to feel that I am addressing political issues sometimes. I don't want anyone to get the idea that I live over here and just drink vino and explain the food pyramid in English. That would be quite the misconception, my friends. Soup thing - done. Give me another topic.
we try to care about American politics but it just makes us hungry. :)
