I'm beginning to feel a little bit like I'm bragging about how awesome palau is, when it's so cold at home, and that feels unfair. so this blog is dedicated to some things that aren't that great about Palau.
1. It's sweaty here. All the time. like dripping, unstoppable sweat.
2. Things take a long time here. The internet, waiting in line for things, driving places. It's definitely island living and I am definitely an uptight east coast girl who needs to learn to relax.
3. There is no Marshalls here.
4. I'm doing the running part of a triathlon this weekend (oh, just 6.2 miles) and because it's so hot here, we start at 6 am. oof. It's also about 3 miles uphill. I'll blog about that next week.
5. There is no good steak here (sorry mom, I'm sad about this too).
6. It's been 11 weeks since I've been on perezhilton.com or any other celebrity "news" site and I feel very out of touch. updates people????
7. I only get one radio station in my car, and it's A.M. we get a mix of palauan talk radio, BBC news, palauan songs, and palauan re-mixes of american songs (my favorites). I have no idea what songs are new (again, updates are welcome here) and good. my ipod mixes are suffering.
8. Rats and Roaches. There aren't THAT many, but it's not fun to nearly have a heart attack at 7:30 on the way to work. or stepping out of the shower. or getting out of the car. Ok, so I've only seen two rats, but that's plenty.
Ok, that's about it. I really do love it here. these are minor setbacks for what is altogether a tropical paradise.

The converse:
1. It is cold here. Like snot feeling weird in your nostrils when you breath in cold. I spend my nights swaddled in flannel.
2. Everything is fast & accessible here. Which remains tough on the old A.D.D.
3. Ross is a wonderland. Also, I've been doing xmas shopping online. At work, obviously.
4. I am too sleepy to run b/c it's law school finals time and someone keeps me up late talking. Someone.
5. I shower in steak and eat steaks for breakfast. I also use steaks as bookmarks. Mmm.. delicious steaks.
6. Britney is BACK (but not better than ever).
7. The new Kanye is off the chain.
8. I saw an asian man with a rat tail on the bus yesterday.
did katie tell you this already? we weren't somehow aware that you were posting on this blog, and i found out thanks to caro.
i don't know a goddamn thing about leaving clever comments. give me 5 hours and a beer and i'll think of something. and then get on the fast internet and post it up pronto.
