Still in college

People here eat like they are still in college.

Meaning that any time they have the opportunity to eat a free meal, they will stuff their faces to the max and then stick some extra in their purse for later. They also will complain about fancy parties because they know that while the food may be good, you only get a little bit and can't gorge yourself for later. True story. They bring empty plastic bags and stuff them full of food, tie it off and bring it home for later.

In other news I just watched The Rock Horror Picture show for the first time ever. And I'm not really sure why it exists/what the point is, but I can honestly say that Tim Curry is amazing in that movie. Real fabulous.

Also I just got Inception and love of my life Darren Aronofsky just made a new movie with another love of my life Natalie Portman called Black Swan, so that's what I plan on spending my morning on. Watching those two movies and wearing shorts. I feel great about it.

Speaking of movies, last time I was in Ouaga we watched 127 hours, which is that movie based on the true story of the guy who had to cut his own arm off when he went hiking in Canyonlands and got stuck. Craziest movie ever, and haunted me for a week- I kept seeing him cut his own arm off. It was out of control.

Also it's FESPACO here, which is the bi-annual west african film festival here in Ouaga. Meaning that last night when we went out for dinner there were a ton of white people, I even saw teens and I was super weirded out. They were dressed so well like they were still in France or whereever it was they came from.
