That Which Turns Me Green

I can count on my friend Sarah for lots of things, but most notably to make me laugh. Right now she's on a trip to Europe - Prague and Russia, specifically, with her mother.

Today, I received the following text message from her screen name:

We are leaving Mother Russia.
We have waited far too long.
We are leaving Mother Russia.
When they come for us, we'll be gone.


I'm guessing:

a) There aren't many movie theaters in Russia.

b) The chick is sitting on the curb outside a local pub, knocking back shots of Moskovskaya vodka and pints of borscht while sharing drunken folk songs with some elderly, nostalgic, bearded Ruskies - while her mom snoozes unknowingly, six stories above them, back at the hotel.

You already know how warmly I feel towards Russian men, so you can rightfully label me Jealous that she's busy basking in the glow of their attentions.

Eat it up, girl.

After I wrote it, I said to my mom, russia's not even in europe, huh? And she went, I think it's in Asia. And I should I'm too tired to correct it now, not getting much sleep these days. And she said, it's fine.

and now the smarty pants's are weighing in.

Speaking of pants, here's a thought:

Sometimes life seems like a dream, especially when I look down and see that I forgot to put on my pants.

Actually, most geographers consider the Ural Mountains as the eastern border of Europe / western border of Asia. Therefore, Mother Russia (especially the power centers of Moscow and St Petersberg) is technically in both Europe and Asia. Culturally as well, Russia (which spans nine time zones) is divided into very European and very Asian enclaves.
