after today's uproarious display of bumpkin-ness, i think i have finally solved my personal dilemma of whether i am a city mouse or a country mouse.
after 2 days in dc, i have finally realized that baltimore is a lot of wonderful things, but it is not a city.
i just walked 3 miles to get groceries with one of those city-people grocery carts. these carts are not all made alike. do not buy the first one you see from a cheap chinese import store. i fell on my laden cart in the middle of the street at least 3 times, spilling all of my groceries. this never would have happened in baltimore because i had a car and the grocery stores had parking lots. cities do not have grocery stores with parking lots. cities barely even have grocery stores period.
this is a great time for such as important revelation given that i am about to embark on a career that will have me living in every capitol city in the world. crap. i am a country mouse with no hope of living in the country for the forseeable future. awesome.
and don't buy the above grocery cart. it sucks (that or i don't know how to drive it. probably the latter.)
