Pence and Sensibility or Why I'll never be an Investment Banker

Ok. I take it all back completely. This country is not any less expensive than England, but then why do we like to label it as being so expensive at the moment? In general, expensive things seem to be expensive by virtue of the fact that they ARE expensive things, but for this model, expensive things generally cost the same everywhere right? Uggh...I don't think I have the time or dignity to discuss this in full, but I get the impression that we label Britain = London as being so expensive becuase what's cool or in over there never comes at a bargain. It has to do with an entirely different sensibility for what is what right? For instance, in contrast to Boston, which is a huge University town too, Oxford doesn't have the proliferation of huge and very cool second hand emporia that sell things for like 2 dollars. This in Oxford would be incredibly cool in many ways, especially for my grocery bill. But on the other hand, that would dramatically change the face of Oxford. Right? I mean they have 'Charity Shops' but it's all stuff that should be DONATED to charity, not sold for it's profit. This cannot be said of the Boston set, wherein you can usually find something really decent, and cool because it's obviously second hand everyone know's that's what you were going for. Another thing is this unifying theme of groceries. Well, it IS the way we go through daily life no? Ok so I was eating a head of Boston lettuce tonight, and I looked at the $1.79 label. And said a few wtfs to myself. Round lettuce, which is Boston lettuce's hydroponic pseudonym in England costs 34p! Shut the fuck up Touré, who on VH1 bitched about the 2 to 1 exchange rate recently. Put that on your playlist.

In other news. I have resolved not to attend, as a rule, plays, of which the casts are over fifty percent recorded as "townspeople." Long story involving a lot of inappropriate laughing at a school play which wasn't sposed to be funny at all. And since when did Salem Witches wear fake tan. Ugggh...
