Hasty way

Many apologies for this blog's severe hiatus. Let's celebrate with some entertaining English!

First of all, I just finished a box of chocolate milk. On the front, it says the following: "Our Chocolate flavored milk drink is hasty way to freshen up your day."

I have also had a student tell me that New York City is the capital of the earth. If you're thinking in stock exchange terms, I guess that statement is pretty accurate.

In other news, North Korea is planning to "launch a satellite" very soon, a serial killer has been caught (and everyone is interested in the fact that he's handsome), and I'm trying to work up the courage to buy a slab of yellow bread from the back of someone's truck (selling food from vehicles is quite common - there's a man who sells eggs from his car in our neighborhood, and we know when he's around because he always rings a little bell to announce his presence).

Also, all you Ohio dwellers, be jealous! It's jacket weather here!
