So, another week has gone by in the life of Margaret Alice Novakova, or as the southern hicks like to say- Margey Al (I cannot, for all the nerds in the world, bring myself to say Peggy Al). Wednesday was National Latino AIDS Awareness Day, so we spent Monday and Tuesday making a pinata and about 7,896 tissue paper flowers for our "awareness fiesta." We held it at a bar downtown and it was a fun time filled with margaritas and tequila poppers, but let's just say that Juneau is not up to par with Scottsdale when it comes to nightlife. Or when it comes to Latinos for that matter. I guess I will just have to get used to flannel, rubber boots, and a hoppin' crowd of ten fisherman for the next 11 months. I was, however, successful in collecting and hording all of the nerds (the candy kind) that burst out of our pinata!! (Well, I guess
that you can seen from this picture that I didn't have much competition, but with my nerdly enthusiasm, I assure you that I would have been successful nonetheless....) Sour nerds are the one thing that Alaska still has that the rest of the world kind of gave up on. Sometimes it is beneficial to be behind the times as sour nerds are one of the greater things in life and it is quite a travesty that they don't still exist in the lower 48. Oh look at that, I am talking like and Alaskan now. Let's see, what else is new? Well, I painted my office green, and decorated it with "save the world" posters. I have also recently made a rather huge and important decision that I think you should all be privy to.... I am going to be Poison Ivy (one of Batman's arch nemesises) for Halloween so that I can spray paint my hair hot red, as that hair-spray paint went over so well last year at our Ecuadorian/gringo Halloween party, which by the way, I wish I was going to this year because that was one hell of a party in one hell of a town. Speaking of which, I got my Skype up and running, so if you want to give me a jingle, my name is: margomargoshesahellofawoman. Alex had no idea what kind of gift he was giving the world when he first created that song. Ok, well I suppose that I must now go back to the grind.....
