Last weekend of October

25th and 26th of October, Saturday and Sunday

I've decided not to write about every single day that I have here. On some days, I'm just not doing anything interesting, or worth mentioning. Like yesterday. I didn't leave my room the whole day, and honestly, there's no problem putting on your pyjamas at night, when you didn't even take them off in the morning.
  On Sunday though, we went to church. I had an idea, that I think will be a comfortable arrangement for both me and Herb. He insist that I go to church with them, but I don't want to. So I suggested to stay at his office (his school, where he's the principal, is together with their church), while they attend the ceremony. That way, I'm still in the building, but not really in the religious part of it. And I can do whatever I want. He accepted my suggestion, so I did my Creative Writing homework on his computer. We have a new project. We needed to draw pieces of paper out of bags, and the terms on them defined our story. There was a protagonist, a complication (like what happens), an object and a place. Mine was Mr. and Mrs. Popularity; is trapped; someone else's spouse; and a subway station. It's one of the harder ones, but I'm halfway through already. I'll finish it tomorrow, and then it'll be open for anyone to read, if you shoot me an email.
   After the ceremony, Herb and Anne came down, and we had a lunch at the school's gym. There were a few dozen tables set up, and a lot of people. We ate chili and listened to religious organization's presentations, about how they spread the faith around the world.
  When we got home, I skyped my parents. My Mom just got home from a demonstration she took part in. The Hungarian government wants to make a new tax on the Internet. It would mean 0.62 USD / GB, if we were to translate it into dollars. This is outrageous, after my Mom left the, then peaceful, demonstration, it turned really wild. People threw keyboards and mouses on official building of that political party. And a lot of people are angry. My Dad counted that if that tax law would become official, it would mean our family alone would have to pay 150$ more per month! Not to mention, that even the government mainly runs on the Internet, and everybody uses emails. Our Prime Minister (which would be the President), doesn't even know the difference between fax and emails. This is really dissapointing, frustrating and annoying. Even for me, although I don't live there now.
  We went to Applebee's for dinner. It's a restaurant, but there's a bar in the middle. There are a lot of half-fastfood restaurants like this in America. Your food is prepared in 5-10 minutes, and it's mostly junk-food, but the healthier kind. Like chicken wings, salads, soups, burgers. We tried to order with a little touchsreen device that was on every table. It's an alternative way to order without a waitress, but we failed, so we just called a server. We shared a taco appetizer and I had chicken breast with grilled vegetables. It's nice to visit new restaurants once in a while. I haven't been to a lot of places, still.
