For the past hour my brain has been ruminating in the background on a name that after googling turned out to be the mayor of Moscow. I did not know I knew the name of the mayor of Moscow.

    Once in a while yes. Once while I was on a 10 hour flight without internet access to look stuff up, I started wondering who the hell Golda Meir was. And since Hebrew is very far away from any languages I know, I wasn’t even sure if it was a real person.

    It annoyed me for the entire flight, so as soon as we touched down, 10 seconds of research online revealed that it was some former prime minister in Israel. Once I knew, it made sense, as I was reading up on history of the region a while before.

    OH god sakes yes.

    Every now and then for some silly ass reason my brain will start internally chanting:

    • Boutros Boutros-Ghali (“said” quickly) followed by Benjamin Netanyahu (“said” slowly with a deep voice).
