actually (finally) italy

(c) e.b. andersen 'too many capital letters' bartels. i am SAFE and SOUND and using a VERY unfamiliar keyboard in italy. it took me five minutes to find the apostrophe key. it's been that kind of day. italy is very, very hot (still in the low nineties) and... i don't have much more of an opinion of the country beyond that right now. talk to me in a week, perhaps?

Anyways, this week is going to be a mess. Let's assess: Monday is low key, sandwiches in Astoria and shopping for Things I Need For Italy. Tuesday, Jenny comes to town !!!! We hang out and do things like watch Rushmore at McCarren and eat barbecue on rooftops. Thursday morning at probably the asscrack of dawn, me, Jenny, and my mom haul ass back to Connecticut, where I have a doctor's appointment. I sit in my room and fume silently as the next two days are consumed by neverending packing. Saturday the entire fam packs up for Brooklyn where we send Jenny off to the airport on Sunday and me off on Monday.

Some days I think the universe is playing one huge celestial joke, my life.

soon soon soon

Home in Connecticut this next few days. Just got back from Ann Arbor. Had six cavities filled this morning. Just think, in less than two weeks, this blog will actually be written in and about Italy.
