"I've got a decent hand, up your ass."

[curse10_05]

I'm totally digging the whole Italian lackadaisical lifestyle. It's a nice change of pace coming from a country that is all hustle and bustle, living by every second of the clock. Here, the only thing on time is the train station. Besides that, people kind of come and go as they please, with a "I'll get there when I get there" kind of attitude. It's very relaxed and easy going. For instance, none of my professors are in class on time. They're always between 5-40 minutes "late," which doesn't really phase them. I remember it kind of weirded me out the first couple weeks not living by a concrete schedule, but now my whole concept of punctuality is just kind of thrown out the window. You never really see any clocks anywhere, let alone people wearing watches, and the only time that the church bells ring are to signal start and end of mass, start and end of work, and I think siesta, but I'm not quite positive.

Siesta is a kind of lunch break during the afternoon, usually somewhere around 11 am - 2 pm. Apparently all the Italians go home and have a big, lengthy lunch. It's kind of a pain of the ass though, because about 80% of the stores shut down for siesta, so it makes errands a tad bit difficult to complete at times.

So, this little lady will be seeing AFI play in Milan on May 5th, which also coincides with Katie's 21st birthday. Yeah, be jealous.

I have to admit, I really love Will Smith's song, "Switch." He's got the beats to get me out of my seat.

Anyway, that's all my thoughts for the moment.

Big Hugs & Sloppy Snogs,
