Wow, time has really gotten away from me! I have been home for a week and a half, but it feels like much longer, and I haven't posted at all about my trip like I said I would. So sorry! I can't believe how busy I have been. If any of you remember my excitement about seeing Collective Soul, well, it got canceled :( I guess one of the guys was sick, ( Read more... )

Our aprtment has free internet! Yay! This city is huge and there is so much to see. It's just amazing. Yesterday after some horrible airport experiences, a long train ride, and hauling our luggage through Rome, we took a nap before doing anything. Once we had some energy we walked to dinner, got lost and found a really good Chinese place. Yes, we ( Read more... )

I should be sleeping. I'm leaving for the airport in 6 hours. Oh well, I'll have lots of time to sleep on the plane. Anyway, I'm super excited. I'm gone for 12 days, come back and leave again for an overnight trip to see Collective Soul on March 29. Everybody have a fabulous couple of weeks! Oh, and kiri427, you made it in just under a wire for a postcard

The airline ( Read more... )

Tonight I went and saw In Bruges. What a strange movie. It had some really funny parts in it though. The cast was good too. It has Colin Farrell (hot!), and the HP cast of Brendan Gleeson (Prof Moody), Ralph Fiennes (duh, Voldie pants), and even Clémence Poésy (Fleur Delacour). At one point Brendan Gleeson's character is on the phone with his "boss ( Read more... )

My flight from Venice to Rome has been canceled. Crap crap crap. I'm on the phone with Expedia and what they're saying is that the flight was canceled and the next flight leaving from Venice to Rome is not until 2 p.m. which is four hours after our flight leaves Rome to New York. Sooo... crap! They can't do anything until Monday because the third ( Read more... )

I just booked myself a ticket to Italy. That's right, I said ITALY!!!! This has actually been in the planning stages since way before I went to Amsterdam, but I didn't want to say too much about it just in case it didn't work out ( Read more... )
