Too bad re: the dates! But I suppose that week is when everyone has some sort of getaway planned. Be prepared for heat and crowded trains, though :/ And yes, if you do manage to plan a trip to Rome, or elsewhere in Italy, for next year it would be great to catch up. I am usually away the week around August 15th and for about 10 days around Christmas and New Year, usually up to Jan 6, but other than that, save for long weekends and short trips, I am here and should not be going anywhere in the foreseeable future. And if you should need or want to get any tips regarding the Italian places I mentioned (Verona, Venice, and Milan), by all means let me know; I've been to Verona once but remember it quite well, have been to Venice a few times, and lived in Milan for a year and a half

On a totally unrelated subject... are you watching Game of Thrones by chance? It seems as if everyone is crazy for it, and I have neither read the books nor seen a single episode. I did get curious enough at one point to have found and read plot summaries online but was not sufficiently drawn to it. A big part of it is that I have a mental block on magic; the moment I stumble on dragons and witches my brain shuts off. But also it seemed too violent and kind of too shades-of-grey, both in terms of the characters' pervasive moral ambiguity and in the EL James gratuitous smut sense. Not sure if I am missing out on something good... what is your take on it
