The subject of this entry is taken directly from my friend's away message. Now, I've put aside the atrocious display against the USA and hoped I would support Italy (my home for the next year) for the remainder of the World Cup. Yes, I cheered for them against the Czechs, but I cannot help but feel that they did indeed dive to get the last minute ( Read more... )

I had forgotten what an absolutely amazing movie "La Vita È Bella" is. Albeit sad at the end, it's an extremely masterful work and a spectacular performance by Roberto Benigni ( Read more... )

I know I haven't written in a day or two, but honestly, there's nothing to report. Work from 12 til whenever tomorrow, work from 12 til whenever Sunday, and maybe some movies and World Cup in between. I may even just go to bed now.

Pace.

Wow, I can check off "going to work drunk from the night before" off on my list of things to never, ever even considering doing ever again. Last night I was watching The Matador--which I've wanted to see forever and was not disappointed--and I was throwing back the tastiest of margaritas because they were simply delicious! Everyone else decided ( Read more... )

Aside from the insane heat and humidity that broiled alive anyone who ventured outside any building serviced by God's greatest gift to mankind--air conditioning, not fire, Prometheus--today was rather uneventful. Oh wait, Guest wireless now works. You see, on top of missing keys, locks that don't work, no air conditioning in Jewett, missing ( Read more... )

Wow. Decent day of WC, great Henry goal, and a decent day playing with the URSI crew too. But damn, Almost Famous was a bad choice. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the movie with its amazing soundtrack. But not only does it get me down about the state of music today, but also the general mediocrity of everyday life. I know life is not all glamor, but ( Read more... )

I spend the day on the couch with my Ghana house and found myself delighted by the Ghana game in which they destroyed the Czechs, but appalled by not only our red cards in the US match, but then my italian friend having the audacity to suggest that the USA was being too physical--RUGBY she called it. I love you Claudia, but gli Azzurri were as ( Read more... )

I hate to bitch and moan, so let me just cover Flaherty by saying that it's just more of the same ridiculous crap, but having spent as little time as possible directly with the puttana-fascista, it was tolerable today. The late night phone calls about keys not working in Jewett gets tiring, mais c'est la vie ( Read more... )

Nope. Still pissed off. I went home and started Gone With the Wind, but about an hour and half in, I was still too pissed to enjoy the classic for the first time. So I got up, checked my email and found out that I had to go get the missing Jewett keys in 15 minutes. So I go over on my time to do this for these satanic people only to have her have ( Read more... )

I forgot to write an entry yesterday. Between Flaherty Film heads getting here yesterday, URSI soccer, and grocery shopping, I guess I forgot. This next week and a half could very well be sheer pandemonium. Good golly I hope not. I really don't have anything exciting to report here as yesterday was busy but dull, and today has yet to start. I ( Read more... )
