Not sure if I said this last night, but I’m taking today off…There’s a bit of snow but since I have lots of holidays I’m just gonna stay home and relax!

There’s a big storm…daylight savings has made it dark (tho we did that over a week ago – before the states)…It’s supposed to rain all week…I’m going to throw a party!
Can I complain about the cold while it’s still summer?
It’s rainy…it’s cold. I think the leaves have turned. I almost wore a coat today. It’s way chilly in the morning. I need to buy some gloves soon.
I’m almost done with the books I bought in Munich last June. I’m currently on a Nick Hornby book, and it’s the last…
Luckily I’ll be back in Munich in 8 days. I’m excited to hit the hugendubel and do a bit more shopping 🙂
See how clever I am. I turned “eating” into an adjective to describe thosehungry angry verbs. 😉
So today I was awoken by thunder. I was leaving as the rain arrived and it turned into the storm of the century (or thereabouts). By the time I got to work I was soaked. My clothes could not have possibly held any more water.
Like a lot of coastal towns there are drainage problems, so it was a looooong slow ride avoiding traffic and standing water. My favourite part was when a car coming the other direction hit a gigantic puddle and I wasn’t expecting it, but a massive wall of water hit me square in the face 🙂 It was awesome!
I was fully prepared to sit in wet clothes all day, but the Italians are so doting that someone made a phone call and brought me a change of clothes and shoes (despite my repeated objections – they just sort of ignore me now when I tell them I’m fine). I sat in someone elses shoes (but no socks) for most of the day.
My feet hurt.
That’s gotta be one of the most insulting questions one can be asked…I’m pretty sure there was a question mark at the end based on inflection. She was either giving me a chance to defend myself or she meant ”You are bored?”.
I guess it was a fair question. I really haven’t done anything since going to Rome in December. That was two and a half months ago. Fair question indeed. Just to prove I’m not boring I might change my theme again. 🙂
Strange though…This week I have a dinner party tomorrow night, a concert on Friday, and another dinner at the Mexican restaurant on Saturday (still searching for good mexican food in Europe). Holy crap…three nights in a row might make my head go bang. I’ll have to pace my socialism-ness over 3 nights. Not sure I’m capable anymore. Bit out of practice.
At least Cory Feldman is still alive eh? Guess those reunion movies are out the window…I guess they could still do ”Stand by me 2…STAND HARDER!!!” (btw partially filmed in Lebanon Oregon).
Perplexed by the weather this week. People in the states think the weathermen are wrong, but here it’s even less accurate. Microclimate indeed 🙂
I just wanted to tag “weather” (Matt’s mom: what’s a tag?).
I just wanted to tag Matt’s mom 😉
I’m finding I’m a bit reckless on the Vespa. Hopefully I will figure out how to ride it before I crash it 😀
This is epitomized by the fact that I have to look for the rear brake everytime I need to stop. I haven’t really memorized where it is yet…
Booked to Frankfurt for March 30th-April 12th. Should have cleared it with the boss first, but RyanAir (me: you suck RyanAir!) only had one seat left at their stupidly ridiculous price.
Made it home and back via the Vespa. It was really cold this morning and I wasn’t properly dressed. I have some old cotton gloves with holes in 3 of the fingers and I just decided today that they don’t work very well. In my head the ride would take about 2 minutes, but with the weather it felt like 2 hours. Will hopefully remedy this by next winter…
Added to to do list…
Also made a note to self not to use slang from high school as not everyone will understand me…
“I’m just gonna chill at home tonight”.
For me, watering the plants means pushing them out from under the covered part of the balcony to the uncovered part where the rain will fall on them.
I knew rain was forecast and usually when that’s the case I push them out. They get too much water and then go a couple weeks without water when I push them back under the covered part…
(I give that story a 0.0)
Had a flu for a couple days this week. I found out today that if you call in sick in Italy you’re supposed to go to the Dr. that day.
In DE you don’t need to go to the Dr until you’re going to miss your third day of work. This means I have to go to the Dr. after the fact and get a note. I’m still contemplating just using a vacation day because sitting at the Drs office for a couple hours doesn’t sound very fun.
(I give that story a 0.1)
It might snow in the next day or two.
(…can.barely……zzzzz)
Can’t say no to chicks with banjos…
I guess the big triathlon is the european championship or something. I think if they put the swimming part at the end I would be much more inclined to be interested. If there was a chance that someone was going to cramp up and drown (or at least need a dramatic rescue) it would be more exciting.
It’s been very very hot and humid all week. Thunderstorms occur pretty much every day which cools things down for about 2 and half minutes, then it’s back to just being sticky again. This much humidity is not a good recipe for healthy sleeping.
The Italians also seem to be scared of the rain (like the Germans). Lightning abounds. I wonder if the smog will go away…
