i hate it when pretty people area waste.

now, ugly people? eh who cares...*








*not L-A-H-I-R-U

italy is making me sweet

its also making me the healthiest iìve ever been while being so unhealthy. i'm smoking at least 20 cigarettes a day, drinking 25 coffees, and sleeping maybe 4 hours a night, if that.

ahh how does it work?

who cares. don't ask, don't tell.


p.s. in terms of dressing wise, i literally look like corey every day.



p.p.s. i think that this corey will maybe think that is weird that i referenced him seeing as we're basically only amigos on them internets.

'so like...what are you doing, seeing, eating, wearing, any of that...no all of that. yes all of that. what is all of that?'

incomprehensible. completely and utterly incomprehensible that sentence (is what i would say if i thought that).

anyways, thanks for asking and especially (you know who you are) asking in that way.

so doing? what am i doing?

right now i'm doing so many things. i'm not exactly sure how much i can say because then nothing would be a surprise but here's a cryptic summary:











really this tells you nothing at all, but i think it's better that way.


what am i seeing? well, the alps are a stones throw away. so i see those.

fabrica looks like this:

whoa?


this is not something i've seen happen, but i bet it would. people are quite carefree here. shoes? wet feet? PAH!


this is the hallway that leads to the famed (famed to me) coffee machine. there are EIGHTEEN different options. incredible.


this is where i go to drink said coffee.


it took me a second but i think this is where i walk in everyday.

also i sit in a place called the church. its adorable. but very messy.

what else am i seeing....well last night i watched lost on the giant theater screen. that was amazing. as if that weren't good enough i also watched a good ol' fashioned witch burnin'! video to follow.*


what am i eating? pizza. twice! also some weird apple/pear hybrid. papple? aear?

gross no stop that.

i'm wearing the same thing i always wear but just the best things i wear. i told myself about 7 times while packing: you're going on a job interview for 2 straight weeks. best to look as such. i've yet to wear all of the eight shoes i brought. but i will. i'll be damned if i'm going to have lugged a second bag here solely devoted to shoes, cursing it the entire way only to let them sit in my room.

interesting sidenote: i've been told numerous times that i don't look like an american. is that good? i dont think i want that to mean something good. look at michelle obama.



simultaneously the embodiment of america AND fresh air.

so then what do i look like? so far i've only had one concrete response: a french girl.



oh cute! thanks!


so there's 'all that'. i hope that was something worth reading.

xx

p.s. chiara, are you reading this???? they say C'MON so much!! C'MON! i die every time.

i am here and working.

but what am i DOING?




same thing as usual. but here it is more because i am at a complete loss as what else there is to do...rather than pure procrastination.

all aboard!

leaving on a night plane

i just wanted to say that i've been slowly preparing all weekend. i will miss my friends and loved ones so very much.

i always feel so sad but so excited before going on trips. like reepicheep.




like a total nerd.

i'm going, going back, back to i-tali, i-tali

so ill be here until April 1st. PLEASE DO NOT text message or call me from now until then...not that I have a million people doing either of those things, but just saying. please, however do IM, BBM, EMAIL, SEND CARE PACKAGES, ETC.

miss you. already. i wonder what it will be like there?

happy birthday to my baby angel.

who will wife this girl down already!?! god damn it. here are just a few reasons why i love bianca:

1) her haaaaaaaaaaaaair

2) this twisty mashed potato dance move she does

3) she's very well traveled

4) she has the super whitest teeth ever

5) this vegan lasagna she made me one time. i literally almost had a brain melt down.

6) she's really the best when it comes to telling stories

7) she can build a bonfire

8) my one and only ever for karaoke

9) she really gets that i take my time to decide on adjectives

10) when she sort of half covers her mouth when she laughs, that is very funny

11) she knows so much about music it blows my mind

12) her voice is awesome

13) 'oh yes sure uh huh mmhmm yeah'

speaking of adorable couples that i love so much.

god they are something.

can't embed it but here are some lovely links!

one

two

three

amazing.

j love and j kens

i have to admit that i did say out loud: "Oh ew...j love what on earth..."

BUT

after reading what jamie kennedy had to say on carson daly's show, i have to say out loud: "wow what a really sweet and amazing pair they must be".

i've always adored jennifer love hewitt. i was an avid fan of kids incorporated and clearly the only girl you ever wanted to be on that show was love.

how amazing was this?



wowzers. kids incorporated was a drama? and WHAT is this song?

i'm off on a tangent now but i really like this.



i always hated that song (thanks to jesse) but i really love it so much now.

anyways here is what mr kennedy had to say about his relationship:

"We're more than dating ... we're more than in love."

"We have an intense connection," he said. Making a Twilight reference, he added, "She's my Bella. I don't want to bite her neck, but I want her to live."
Kennedy said Hewitt is "so talented. She can sing, she can dance, she's hilarious ... and hot since she was, like, 9."

He said the relationship came out of nowhere, adding that he had been "too busy" for love.

But "here's somebody that breathes life into you in a new way and makes you fuller and that's what she does to me!" he said of the actress.

"I'm in love, and I don't care!" he added. "Ryan, you knew off-the-air, because you said I seemed different to you ... it's amazing."

Of finding love, Kennedy said, "I thought something would happen in my 40s. Hollywood makes us on our own train, and it's like I have a co-conductor now."



hats off to you my friend. you are a bunny.

i want this dress.

but i don't think i can get past 'sequence' and be alright with giving this person my money.

i mean...basically this person should be killed for this.

wow. um, AMAZING

thanks eric wade!

dinochickens are following me.

exhibit a:




jonathan read this article to me on tuesday about dr. jack horner and his island of dr. mereau bullshit. i still wholeheartedly believe dr. jack horner (sat in a corner) is made up.

exhibit b:



im reading this bryson book and, i swear to god, i open the book to where i left off and what is the next paragraph about!!?!? none other than TITANUS WALLERI, a giant dinochicken that roamed the earth millions of years ago. ugh. disgusting.

exhibit c:

my horoscope this week:

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The closest modern relative of the Tyrannosaurus rex may be the chicken, says geneticist John Asara. He came to this conclusion after studying traces of tissue from a 68-million- year-old bone of the king of dinosaurs. I invite you to draw inspiration from this theory, Gemini. Try the following thought experiment. Envision a couple of monstrous influences from your past -- big bad meanies who hurt you or scared you. Imagine they were like Tyrannosaurus rexes back then. Close your eyes and see their faces glaring from the beast's skull. But then imagine that in the intervening months and years they have devolved and shrunk. Picture them now as clucking chickens pecking at seeds in the dirt. Can you see their faces at the top of their bobbing, feathery bodies?


WHAT THE FUCK. NO! I DO NOT WANT TO THINK ABOUT CHICKENS. p.s. is it obvious that i hate birds and love dinosaurs?

today i joined the brooklyn public library

and boy are my arms tired!

ill tell you, joining the library was maybe the saddest thing i've ever done. first of all the library itself is smaller than my apartment. second, it was lit by florescent lights!! it was practically brand new! libraries are supposed to look like this:





i ought to be able to use the words 'hallowed institution' when referring to it. dark wood, dust, low, preferably gas-powered light, tomb-like, 764 year old librarians scourging my presence in their cathedrals of knowledge...this is what libraries are about.

at the very least they could look like this:



...i guess.

this branch however, looked something like the bastard love child of a kinko's and the creepy, awful, downright enraged feeling i get from looking at this photograph:



ugh. damn it.

this whole 'no job' thing is what lead me here in the first place. i can definitely no longer afford my book addiction so i decided 'HEY! i'll just take advantage of the free programs out there!' yes...since applying for unemployment has been such a breeze...

i'm almost through with bill bryson and in the spirit of preparing for italy i've decided that my 'c' and 'd' ought to be calvino and dante. armed as i was with my new library card i was excited that my first checkouts were already decided! no blockbuster sydrome here*!!

oh but they did not have either. not surprised.


but you know what they did have??



does this book have two titles, or just a retard for an author? my bets are on the latter.



*blockbuster syndrome is what i call not knowing what you want to rent, eat, do and you end up spending hours in blockbuster, a restaurant, life trying to make up your mind by perusing every option that could possibly be available to you EVER.

it was all worth it...

i hope he's just gentle to michelle when he breaks it to her.

want whiter teeth?

obviously the answer is just to be a black person. its like wearing a yellow bathing suit. every skin will look tanner.

clearly the look im working on this summer is to be black and in a yellow bikini.

we all need dreams.






look how good i could look!
