Buongiorno, principesse e principi!

mood: Recovering from a good movie
music: strings
random word: l’oscurità

Just watched La Vita è Bella with my family. Wow. I'd seen it before, but wow. If you haven't seen it and don't mind a good little cry, go watch it.
I'm thinking in Inglesiano right now, which is funky. Some phrases come in Italian, the rest is coming in English. I think I'll be able to handle that whole Language School thing. I really think I can. I'm still trying to figure out how to work my external hard drive, but I am able to play music again, which is good. I figure that I'll keep my Italian and classical music on my computer for easy access these next few weeks and keep the rest on the hard drive. And maybe some Great Big Sea... just 'cause.
H'anyway, I've been a busy little bee recently! Last Wednesday I took a bus into New York City to see Cirque du Soleil's "Corteo" which was incredible! Lots of talented people in that company, who have absolutely no good sense. I swear, I could have put every single act on the "List of Bad Ideas". But they were as spectacular as they were dangerous, so in the end, I didn't really mind too terribly.
I spent Thursday hanging out with Laura at her house, and we met up with Sid to have dinner and then go swimming. Lots of fun. Anyone who has a pool: I highly recommend the Aquabar. It's genius. Christyn and Michelle are also tubulariffic. Christyn and I are so Myspace friends now.
Then Friday I hopped back on to a train, then another bus to get back home (eventually). There were more than one's fair share of crazy people in line, but I made it on to the bus I wanted. Unfortunately, said bus arrived in Framingham an hour and a half late. Fortunately, the woman behind me was not a native speaker of English, so whenever she got a phone call, I would try to hypothesize what language she was speaking. It wasn't a Romance language, and I don't think it was German oScandinavianan. There was an abundance of "sh" sounds. She also frequently used words that sounded like "da" and "dobra". I'm not sure if it's Russian or not, but it certainly sounded Slavic.
Today I went to return some shirts and buy new sneakers, which are snazzay, in my humble opinion. Took me about ten minutes to browse through the shoes, select them, try them on, and decide to get them. Take THAT female gender!
Skot is coming to Southborough tomorrow, which should be exciting. There aren't a lot of trains on Sundays, so he probably won't get in until 5:30ish, but I'm still eagerly anticipating getting just a little bit more time with him before I go up to Vermont and he goes back to Tennessee.
Ooh, and in case you were wondering, the last post that I made is from the old blog. Laura and I were playing with the Babel Fish translator at Altavista.com, and I took the circle story, translated it into Chinese, then back to English, then into Korean, then back to English, then Japanese, then English again. This, my friends, is a perfect example of getting lost in the translation.
And just for kicks, here's another!
"Thanks Is large, Kevin! I also love Roksana, but they did not ask me by Russian names, so I think that I will be simply "beki". Desire immediately you it will arrive in Midlberi for the fact that I can wave to you! :) Beki"
Baci e abbraci,
~Kevin
