budino nella tua faccia

well, i can't say that a whole lot has happened during the last week. except that time i went to a bingo hall for no real good reason (other than that it was a rainy sunday night and i needed something to do with justin horn and his roommate in england, though actually from oregon, james) and then i won 100 euro. that is, 135 dollars. so i guess i can talk about that for a while:

well actually i'll start with the rest of justin's visit. he showed up on saturday morning, we walked around padova, then went to venice to meet james and also some other american-students-studying-in-england that justin had met on the train from vienna. so we all met up, i walked them around venice, we split up, came back, saturday ended.

sunday justin and james took themselves to venice, did the museum thing, did the buy a cheap umbrella to protect themselves from the rain but the umbrella decides to turn inside out a lot thing, then came back, and we went out to eat at a place near my house called "groovy music pizza." inside they do have, indeed, groovy music and pizza. so james ordered a pizza called the fat ass, which had ham, sausage, and hot dog. then, walking home, we decided to stop at the bingo. we went in, had a seat, the waitress (yes, there were waitresses that ran around taking people's money in exchange for bingo cards between rounds) gave us some cards, and realized we were american and so stuck around to help us out. pretty soon she was saying "damn it, damn it, damn it" (in english) then she took our cards, ran over to a little computer, punched in some numbers, and made me go sit down with her. then she said to me that i only needed one more number to get the bingo. then she said "fuck you, call bingo." and i said "huh?" and she repeated herself, so i called bingo. then someone brought me 100 euro on a plate. i took it. justin and james and i played a few more rounds, justin won a line (and 15 euro with that), then we left after 5 rounds. definitely came out ahead. though i guess that will make up for next time when i lose.

other than that, not much...just reading some cool books and some uncool ones. i am probably not quantitatively keeping up with adam, but i bet my stuff is cooler. also i went to see a movie today called "the love manual" because someone told me it would be good, and it was atrocious, and i'd rather not speak of it. and...yup. nothing too crazy other than the bingo. no old man beating me up in a train station after eating his finger or anything. maybe if i go somewhere this weekend we'll all get lucky and that will happen.
