italian word for lewd

this is a two-part entry. the first is hilarious. the second is my class schedule.

last night i ate at jamal's house. jamal lives with a grandmama named franca. with franca lives a lady named giuliana, 30ish, who is working in padova. this weekend, her fidanzato (long term boyfriend), massimiliano (maximilian, sweet name) came to visit. he is one of the funniest people i have ever met.

first off, giuliana is a little tiny pale lady, she weighs just about 100 pounds and is pretty pale. she's funny but in a quiet i'm-smarter-than-you-and-you-don't-even-understand-me-when-i-make-fun-of-you sort of way. so we like her a lot. massimiliano, on the other hand, is pretty big, something like 200 pounds, really dark and hairy, you know the type. so first off they look like a strange couple. i knew we were in for an interesting dinner when he started smacking her butt.

we started eating, and popenews was on the tv, so he asked us about our religions. then i asked him and he told me he was a catholic atheist. far from the strangest part of the evening.

i don't really remember the order of the madness, so i'll just start with this quote: "that movie makes my balls sag." i asked for clarification. he stood up, bent over, and cupped his hands between his knees, and said that the movie made his balls move down there. that the movie we watched at school, the leopard, made his balls sink to knee-level, but the lord of the rings, which jamal and i are watching tonight, made his balls sink all the way to the ankles. which is all well and good - but what the f does it mean? well apparently it means a film is boring. or maybe you can use it about a book. or even a weblog......................

did that do it?

just kidding

anyway, so on to other weird things. m talked a lot about how scrawny g was. he kept picking up her wrist and examining it. then he said that the only fatty thing on her was her nose (which is not actually that big). so he kept rubbing her nose for good luck, so he says. and he also would lean his shoulder down by her head, because according to him, she gets tired of holding that nose up and needs somewhere to rest it sometimes.

not lastly, but the last in my memory, he said that he was always afraid of hurting her when they were sleeping together. and then he said that written across her back was "use with caution." at which point jamal and i started blushing and franca started hooting and howling for about a minute. so that's about all of that guy. but man am i looking forward to a couple weekends from now when he comes back.

oh, i remembered something else. jamal was going to make a phone call to a certain lady friend back in the US. m asked jamal if they were...you know...and then made a kissy face. jamal and i both answered no. he asked if jamal was trying to...you know....and he made the kissy face again. we said no. he asked if the girl wanted to kissy face and we said no. then he asked why the hell jamal was calling her. then he did this thing where he picked up the phone, and he made up a little dialogue.

j: hi. i'm in italy

girl: oh. cool. (bored face)

j: it's nice here. i like it.

girl: great. (sighing.)

jamal: it's pretty.

girl: uh huh (falling asleep)

jamal:how's school?

girl: fine (head on the table)

and so it went for a bit. man was he funny. the end of that dinner.

as for my schedule, here it is:

M/W 9:30-11 current macroeconomic issues (writing intensive) (bleh)

T/Th 10-11:30 Euro Intellectual history (awesome)

11:30-1 Open economy macroeconomics (italian professor - maybe cool)

1-2:30 Contemporary continental philo (cool)F: Intellectual discussion section at some point.

Also an italian independent study and maybe a german ucollege night class. woohoo.

basically, somehwere between 13 and 19 units.
