Yummo

May 20th, 2009

Had a great cooking class today that lasted 5 hours in a home that was built in the 1500’s by a person that makes her own wine and has her own roaring winery business.  We made homemade pastas, tiramasu, and eggplant.  its 10 hours later now from when we started, and I’m still full.  Obviously when i catch up on my journals, youll see.

Ciao Firenze

May 19th, 2009

I know that I owe write ups on the Cinque Terre still, and then Florence.  Hopefully I can accomplish that on the train today.  Its our last day in Florence.  We catch the 5pm train to Montalcino tonight.  Last night we had a great dinner that Mom commented would be one of the half dozen meals that she remembers for the rest of her life.

The Bridge Of Lame

May 16th, 2009

It is bad enough when they put scaffolding up on ancient buildings, but when they do and then they plaster it with advertisement wallpaper, that just sucks.  The famous bridge of sighs was not only wallpapered on both sides, but also above.  Below is the picture I took, and beneath that is what it is supposed to normally look like.

Venezia

May 12th, 2009

I have about 5 or 6 posts already typed out, just no internet to post them.  I am in Venice right now getting lost.  I think I will have a chance once I reach the Cinque Terre tomorrow to do some posting.  Much love.

Yes Man

May 8th, 2009

May 7th, or is it the 8th?

On the plane, watching the movie “Yes Man” and for some reason I started crying at the part when he is on the ledge and they are singing Third Eye Blind.

We should be landing in approx an hour.  I hope and pray that me finding the right train, and then me finding lisa goes smoothly!

From Penny Arcade comes this comic that is horribly insensitive, but terribly funny.

Five For Friday

April 17th, 2009

mspac2Today Chaunce, Joey and I did the nickel arcade for lunch, with a quick jaunt to Jamba Juice.  I once again miraculously destroyed Joey at Marvel vs. Capcom 2.

But then my real triumph was on the Ms. Pacman game.  I don’t think I lost a life till, maybe, the 8th level?  I am not sure, but I think it was the best I have ever done.  Not sure how decent my score is, but I felt like I dominated.
