Monkey See, Monkey Do

First: there is no real reason for the post to be named as such. Just couldn't think of anything better to use, and that was the first thing to pop into my head.
So what did I do today... classes... basketball again... wine... more wine...
Then... the group ended up watching the Italian Job. The 'Job' takes place in Venice, so I got a sneak peek, so to speak, of the city I'm going to be visiting this weekend.
I really won't have anything fun or interesting to say until Friday. I'm sorry guys! On the bright side, I've made it super simple to comment on my posts: all you need to do is hit the "Comment" button and then type away.

Part of me wants to go into a psychological discussion with myself about things that have been going on around the Villa, but I can't find myself in the right state of mind to be able to do it clearly. I'd really love to hear from you guys, even if it's a friendly reminder or some advice. I always like to hear from familiar people.

Tomorrow I have another trip into town for class -- so I might actually have some interesting stories and pictures tomorrow. Anywho...

God bless!

Hmmmmmm

Just another random image. I sometimes wish I were a pirate... or at least a pirate like Captain Jack...
As you can probably tell, nothing really interesting happened today. Another five hours of Italiano. And basketball. So I guess my original statement was kind of a lie. Got eight guys (including me) to play. Kind of wish I had followed through with it into high school, but you live and you learn. I got my jump hook going and I played considerably well since I haven't played for over a month. Did I mention that the rim is bent? And the ball we used was a few sizes too small? Made the game interesting, that's for sure. My team ended up winning two of three very close games. Other results were a blister on my left foot and a jammed left pinky finger. Something so small shouldn't be able to hurt as badly as it does.

Came back, took a shower, went to dinner. Fun fact: I had stuffed peppers for dinner tonight and they tasted exactly like Nani's. Benissimo. I guess what they say is true, home cooking is the best cooking. Miss my family's Italian food-- kind of seems like blasphemy since I'm living in Italy, doesn't it?
I have never heard a better description of myself...
So as you can tell, I'm just relaxing now. Probably should be planning for Venice.
Like how I did that?
Combined Pirates of the Caribbean and How I Met Your Mother.
I can hear your applause.
*bows*
But that'd be productive.
Uhm. Yea...
To some, this chain of photos/video will not make any sense.
Others who know me will get a good laugh from it.
So...

I think this is where I say: And that's how it was.

O wait. Wrong sign off.

God bless!
