Vorrei potesse non finire mai [06 Jan 2006|11:58pm] [ mood | anxious ] [ music | Negramaro - Estate ] Things to look forward to at home: 10. Carpet... who the fuck puts marble flooring in a bedroom, its as cold as fuck and if you drop something it will break. 9. Burritos... the only mexican restaurant in Rome is overpriced and named the cockroach in spanish? uh i think i'll pass. 8. Mild Winter... its fucking freezing here. 7. My bed... the bed i'm sleeping on is basically borrowed from a prison. 6. Indian Food... I would kill you for Naan and Curry. 5. Thai Food... yellow curry is basically the best food in existence. 4. Movies... I didn't know Jake Gyllenhaal spoke Italian?? 3. The Dollar... exchange rates are the bane of my bank account. 2. English... sure it doesn't sound as cool, but its the only language I'm any good at, and let me just say I rock at speaking English. 1. Everyone... I miss you guys. I'm sad to leave Italy, but this list confirms for me that there are reasons I should be glad to go home. 3 days... P.S. i'm enjoying ellipsis... 3 bricks| you're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back

this thing everyone´s doing [23 Sep 2005|02:32pm] [ mood | blank ] LJ Interests meme results astoria: the cool band that felix introduced me too, and that was so much fun to sing along to on the way back from nickel, nickel calvin and hobbes: only the best comic ever diablo ii: third best video game of all time, it took over my life during winterbreak my freshman year in college existentialism: only the best philosophy ever, most likeley added after I took philosphy 7 and decided this jets to brazil: great band, sweet avenue is one of my favorite songs of all time, their last cd though gets to religious modest mouse: shouldn´t this be obvious? I added them after i read about them somewhere. They had a song about Orange Julii, or Oranges Julius, or Orange Juliuses whichever spelling you prefer, and that won me over. The moon and antartica is a cd that rules physics: From highschool when I loved physics, then came physics H7A and i realized i didn´t care that much sim city: Sim City is the best game of all time. I played the original on my SNES in 3rd grade, my mom played with me. When Sim City 2000 came out, we had to upgrade our Mac LCIII computer to 8 rams up from 4. Our computer was blazin then. ted rall: Funniest political cartonnist of all time the strokes: solid band, although i haven´t listened to them recently Enter your LJ user name, and 10 interests will be selected from your interest list. 1 brick| you're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back

Detriot, New York, and LA, but i'm stuck in the UK [17 Sep 2005|12:41am] [ mood | anxious ] [ music | planet funk ] I am leaving on a plane very soon, so obviously instead of packing i am updating this thing. Well here we go... ( Roman pictures, with captions ) 2 bricks| you're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back

time is racings towards us [16 Sep 2005|12:37am] [ mood | awake ] [ music | Mulan ] strange how the one constant in the world is.... furniture. I'm sitting typing this entry on the same chairs that are in Louis' dining room, except now i'm on the other side of the planet. That messes with my mind. Besides furniture there are tests and how i would rather recite song lyrics on aim than study, also update my livejournal. I've drank two cans of Coca-Cola Light, hmm they aren't sitting right, i think because they have about 3 calories each, they aren't causing the amount of cancer i crave from diet coke. I'm leaving for Barcelona and Madrid on saturday, it should be the bomb. In la discoteca alla ocho de la manana. That's the only spanish phrase i remember from my 4.5 years of spanish wtf is happening, its like i can only fit one other language in at a time. Luckily Nathalie and Mel speak spanish (hopefully still) and so we won't feel as gimp as we do in Italy. I'm reading a book entitled "Another bullshit night in suck city", its basically the best title of all time, and although it took me awhile to get used to his style, its starting to live up to its title. Also its a memoir and the author is a straight male, which seems rare, although i just read a part that definatly has queer subtext. For some reason i have this resolve to read more, lets see how long it lasts. Brokebackmountain won the Venice film fesitval, i feel like somehow i should have gone and seen it, but i don't think that's possible. The new coheed&cambria cd comes out in 5 days, i want it so bad, well i should make it, if you believe. Much love to all the new friends from Roma, especially Nathalie aka my human canvas during Italian and Patty scenester lesbian extrodinaire.

Like my fathers come to pass... [25 Aug 2005|09:58am] For some reason Italy is obessesed with Green Day and United Colors of Bennington, I will get to the bottom of this. ( More pictures from Rome ) 3 bricks| you're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back

This is the next to last song [13 Aug 2005|11:13pm] [ mood | bored ] [ music | bjork ] Hello everyone, as you may know, I am leaving for Italy is as few as 8 days. I am probably going to want to e-mail all of you with updates of my activities, so you should leave a comment with your e-mail address or tell me it somehow so i can add you to my as of yet unrealized list of e-mails. 4 bricks| you're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back

Did I mention that FoxTrot RULES [26 Jul 2005|12:21am] [ mood | impressed ] [ music | Green Day ] I hope this keeps up all week. In other news i downloaded the last episode of this season of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Oh my god, it was the best fucking episode of anything of all time. God that show is so good. Tonight I saw pagent of the masters, it was pretty rocking, except they did mostly American artwork, which mostly sucks. But it was still amazing, i still don't know how they do it. 2 bricks| you're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back

ew, can we please roll that up? [11 Apr 2005|06:59pm] [ mood | mellow ] [ music | somebody told me that melody has mono ] Yesterday i got a tiger's blood snow cone, i was seven again and it was delicious. I went to a cathedral and the mass was in spanish, i wanted to be able to speak spanish and be religous. I ate pancakes and french toast at La Note, it was so good, i got coffee so i could use the cute sugar cubes, they were out of crouissants and I died inside. We made a make-out chart, now that Melody has mono all the hard work has finally paid off. I love and hate italian, i love and hate EAP, I love and hate school, I love and hate berkeley. But mostly i love, Alex out. you're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back

Look out of any window. [13 Feb 2005|11:01pm] [ mood | contemplative ] [ music | grateful dead (freaks and geeks inspired) ] This semester has gone better than expected, doing less homework and going to more parties, and making more friends, than i expected. I can remember not being able to wait to go to Italy, now I feel melancholy about leaving Berkeley. I'm still excited as shit though. I love romantic, semigoth, crazy, random, intense, non-sensical, flowing literature written by my new favorite author Akal Gruneberg. So good, i photocopied the novella and bound it with sage string from the bus, it must have been fate. 1 brick| you're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. [03 Feb 2005|02:49am] [ mood | crazy ] [ music | tool ] just because everyone else seems to be updating their journal so will I. I'm tired and i haven't been doing homework. I like my new friends rachel and luiz. I like my old friends, scott, mel, and laura. I want to go to Europe and never come back, that is my plan, maybe i will just live in europe for a semester that i am taking off. Hopefully i can convince melody to do it with me (i know she wants to). maybe soon i will be Barcelona Bound... you're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back

not listening to reason doesn't mean you have faith [14 Dec 2004|02:20am] [ mood | tired ] [ music | Straylight run ] Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? is awesome, what a great game, also honorable mention goes to the more advanced Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego? Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego, is such a cool cartoon, not the gameshow but rather the cartoon, you know the one where the beginning has Carmen jumping off the Statue of Liberty. Yeah it rules, apparently you can watch TV on yahoo, and they have it, all you have to do is sit through a minute and a half of Lego Commericals, and considering how much commericials they have on TV it is a good deal. In Conclusion i want to be just like Carmen Sandiego when I grow up. Finals have started, I can tell because the library is crowded. Hopefully i don't fail. 5 bricks| you're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back

[03 Nov 2004|06:58pm] [ mood | crappy ] [ music | emo ] I give up on america, it sucks, everyone that voted for bush needs to die. I want to go to Italy right now, or move to Spain, the democratic socialists there are my hero. I don't think i can live in this dam.country 3 bricks| you're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back

take a chance with me [22 May 2004|04:16pm] [ mood | drained ] [ music | sunny day real estate ] moving out really sucks, its dusty and full of boxes, and i have to do it all today. Yesterday i finsihed my first year of college, that was pretty cool. I'm going to miss everyone who left, but hopefully i wil see all of them this summer, i'm also looking forward to seeing everyone from home. But i won't be back until july 2nd :0( Good news everyone, Courtney won the democratic election to become führer of ERC student council. 4 bricks| you're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back
