Brain Tumors and Fiber

So I read recently that cell phones have officially been linked to brain tumors. One of the only reasons all of us in this program are currently glad to be cut off from technology. The computer is all we have. It really isn't that bad, but I miss laying in my bed all day every Sunday and watching whatever trash chick-flick is on TBS. I think someone is sending me Kraft FF Zesty Italian Dressing this week, so my nerves should be calmed.

One interesting fact, fiber supply is slim pickings over here, so I supplement my diet every day with "Kellogg's Nice Morning." Although I think the motto should be altered to, "Nice Morning, Horrible Afternoon." But it gets the job done.
I cannot WAIT for the month of December to get here! I get to return to the land of FREEDOM for a month and while enjoying the wonderful conveniences of Target, Starbucks and WaWa, I also get to travel to NYC, DC and TX to see all the cats I've missed. Oh and only the single most amazing event ever on January 8th, which is Brett and Baker's wedding in the 757. Wedded bless coupled with a tasteful open bar. CAN'T WAIT.

Oh also, I lock my bedroom door whenever the maid is around the palazzo. Everyone judges me for this. I think I am being logical.


Little Post-Communist Tour

Below are a few pics from fall break where a few of us went to Prague, Budapest and Bratislava. It was tight. I will spare you the tedious details, but basically Prague will probably always be my favorite city, Budapest is always beautiful and Bratislava.. well.. it was very Slovakian; or maybe not, almost seemed like a mini-easten block Disney World, but no rides and no crowds.

Since I've been to Prague and Budapest before I did all my favorite things again [aka 5 story clubs, thermal baths, meat and potatoes, Pilsner Urquell, all the good stuff] and some new stuff, but in short, it was awesome to be out of Italy and back to the part of Europe I love the most. And best of all, cheap as hell. If you wanna hear more you're going to have to ask.
