skirting the issue of whether you should pepper your university with advertisements promoting your university to people who already attend..... we can all agree that there is no reason tell people how to get to the university after you have already arrived.

italy's only major corporation is fiat... but there is a gelateria on every street corner.... this makes me think the entire country is run on ice-cream.... (mafia controlled confections???)... but it still doesn't explain why i ordered two 2-Euro cups of gelato every day, but i have a hard time splurging for a $2 cone of Izzy's Ice-cream in st paul. hey. did anyone see that car just go by? it was red. COOL!

rome is many things, but elevator-friendly is not one of them. to reach the 5th floor of our building, 4 bags and 3 people had to manually open 2 doors for 1 ride in a 1/2 sized phonebooth that traveled at 1/3 the speed of small town news... but that was just the beginning of my complaints...
riding down by myself, the elevator stopped to picked up an elder-granny. not knowing cramped-elevator-etiquette, i scrunched against the corner. she jibbered away. i pointed up and down (trying to explain elevators through her senility) and then I motioned that I was going DOWN. she jibbered more. i pointed down again, frustrated with her elementary understanding of motion. she just kept jabbering....
unable to take it anymore, i left the elevator figuring i could walk the remaining couple flights.... only to realize we were on the ground level and that i had just wasted 2 minutes of her soon-to-terminate life....

i hate making people fill out stupid surveys about themselves, but i love the idea of visual dna [a string of pictures revealing your preferences/personality].
maybe it's all the cold medicine talking, but i'm posting a link to the survey anyway... at home sick.... slept all afternoon.... need a nap soon...

i couldn't fall asleep because my arm had the hiccups.... i moved it, i shook it, i rolled over, but the muscle continually twitched at average hiccup speeds until i fell asleep.... i guess this is the cross those of us with rapidly growing muscles need to bear...
