You’re so beautiful…like a tree

So I think my big cultural contribution to Europe is spreading music wherever I go. Today I tried to give Matteo all the music I happened to have at work. He hadn’t even heard of Flight of the Conchords…pfftttttt. DUDE!

so my apologies to those who know who this is…but for the Italians here you go!

and recycling is not part of the foreplay, but it is still very important 🙂

and what guy hasn’t put a wig on one of his mates and spooned him…

A live clip…

She has a rash…

…noone even mentioned my profiteroles…

hey, two point OH!

@Eric! I was hanging out at the mailbox today pondering my lack of mail and then decided to look for names similar to mine on the other mailboxes. I was thinking maybe the mail person is illiterate…Turns out I found your letter in another box. The name on it was ABSOLUTELY nothing like mine, but hey…I noted one postbox with a bunch of junk mail in it. Took a closer look and there is your letter. I couldn’t fit my index finger in it, so I had to get some tweezers and do some minor surgery. I miraculously (I only use miraculously because MacGyver-Y isn’t really a word yet) retrieved the letter.

That letter box hadn’t been opened in a while I guess. Since the building is mostly used for vacation rentals there was noone home at that home (?). Otherwise I assume the rightful owner would have noted the poorly delivered letter and put it in my box…

anyways…I may have just admitted to a crime, but really Italy it’s your own damn fault. If you could deliver mail properly I wouldn’t have been forced into this life of crime. There are some other letters in the box, but I can’t tell if they’re intended for me or not…So I’ll just leave them until next summer when the owner of that flat comes for a visit.

…and thanks 2,0 😉

A response of some sort…

Mostly I’m just angry because I had to find pics and movies instead of watching teh movie I wanted to watch.

You can’t attempt that rant and then discount Amy Winehouse…nor can you discriminate against men. Well I guess on your page you can do whatever you want, but not here 😉

How are you defining “made it”?

Headline:

Lady Gaga, Susan Boyle top UK Pop Charts in 2009

and

that’s no lady!!!

Madonna “made it” as a youngster, but still seems to be around (I only know this cuz she seems to be at teh pub often)…

and since they’re “from” Portland now they get two..

and she might be an evil robot overlord, and she’s not ugly…but since we have no standards tonight 😉

and for die past half hour I’ve just been watching Pixies videos 🙂 now back to whatever the heck I was talking about…

Oh yeah Kim Deal…worshipped by millions…

I think Francis lives in Eugene now, so they get like 7 videos…

talk about unmarketable…Frank Black as rock star…I don’t see it.

They’re such kids here…

I love teh Pixies…

I may have lost my mojo or just forgotten what I was on about… 🙂

Italy as homeless paradise…

After work tonight PierPaolo took us out for a drink to celebrate the purchase of his Porsche (or similar)…
I mentioned this before, but in Italy you get some superb appetizers when you go out for a drink. At the end of one drink we had all gone to the food table twice (or maybe more)…seriously, if I was homeless I would just beg all day for 4€ and go buy one drink at one of these clubs. The food is excellent! When I’m homeless I’m just gonna learn 3 songs on my guitar and hang out in front of this place…

Cheers Luca (frankfurt Luca) for sending me a few more pics from Rome. I’m putting them here…

and got this at work (nice use of company resources)…

Pakistan hates me…

So as I was walking home from the pub tonight (it’s a really REALLY long walk) I see the kid that works (maybe he doesn’t work there, but he hands out there) at the Kebap shop near my flat. Seeing as I’m a regular there I give him a nod as I’m walking towards him.
He says ”who are you” (valid question I guess)
me: joe
Him: Who are you?
me: joe…like guiseppi
Him: Who are you?…come stai…
me: looks puzzled (cuz I just can’t switch between italian and english like I can switch between Deutsch and english)
Him: no l’italiano?
me: no
Him: who are you? (he’s looking embarrassed now)
me: mi chiamo???…Joe
Him: (giving up and looking embarrassed) hmmmmphh
me: (being confused)…ciao

I finish my really long walk home from the pub and realize when I’m in the elevator that he was trying to say ”how are you?”

Me: (in the elevator and now looking embarrassed) d’OH!!!!
I just remembered what come stai means 🙂 I’m an idiot…

Now I need to know what the rule is on showing your face around an establishment after you’ve embarrassed yourself – as in to avoid facing some kid…as in how many days do I have to wait until I can get a kebap again?
If I was a wise bloke I’d use that time to work on my l’Italiano 😉 ha!
