i think my feet might fall off

---

today i endured 8 gristling hours of sight seeing. this is a lot tougher than it sounds. i'm sure i walked well over 10 miles. that both astounds me and makes me feel proud of myself. man, i'm hardcore.

so i saw the forum, the capitoline hill, the palantine hill, the circus maximus, the coleseo , and a lot of other stuff. it was pretty hot, and all the pale kids got sunburns. thankfully, i fake-baked hardcore style last spring, and i've still got enough tan to prevent any sort of skin injury .

eh, i'm afraid this entry will not be very lively. i'm soo tired.

last night i made dinner again. i cooked some stuffed pasta stuff, and homemade mashed potatoes and deviled eggs. this was my first time making the second two things, and while i think i will be able to improve my potatoes, the deviled eggs were seriously about the best i've ever had. i feel so accomplished. soon i will be making paella, empandas, and maybe chicken curry. oh, the possibilities are ENDLESS.

oh, i also get electrocuted in my kitchen now. this is pretty bad, since i usually spend at least an hour in there everyday. cest la vive.

karly--i will get to work on those everyday pictures asap. there are lots that i want to take, but am hesitant b/c i fear the scorn of being viewed as a stupid american tourist. there is actually a little more dignity in taking pictures of the forum than of crazy italian people doing things that seem normal to them.

no pictures today b/c i'm low on time and don't have my cable thingy, but i took about 100 today and will probably take a lot tomorrow. we're leaving tomorrow morning at 7 to go to pompeii, you know, the place with mt. vesuvius and all the dead people and stuff. that should be interesting. so, prepare yourself for a massive amount of photos on monday or so.

i always try to remember funny stories to relate, but then i get tired and forget. so i apologize, my livejournal is much more amusing, but alas, only a handful of people are allowed access to it.

i wear my watch while i'm cooking so i can time stuff, and now my watch stinks like garlic. i just smelled my wrist. it does too.

yes i'm too tired to continue with this. later, my loves.

ps--cole-i have to read angels and demons for class actually. although it is the type of book that i scorn with all of my soul , its kind of absorbing .

Rain drops keep falling on my head
