See Lola Run

An Italian-American citizen who is not very much of either but lives in Rome, anyway, and is not really sure where she's going next or if she's going at all.

Observatory

Observations:

1. Now, in both the morning and evening commute, the sun hits the bus directly between the eyes. If the bus driver is nice, he will pull down the shade for us. If not, by November I will be blind
2. I like to sit in the front seat next to the bus driver on the express bus. Upside: the bus driver almost always wants to chat. Downside: the bus driver is not always interesting. I also acknowledge that if the bus driver stops short, the chances of me ending up splattered on the dashboard are quite high.
3. I fall asleep every night before 10:30PM.
4. I never see my friends. Most of my friends don’t even know I’m in the city.
5. My sister Jessica has become my best friend.
6. 25% of my paycheck goes to taxes.
7. 99% of my sanity goes to hell the second Monday morning begins.
8. I like my job, anyway.

More to come.

Yesterday, a line of 50+ police cars paraded down 5th Avenue, sirens going and blocking off traffic. That took about 10 years off of my life. I still don't know what it was about.
