AUGUST 25th brought new additions to my 'Italy is Everywhere' list. They are as follows:
#4 I went to a bookstore. I bought "Eat, Pray, Love." Now I will read about where I'd like to be.
#5 If that weren't enough, the first sentence of the first page says: "I wish Giovanni would kiss me." Did I miss something? I am pretty sure I haven't written my book on my Italian adventures yet...
#6 I am going to Cleveland this weekend so I can enjoy the tastes of Little Italy. Yep. Been out of the country for 2 weeks and I am already running to the heart of Italian immigrant areas to eat proper Italian food.
#7 I started transcribing the tapes of my conversations with the guy from Cinque Terre for my Honors thesis. All I can think about is him sitting on his black couch in his Jesus pants smoking a joint and doing his laundry at two in the morning. Strange mental image, that is.
Time to go 'Eat' some chocolate, 'Pray' I can stop thinking about Italy for an hour each day, and try to 'Love' being back in the States a little harder. I don't think I've given it much effort yet. Time to get on that.
AUGUST 26.
In King Library, minding my own business, I hear it. That intoxicating language that I could listen to all day.
An Italian professor and his student are discussing lunch in line ahead of me. It was like hearing the sound of the ocean after a long time away from the beach... Completely soothing and mesmerizing.
