I've been to Georgia on a fast train

Well.

I'm back.

Italy was lovely. We spent a few days in La Spezia/the Cinqueterre, drove to Verona and spent a week there, drove up through Cortina and Bolzano, then returned to Malpensa and Milan. For any further details, you'll have to corner me in person. Suffice it to say that doing grappa shots with my parents was extremely bizarre.

I had fun, but I really missed Moscow/Walla Walla and everyone contained therein. (And you all know who you are. And if you're not contained in the Moscow/Walla Walla subset, you fit under the lj blanket. So there.)

I spent today with the charming zoing--going to the grocery store is so much more fun with a crazy person. Going to see Harry Potter tonight . . . ooh fun.

(Props to benefitz and gordonjuan for the music. You are . . . the wind beneath my wings.)
