AUTOMN AND ALL THAT IS GREY


I can see my daily routine setting itself, but still dealing with a lot of paperwork here. I think Italian find it as some sort of dark joke on foreigners (or the literal translation = strangers). School is getting up and running, my classes are interesting on some parts and not as challenging on others. But it is a good chance for me to "automotivate" and create more interesting productions. I am eating well here. The farmer's markets are everywhere and sell very fresh produce. The only thing is that I am eating way too much sliced meats and cheese! They are so good. I think the only thing missing is good bread. It is definitely not there speciality.

On more serious news. The city is having some political uproar with topics being discussed and a lot of hate for Mister B. They are shutting alternative clubs, and a smell on conservatism can be felt in the air. Luckily the youth are strong here, but sadly are not given enough credit. On that note... pictures!

Vogue Fashion's Night Out was a nice evening, we arrived at midnight and it was still going. Free flowing sparkling wine and trashy models in the windoes. We visited the Prada store, where the only night on the year wear the sales poeple would not look at you like if you were the scum of this earth. As for my foot int he bull, if you turn three times while your foot in the positions, it gives you good luck.
