TADAIMA~
Left sunny San Francisco to come back to rainy and windy Italy >___>
I miss SF! I wanna go back T__T
So, after my Rome-Pisa flight got canceled, and the next one got a couple of hours of delay, I finally got home around 9:30 on Sunday evening, after about 35 hours of travel O__O I never thought I could be capable of resisting so long XD
I found my NEWS and Arashi calendars waiting for me at home. Finally got a look at them. I was hoping for a table calendar, 'cause I already have 2 other calendars that need hanging up since January, but are still in their boxes since I have no idea where to put them ><
I haven't contacted tech support for my laptop yet. Will do today.
All I did yesterday was sleep and tidy up a little XD Then I went to bed at 1 am, but woke up at 2, then 2:30, then 3!! And on until 5:15, after which I just couldn't fall asleep anymore, so I picked up my book and started reading, hoping that would bring me some sleepiness, but it didn't work! I ended up reading till 6:45, then got up and got ready to go to work.
The lovely tenjo-chan (miss you~ <3)informed me of NEWS' new single when it was announced, and told me to get the LE immediately. I didn't even read what the hell was in the LE, I just promptly went to CDJapan, ready to order! But the LE was out of print already T_T I'm hoping they re-stock, which has happened often. Actually, it's more like I hope they re-stock by today, 'cause I've got a coupon that expires today XD I'd given up on using it, but then this came up! I WANT THAT LE SINGLE !!!!
But with the laptop gone, I can't even stalk CDJapan's site for when they re-stock ><
A lot's happened, and I took many pictures. Hopefully I'll be able to write about it all soon.
2 weeks seem short, but as I set foot in Italy on Sunday morning, I felt it had been ages since I'd left, and all of a sudden it was like I left a glamorous life to come back to routine. It was not a pleasant feeling ^_^;
A few things I've learned in the past 2 weeks, that I think everybody should know of:
1) Never listen to anyone who tells you not to upgrade your warranty! Especially when it comes to laptops. I'm never gonna make that mistake again.
2) Before entering a shower you're using for the first time ever, look down to check if it's equipped against slipping. I didn't do that at the Quality Inn at O'Hare (Chicago), and ended up slipping and hitting my leg on the side. I still got the bump, and it still hurts.
3) If you go down to the Piers in San Francisco, NEVER EVER eat at Fishermen's Grotto!! I'm sad to say this, since it's also an Italian restaurant, and actually looking at other plates, and hearing other opinions, the quality is pretty good and the prices reasonable. Unfortunately, what I had to eat made me sick all the remaining day, and left me with nausea throughout the next day as well. Something in my plate wasn't exactly "fresh".
4) Don't trust bestsellers. They're not necessarily good, even if they get good reviews from famous and important magazines/newspapers.
That's enough blab. Here's hoping my next post will be from my laptop *fingers crossed*
Oh, thank you for all the comments and adds. I can't quite reply right now, since I came back to over 700 emails! ^_^;; Will do as soon as I can. Meanwhile, hugs and cookies to everyone for your support and patience ^____^ And for actually reading all my nonsense XD
Btw, anybody watched Ponyo? Wanna go today or tomorrow!
